Case: 26-60048 Document: 55-1 Page: 2 Date Filed: 07/31/2026

No. 26-60048

Appellants Abby and Ricky Robinson, pro se, contend that the district court erred when it dismissed their appeal of a bankruptcy court judgment. When the district court had already closed that case, the Robinsons moved to appeal the judgment but failed to abide by the proper instructions and procedure for perfecting an appeal. Accordingly, the district court dismissed the Robinsons’ filing, to which the Robinsons now appeal.

Indeed, the Robinsons lodge a kitchen sink of jurisdictional and constitutional claims alleging the district court’s purported error in violation of the Full Faith and Credit Clause. But the district court properly instructed the Robinsons as to their recourse in pursuing an appeal, to which they inexplicably disregarded and now seek to circumvent. See Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8002(a)(1); id. 8003(a)(3). Our review of the record and district court’s judgment demonstrates no reversible error. See In re Berman-Smith, 737 F.3d 997, 1003 (5th Cir. 2013).

AFFIRMED.
