BAP No. 11-1000 Debtor,

MEMORANDUM *

ROBERT DOAN,

Appellant,

v.

LESLIE GLADSTONE, Trustee,

Appellee.

Appeal from the Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel Kirscher, Hollowell, and Markell, Bankruptcy Judges, Presiding

Argued and Submitted June 7, 2013 Pasadena, California

Before: TROTT, LUCERO ** and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The Honorable Carlos F. Lucero, Circuit Judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, sitting by designation. Robert Doan appeals the bankruptcy court’s denial of his motion to remove

Leslie Gladstone as Chapter Seven trustee from the bankruptcy case of debtor Log

and Conventional Homes, Inc. The bankruptcy court found that Doan had not met

his burden to establish “cause” under 11 U.S.C. § 324(a) to remove Gladstone as

trustee. The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (“BAP”) affirmed.

We have reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments. We agree with the

BAP that the bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion in finding that Doan had

not established “cause” under § 324(a). See In re AFI Holding, Inc., 530 F.3d 832,

844 (9th Cir. 2008).

We deny Gladstone’s request for judicial notice.

AFFIRMED.
