Description
Claiming that the District Judge abused his discretion, Pyramid Mobile Homes, Inc. seeks review of an order of the District Court dismissing its appeal from a jury verdict and order of the Bankruptcy Court adjudicating Pyramid an involuntary bankrupt. Being unwilling to sanction Pyramid's inexcusably dilatory tactics, we affirm the order of dismissal. Pyramid was found to be bankrupt on April 14, 1975, and filed a notice of appeal with the District Court on April 23, 1975. Some two months later, according to the affidavit of the court reporter, the appellant first contacted him to begin preparation of the transcript for the appellate record. The reporter, who had not yet been paid his per diem fees for the trial itself, refused to commence transcription until he received a partial payment of $1000. Pyramid assured him that a check would be forwarded immediately, but as of September 3, 1975, two and a half months after this initial telephonic contact and over four months after appealing, the reporter had heard nothing further from Pyramid.
