v. 20-cv-1143 (JLS) WILLIAM K. HARRINGTON, 20-cv-1144 (JLS) Appellee.
ORDER In two separate but substantially similar matters,’ Appellant Deighan Law LLC—which, according to Appellant, is generally known as UpRight Law or UpRight Law LLC—seeks interlocutory review of the bankruptcy court's order granting the United States Trustee’s motion to compel UpRight to respond to interrogatories. See Case No. 20-cv-1148; Case No. 20-cv-1144. The Court has studied and considered the parties’ arguments regarding UpRight’s motion for leave to pursue an interlocutory appeal. Dkts. 1,5, 8. On these facts, the Court declines to grant such leave.

The motions for leave to appeal are denied. Dkt. 1. The motions fora “limited order staying enforcement” of the bankruptcy court’s August 7, 2020 Order are denied as moot. Dkt. 9. The Clerk of Court shall close these matters.
SO ORDERED. Dated: February 4, 2021 Buffalo, New York
