OPINION AFFIRMING THE BANKRUPTCY COURT’S 2016 ORDER
MICHAEL W. FITZGERALD, United States District JudgeBefore the Court is a bankruptcy appeal from the United States Bankruptcy Court (the Honorable Wayne Johnson, United States Bankruptcy Judge) (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Appellants Crown Enterprises and Hayward Property, LLC appeal from the Bankruptcy Court’s January 2016 Order Denying Motion to Reopen Case for the Limited Purpose of Correcting Sale Order and Defective Deed (the “2016 Order”). (Excerpts of Record (“ER”) Ex. A (Docket No. 10-3)).
On April 27, 2016, Appellants filed their Opening Brief. (Docket No. 10). No Appel-lee has appeared in this case, although XPO Logistics Freight, Inc. has appeared as an Interested Party. On June 24, 2016, XPO filed an Objection to Bankruptcy Appeal or Alternatively Request for Continuance (“Request”). (Docket No. 17).
The Court has reviewed the papers filed in this appeal and held a hearing on June 27, 2016. Counsel for Appellants as well as XPO appeared at the hearing.
For the reasons stated below, the Court AFFIRMS the 2016 Order. The Bankruptcy Court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to reopen the bankruptcy proceeding. The Bankruptcy Court applied the correct law, and its application of the law to the facts of the case was neither illogical, implausible, nor unsupported by facts in the record.
Because the Court affirms the Bankruptcy Court’s decision, the Court DENIES as moot XPO’s Request to continue the oral argument.
I. BACKGROUND
In 2002, Consolidated Freightways filed for bankruptcy protection. (ER Ex. E at 333 (Docket No. 10-7)). In the bankruptcy sale, Appellants purchased the real property located at 2256 Claremont Ct., Hayward, CA 94545 (the “Hayward Property”). (Id. at 340, 356). In the Bankruptcy Court’s order authorizing the sale (“Sale Order”), the Bankruptcy Court retained jurisdiction to “resolve any disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or relating to the Agreement,” (Id. at 361).
Somehow, when the Quitclaim Deed was recorded, the Quitclaim Deed reflected a different property in Emeryville, rather than Hayward, California. (ER Ex. C at 137 (Docket No. 10-5)). In addition, according to Appellants, the metes and bounds description in the purchase agreement memorializing the sale, which was attached as Exhibit A to the Sale Order, failed to “fully” describe the Hayward Property. (Id. at 131).
Appellants did not discover these defects until approximately September 2015, when a prospective purchaser expressed interest in the Hayward Property. (Id. at 132). Appellants attempted to remedy this issue by contacting counsel for the Trust, but counsel for the Trust indicated that the Trust was dissolved in 2012. (ER Ex. D at 227 (Docket No. 10-6) (“We no longer have a client that we can discuss this with, as there is no longer any Trust in existence *399and the Trustee’s authority and services terminated in late 2012.”)).
In December 2015, Appellants filed a Motion to Reopen Case for the Limited Purpose of Correcting Sale Order and Defective Deed (the “Motion”) with the Bankruptcy Court. (See generally ER Ex. B (Docket No. 10-4)). Notice of the Motion was served by email to 104 recipients who had participated in the bankruptcy proceeding, and no oppositions to the Motion were filed. (ER Ex. H at 411 (Docket No. 10-10); ER Ex. I at 420-25 (Docket Nos. 10-11)). The Bankruptcy Court held a hearing on January 12, 2016, and denied the Motion. (ER Ex. F at 399 (Docket No. 10-8)). Appellants then filed a timely Notice of Appeal to this Court on January 22, 2016. (Id. at 389).
On June 17, 2016, Appellants filed a supplemental brief notifying the Court that XPO Logistics Freight, Inc. has come forward and “asserted that it, and not Appellants, owns one of the parcels of [Hayward] [Property.” (Notice of Disclosure of Newly-Discovered Claims Relevant to Appeal ¶ 4 (Docket No. 15)). Appellants dispute XPO’s claim and contend that XPO owns only a neighboring property to the Hayward Property. (Id.).
II. DISCUSSION
Denial of a motion to reopen a bankruptcy case is reviewed for an abuse of discretion. Lopez v. Specialty Res. Corp. (In re Lopez), 283 B.R. 22, 26 (9th Cir. BAP 2002). To determine whether the Bankruptcy Court abused .its discretion, the Court conducts a two-step inquiry: (1) the Court reviews de novo whether the Bankruptcy Court “identified the correct legal rule to apply to the relief requested”; and (2) if it did, the Court considers whether the Bankruptcy Court’s application of the legal standard was illogical, implausible, or “without support in inferences that may be drawn from the facts in the record.” United States v. Hinkson, 585 F.3d 1247, 1261-62 & n. 21 (9th Cir.2009) (en banc).
