Case Number: 
Nos. 16-3236 & 16-3713 Cons.
Decision Date: 
March 13, 2017
Federal District: 
W.D. Wisc.
Holding: 
Affirmed

Dist. Ct. did not err in dismissing as untimely debtor’s appeal of Bankruptcy Ct. order finding that certain debt to Wisconsin’s Office of Lawyer Registration was not dischargeable in bankruptcy, where debtor failed to file notice of appeal within applicable 14-day timeframe for doing so. While Bankruptcy Ct. may allow filing of late notice of appeal if application to file late notice of appeal is filed within 35 days after entry of applicable Bankruptcy Ct order, debtor waited 41 days to file his notice of appeal.
