Robert P. Ciralsky v. Companion Mortgage

United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 02-1355 ___________ In re: Robert P. Ciralsky, * * Debtor. * * ------------------------- * * Robert P. Ciralsky, * Appeal from the United States * Bankruptcy Appellate Panel Appellant, * for the Eighth Circuit. * v. * [UNPUBLISHED] * Companion Mortgage Corporation; * John V. LaBarge, Jr., * * Appellees. * ___________ Submitted: December 20, 2002 Filed: December 26, 2002 ___________ Before LOKEN, BYE, and RILEY, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. Debtor Robert Ciralsky appeals the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel’s (BAP’s) orders (1) affirming the bankruptcy court’s1 orders granting creditor Companion Mortgage Corporation relief from the automatic stay, and denying reconsideration; and (2) denying reconsideration of the BAP’s affirming order. Ciralsky is seeking return of property that was sold at a pre-bankruptcy foreclosure sale. Ciralsky did not exercise his state-law redemption rights. The bankruptcy court dismissed the Chapter 13 proceeding after interlocutory lift-stay orders were issued over Ciralsky's objection. Ciralsky did not appeal the Chapter 13 dismissal. We agree with the BAP that the appeal is moot. See In re Rodriquez, 258 F.3d 757, 759 (8th Cir. 2001) (per curiam); In re Onouli-Kona Land Co., 846 F.2d 1170, 1172-73 (9th Cir. 1988); Mo. Rev. Stat. §§ 443.410, 443.420 (2000). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Ciralsky’s motion “to Compel Compromise Settlement.” A true copy.