“Application to have the estate reopened may be made by an ‘interested party’ who would be benefitted by the reopening.” In re Welch, No. BK 11-18277-LBR, 2015 WL 65307, at *4 (9th Cir. BAP Jan. 5, 2015) (citation omitted). The Bankruptcy Court’s decision to reopen or not is discretionary and governed by 11 U.S.C. § 350. Id. In exercising this discretion, the Bankruptcy Court may consider numerous factors, including (1) the benefit to creditors, (2) the benefit to debtor, (3) the prejudice to affected parties, (4) the availability of relief in other forums, (5) whether the estate has been fully administered, (6) the length of time between the closing of the case and the motion to reopen, and (7) good faith. See In re Arana, 456 B.R. 161, 172-73 (Bankr.E.D.N.Y. 2011); accord In re Welch, 2015 WL 65307, at *4 (“[A] bankruptcy court may consider a number of nonexclusive factors in determining whether to reopen, including (1) the length of time that the case has been closed; whether the debtor would be entitled to relief if the case were reopened; and (3) the availability of nonbankruptcy courts, such as state courts, to entertain the claims. Bankruptcy Courts can also consider whether any parties would be prejudiced were the case reopened or not.” (citations omitted)).
Here, the Bankruptcy Court found that the first six factors weighed against reopening the case and denied the Motion. (ER Ex. G at 401 (Docket No. 10-9)). The Bankruptcy Court conveyed its uncertainty as to how to weigh the last factor (good faith) under the circumstances. (Id. at 402 (“Element of good faith, I’m not sure how to weigh that factor under these circum*400stances. [It has] been 14 years since this passed.”)).
Appellants contend that the Bankruptcy Court abused its discretion in analyzing the third (prejudice to affected parties), fourth (availability of relief in other forums), and sixth (length of time between the closing of the case and the motion to reopen) factors. (Appellants’ Opening Brief at 3-4). Appellants do not contest the Bankruptcy Court’s analysis regarding the other factors.
A. Third Factor: Prejudice to Affected Parties
1. Prejudice to Appellants
The Bankruptcy Court did not err in concluding that Appellants had not proven they would suffer any prejudice because (1) the Sale Order indicated that the purchase was covered by title insurance, and (2) an alternate remedy was available in state court through a quiet title action. (ER Ex. G at 3-4).
First, Appellants do not contest the Bankruptcy Court’s conclusion that Appellants would be indemnified by the title insurance company referenced in the purchase agreement. Therefore, even setting aside the availability of a quiet title action, Appellants’ claims of “severe prejudice” are overstated.
Second, as the Court discusses below, the Court agrees with the Bankruptcy Court that an alternative remedy is available in Superior Court, and Appellants will therefore not suffer any undue prejudice.
2. Prejudice to Other Parties
Appellants contend that the Bankruptcy Court abused its discretion in finding prejudice to other parties given the absence of any opposing parties to the Motion or any affected parties aside from Appellants. (Opening Brief at 11).
It is true that no parties opposed Appellant’s Motion in the underlying bankruptcy proceeding. However, to the extent that Appellants fault the Bankruptcy Court for considering prejudice to any “hypothetical” affected parties, this argument is without merit. The Bankruptcy Court was free to “consider whether any parties would be prejudiced were the case reopened or not.” In re Welch, 2015 WL 65307, at *4 (emphasis added). Furthermore, the Bankruptcy Court’s concern with prejudice to “other affected parties” is far from hypothetical. XPO’s recent appearance and challenge to Appellants’ interest in the Hayward Property demonstrate that the Bankruptcy Court’s concern was indeed well-founded. Although counsel for Appellants argued at the hearing that XPO’s claim in the Hayward Property is legally defective, these aré arguments that are properly heard before the Superior Court in a quiet title action.
Therefore, applying the two-step test, the Court concludes that the Bankruptcy Court applied the correct legal rule and did not abuse its discretion in considering the prejudice to other affected parties. Furthermore, the multi-factor test required the Bankruptcy Court to balance all seven factors when deciding whether to reopen the case. Even if the Court were to disregard the prejudice to other affected parties, the Court would still affirm the Bankruptcy Court’s denial of the Motion on the grounds that the availability of a remedy in an alternate forum outweighs any prejudice to Appellants.
