Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

James Karim Muhammad appeals pro se from an order of the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (“BAP”) dismissing his bankruptcy appeal as untimely. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 158(d). We review de novo. Delaney v. Alexander (In re Delaney), 29 F.3d 516, 517 (9th Cir. 1994). We affirm.

The BAP correctly dismissed Muhammad’s appeal because Muhammad failed to file the notice of appeal with the bankruptcy clerk within 14 days of entry of the order being appealed as required by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8002(a)(1). See 11 U.S.C. § 158(c)(2) (an appeal to the BAP or district court from a bankruptcy court must be taken within the time provided by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8002); Anderson v. Mouradick (In re Mouradick), 13 F.3d 326, 327 (9th Cir. 1994) (“The provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 8002 are jurisdictional. ”); see also Ramsey v. Ramsey (In re Ramsey), 612 F.2d 1220, 1223 (9th Cir. 1980) (declining to adopt a “mailbox rule” for Rule 8002(a) appeals).

Muhammad’s pending motions are denied as moot.

AFFIRMED.
