Sheedy v. Bankowski (In Re Sheedy)
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge.
The single issue before us is whether the bankruptcy court abused its discretion in denying Appellant Laura Sheedy’s (“Sheedy”) motion for extension of time to file a notice of appeal pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 8002(d) (1)(B) for failing to show excusable neglect. Sheedy’s motion was filed one business day late as a result of her attorney’s preoccupation with his second job as a church’s music director. After a review of the arguments, we discern no abuse of discretion and affirm.