B. Fourth Factor: Availability of Relief in Other Forums
Appellants contend that the Bankruptcy Court abused its discretion in concluding that alternative relief is available in Superior Court because (1) the Bankruptcy *401Court’s decision in the Sale Order to retain jurisdiction denied any other court concurrent jurisdiction; and (2) under governing California law, Appellants are precluded, as a matter of law, from the relief sought. (Opening Brief at 13, 16-17).
1. State Court Jurisdiction
Although it is true that state courts do not have jurisdiction to alter bankruptcy court orders, see In re McGhan, 288 F.3d 1172, 1179 (9th Cir.2002), the Court disagrees with the premise of Appellants’ argument that a quiet title action in Superior Court would require a modification of the Sale Order.
As the Bankruptcy Court noted, the relief Appellants seek is a modification of (1) the purchase agreement, which has no legal effect as an attachment to the Sale Order; and (2) the recorded title. (ER Ex. G at 3). Even the case on which Appellants rely explicitly held that state courts retain concurrent jurisdiction under 11 U.S.C. § 1334(b) to take any action other than modifying the Sale Order and to take any action involving property after it is no longer property of the bankruptcy estate. In re Skyline Woods Country Club, LLC, 431 B.R. 830, 835-36 (8th Cir. BAP 2010).
The Court therefore concludes that the Bankruptcy Court did not apply an incorrect rule of law when determining that state courts had jurisdiction to hear a quiet title action pertaining to property purchased at the bankruptcy sale.
2. Other Obstacles
Appellants further argue that the Bankruptcy Court abused its discretion in con- ■ eluding that a quiet title action in Superior Court constituted an adequate alternative to reopening the bankruptcy proceeding. (Opening Brief at 16-17).
As a threshold matter, Appellants’ arguments regarding the adequacy of relief through a quiet title action appear to be waived. These arguments were neither raised in the Motion nor presented at the hearing. (See generally ER Exs. B, G). Furthermore, the Court questions whether Appellants’ arguments regarding the merits of the quiet title action are even proper for this Court or the Bankruptcy Court to consider. In examining the availability of alternative relief, the Court doubts that 11 U.S.C. § 350 would require the Bankruptcy Court to apply California state law and consider Appellant’s likelihood of success on a potential quiet title action. But even if the Court were to reach Appellants’ claims of other obstacles standing in the way of relief through a quiet title action, Appellants’ arguments still fail.
Appellants first claim that because the Debtor and Trust no longer legally exist, there is “no legal person on whom to serve the summons and complaint in a quiet title action.” (Id. at 16). But even if the adverse parties are unknown or even non-existent, Appellants could bring a quiet title action because California procedural rules allow plaintiffs to plead against and serve by publication pseudonymous adverse parties if the adverse parties are unknown. Cal Code Civ. Proc. §§ 762.020, 763.010; see also S. Shore Land Co. v. Petersen, 226 Cal.App.2d 725, 731, 38 Cal.Rptr. 392 (1964) (example of a plaintiff filing a complaint to quiet title against “five doe defendants and [] all unknown claimants”). Furthermore, if Appellants remain concerned about their ability to sufficiently plead a quiet title action, XPO has felicitously come forward and supplied Appellants with an adverse party to name in a quiet title action.
Appellants also claim that California law precludes an equitable title holder from maintaining a quiet title action against a legal title holder. (Opening Brief at 16-17). Under California law, however, only the legal title holder has standing to *402assert this argument. Montgomery v. Nat’l City Mortg., No. C-12-1359 EMC, 2012 WL 1965601, at *12 (N.D.Cal. May 31, 2012) (holding that the loan servicer rather than the owner of legal title does not have standing to assert this argument). According to Appellants, only dissolved entities hold legal title; therefore, in effect, no entity would be able to assert this argument against Appellants.
To the extent that Appellants argue that Superior Court would be a less convenient forum to pursue a remedy, a “perceived convenience” of reopening the case as compared to an alternative remedy is not a sufficient reason to reopen this case. In re OORC Leasing, LLC, 359 B.R. 227, 233 (Bankr.N.D.Ind.2007) (denying creditor’s request to reopen the bankruptcy case when other non-bankruptcy courts of appropriate jurisdiction are available even if “the bankruptcy court would be a more convenient forum”).
Therefore, applying the two-step test, the Court concludes that the Bankruptcy Court did not abuse its discretion. The Bankruptcy Court correctly applied the law when holding that a quiet title action in Superior Court was available to Appellants. Furthermore, the Bankruptcy Court drew logical inferences from the facts in the record when holding that a quiet title action was available to Appellants.
