Motion to Reinstate or Sever Appeal Suspended by Bankruptcy
(a) Motion to Reinstate. If a case has been
suspended by a bankruptcy filing, a party

lifted or terminated the stay, a certified copy
of the order must be attached to the motion.

the appeal with respect to the bankrupt party

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
