(Chapter 11)
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER DENYING
MOTION FOR EXTENSION TO FILE NOTICE OF APPEAL
The debtor has filed a motion (Dkt. No. 111) to enlarge the
time to take an appeal from this court’s Order Denying Debtor’s
Request for Clarification in Motion for Reconsideration of Order
Denying Debtor’s Request. 	That order denied a motion filed on
December 29, 2009, seeking reconsideration of an order entered on
December 1, 2009. 	That motion was filed beyond the 14-day
deadline of Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9023, and did not alter the time
for taking an appeal from the order entered on December 1, 2009.
The debtor cannot utilize an appeal from the Order Denying
Debtor’s Request for Clarification in Motion for Reconsideration
of Order Denying Debtor’s Request as a vehicle for appealing the
earlier order as to which appeal is now time-barred. 	The
debtor's Request for Clarification in Motion for Reconsideration
The order below is hereby signed.
Signed: February 03, 2010.

of Order Denying Debtor’s Request set forth no grounds for relief
under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9024. 	Accordingly, an appeal would be
pointless. 	It is thus
ORDERED that the Motion for Extension to File Notice of
Appeal (Dkt. No. 111) is DENIED.