C. Sixth Factor: Intervening Lapse of Time
Appellants’ final contention is that the Bankruptcy Court abused its discretion in finding that the passage of 14 years weighed against reopening the case. Appellants contend that the passage of time can only weigh against reopening a case insomuch as it causes prejudice. '
First, this argument does not address the fact that the Bankruptcy Court did consider and find that reopening would be prejudicial to other affected parties who may have an interest adverse to Appellants in the Hayward Property. (ER Ex. E at 5) (“[T]he affected parties are entitled to the procedural protections that come from a quiet title action.”).
Second, this area of law is not as conclusively settled as Appellants suggest. Appellants cite to Second Circuit case law for support, but other Circuits have held that the mere passage of time does weigh against reopening and requires a greater showing of cause to support reopening. See, e.g., Redmond v. Fifth Third Bank, 624 F.3d 793, 799 (7th Cir.2010) (“The passage of time weighs heavily against reopening. The longer a party waits to file a motion to reopen a closed bankruptcy case, the more compelling the reason to reopen must be.”); In re Case, 937 F.2d 1014, 1018 (5th Cir.1991) (“The longer the time between the closing of the estate and the motion to reopen, however, the more compelling the reason for reopening the estate should be.”); Reid v. Richardson, 304 F.2d 351, 355 (4th Cir.1962) (“Re-opening removes the element of certainty from the adjudication and settlement of the estates. It is as essential to the creditors as it is desirable to the bankrupt that this element of certainty be destroyed only for the most compelling cause. Accordingly as the time between closing of the estate and its reopening increases, so must also the cause for re-opening increase in weight.”). Therefore, even if the Bankruptcy Court did not consider prejudice to other affected parties, the Court would not be able to conclude that the Bankruptcy Court applied the incorrect legal rule in the absence of governing Ninth Circuit case law.
D. Balancing the Equities
On balance, especially in view of the alternative remedy available in Superior Court, the equities weigh against Appel*403lants’ request to reopen the bankruptcy proceeding. Cf. In re Fuller, 146 B.R. 633, 639 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.1992) (“It is questionable whether a desire to clear title.is a sufficient ground to reopen a bankruptcy case” when “an alternative remedy in the state” is available .... “[T]here appears to be little justification for invoking this court’s jurisdiction to resolve [a] clouded title problem.”).
The Court’s conclusion is further reinforced by the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Hull v. Powell, 309 F.2d 3, 4 (9th Cir. 1962), which also arose from a petition to reopen a bankruptcy case to clear title. In Hull, a bankruptcy estate was closed without administration in 1935. Id. The estate was reopened in 1958 for the purpose of dealing title in real property the petitioner had purchased when the State of California sold some of the debtor’s property for nonpayment of taxes. Id. The petitioner argued that the closing of the estate without administration left a cloud on his title. Id.
On appeal, the Ninth Circuit observed that, in other circuits, “[i]t has been held improper to reopen an estate for the purpose of clarifying the title of the bankrupt or his vendee, or even the title of a vendee of the trustee.” Id. (citing Saper v. Viviani, 226 F.2d 608 (2d Cir.1955); In re Ostermayer, 74 F.Supp. 803 (D.N.J.1947)). Furthermore, the Ninth Circuit found that “[t]he petitioner’s delay in seeking relief was inordinate.” Id. at 6. For 23 years, petitioner and his predecessors in title had “record notice of the existence of the problem [that] is now advanced as cause for reopening but took no action.” Id. (emphasis added). “Moreover, it appears that petitioner and his predecessors in title may have had an alternative remedy in the courts of the State [that] they made no effort to pursue.” Id. After considering other factors, including opposition to further administration from a person who claimed intervening rights in the property, the Ninth Circuit held that the petitioner’s request “that the estate be reopened ‘for the purpose of clearing the title’ ” should have been denied. Id. at 6-7.
Many analogies can be drawn between Hull and the facts here. The most salient similarities include (1) the availability of alternative relief in Superior Court to quiet title; (2) the lengthy delay between seeking reopening and the time that the moving party had record notice of its clouded title; and (3) the prejudice to other parties who have now claimed an adverse interest in the property at issue.
At the hearing, counsel for Appellants emphasized that Appellants were bona fide purchasers who paid the purchase price and have continued to pay property taxes for the Hayward Property. Although the Court is sympathetic to the position in which Appellants find themselves, assuming all their allegations are true, whether the party seeking reopening was a bona fide purchaser did not seem to sway the Ninth Circuit’s holding in Hull that the petitioner’s request was inappropriate in light of the relevant factors. For these reasons, the Hull decision provides further support for this Court’s decision to affirm.
III. CONCLUSION
Accordingly, the Court AFFIRMS the decision of the Bankruptcy Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
