YAN SUI; PEI-YU YANG, MEMORANDUM*

Plaintiffs - Appellants,

v.

RICHARD A. MARSHACK, Chapter 7 Trustee; MARSHACK HAYS WOOD, LLP, a law firm; PAUL M. KRUSEY,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California John A. Kronstadt, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted July 15, 2025**

Before: SILVERMAN, TALLMAN, and BUMATAY, Circuit Judges.

Yan Sui and Pei-Yu Yang appeal pro se from the district court’s order

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). striking their notices of appeal and dismissing their bankruptcy appeal pursuant to

a vexatious litigant pre-filing order. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.

§ 158(d). We review for an abuse of discretion the district court’s application of a

vexatious litigant pre-filing order. In re Fillbach, 223 F.3d 1089, 1090 (9th Cir.

2000). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Sui and Yang’s

appeal because Sui and Yang failed to comply with the pre-filing order previously

entered against them in 2018. See Weissman v. Quail Lodge, Inc., 179 F.3d 1194,

1197 (9th Cir. 1999) (“District courts have the inherent power to file restrictive

pre-filing orders against vexatious litigants with abusive and lengthy histories of

litigation. Such pre-filing orders may enjoin the litigant from filing further actions

or papers unless he or she first meets certain requirements . . . .” (citation

omitted)); Yan Sui v. Marshack, No. 13-cv-01607 JAK-KES, 2018 WL 5276300,

at *5-7 (C.D. Cal. Mar. 9, 2018) (prefiling order).

We reject as meritless Sui and Yang’s contentions that the district court

violated their due process rights.

We do not consider Sui and Yang’s challenges to the 2018 prefiling order or

orders issued in the bankruptcy and adversary proceedings because these orders are

outside the scope of this appeal.

AFFIRMED.
