Pepi Schafler, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Pepi Schafler has filed a petition for a direct appeal
to this court from an order of the Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Maryland. A party may only obtain a direct appeal
of a bankruptcy court order, however, if the bankruptcy court,
the district court, or the bankruptcy panel has certified that
the order sought to be appealed involves a question of law for
which there is no controlling precedent or involves a matter of
public importance; the order involves a question of law
requiring resolution of conflicting decisions; or an immediate
appeal would materially advance the proceedings. 28 U.S.C.
§ 158(d)(2)(A) (2012). Here, no court has certified that the
order sought to be appealed meets these criteria. Accordingly,
we deny Schafler’s petition and deny her motion to stay the
bankruptcy proceedings pending appeal.
PETITION DENIED
