Appellee.

Appeals from the Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel Taylor, Brand, and Kurtz, Bankruptcy Judges, Presiding

Submitted April 7, 2020**

Before: TASHIMA, BYBEE, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.

Alan M. Barlett appeals pro se from the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel’s

(“BAP”) judgment dismissing as untimely his appeal from the bankruptcy court’s

judgments in two adversary proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.

§ 158(d). We review de novo. In re Delaney, 29 F.3d 516, 517-18 (9th Cir. 1994).

We affirm.

The BAP properly concluded that Alan’s notices of appeal were untimely.

See Fed. R. Bank. P. 8002(a) (providing that a notice of appeal shall be filed with

the bankruptcy clerk within 14 days of the date of entry of the judgment, order, or

decree appealed from); In re Delaney, 29 F.3d at 517-18 (“The provisions of

Bankruptcy Rule 8002 are jurisdictional; the untimely filing of a notice of appeal

deprives the appellate court of jurisdiction to review the bankruptcy court’s order.”

** The panel unanimously concludes these cases are suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). 2 18-60066 18-60067 (internal citation omitted)). We reject as meritless Alan’s contentions that the

certificates of service of the complaints in the adversary proceedings were invalid.

See Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7004(b) (providing that service in bankruptcy adversary

proceedings may be made within the United States by first class mail).

Alan’s motions for oral argument (Docket Entries Nos. 6 and 13) and for

default judgment (Docket Entry No. 23) are denied.

AFFIRMED.
