Bowman v. Loperena


No. 59


Submitted November 20, 1940
Decided December 9, 1940
311 U.S. 262

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

Syllabus

1. A petition in the bankruptcy court for a rehearing, from the denial of which an appeal was taken to the Circuit Court of Appeals in this case, held a petition for rehearing of an order adjudging the debtor a bankrupt. P. 265.

2. Where a petition for rehearing of an order of the bankruptcy court adjudging the debtor a bankrupt is allowed to be filed out of time, and the court, upon consideration of the merits, denies the petition, the time for the taking of an appeal from the order of adjudication runs not from the date of such order, but from the date of the denial of the petition for rehearing. P. 266.

110 F.2d 348 reversed.

Certiorari, 310 U.S. 621, to review the dismissal of an appeal from an order of the bankruptcy court adjudicating the debtor a bankrupt.
