OPINION
GERALD J. WEBER, District Judge.
This is an appeal from an order of the bankruptcy court.
For the third time appellants have filed for bankruptcy immediately prior to a scheduled sheriff’s sale to block the sale. I believe this is an egregious abuse of process.
The first bankruptcy case was dismissed for bad faith on January 13, 1984.
The second bankruptcy case was dismissed for failure to file the necessary documents on November 20, 1985. At that time the bankruptcy judge promised the appellees a prompt hearing if appellants filed another bankruptcy on the eve of a sheriff's sale.
