1Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM **
William S. Ellis, Jr., the sole equity security holder of Chapter 11 Debtor Upland Partners, appeals pro se the district court’s judgment affirming the bankruptcy court’s order approving creditors’ claims numbered 36, 37, 45, 46, 47 and 48. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, see Dawson v. Wash. Mut. Bank (In re Dawson), 390 F.3d 1139, 1145 (9th Cir.2004), and we affirm.
The bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion in requiring written submissions concerning Ellis’ objections to the claims instead of holding an evidentiary hearing. See Lee-Benner…
