Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

Dear Henrik,
Like David said, you only have 15 minutes to argue your case, which is plenty of time. In case you didnt know, you will be timed by the court.
You obviously know who the judges assigned to your case are. You might consider going to Pasadena and asking the clerk of court, or the marshalls about the judges' personalities/quirks.
Here's some BAP folklore: I'm not sure if you requested a Stay Pending Appeal, but if you did and it was granted you're most likely going to win your appeal. If on the other hand, your Stay was not granted, there might be trouble.
Finally, try to relax. Believe it or not, many if not most appeals herd by the BAP are Pro Per cases. If these people can do it, obviously you can.

I have oral arguments in front of the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel next
Friday in Pasadena. One of my Chapter 7 cases was dismissed for
"Substantial Abuse" 707(b). My appeal is based on Equal Protection
and Due Process violation. As I said, this is my first time @ the
BAP. For those with more experience than I, any suggestions or
pointers?
