   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  00-6085
   Southern District of Iowa   
   Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. Bankruptcy court did not abuse its 
   discretion in denying motion for extension to time to file notice of 
   appeal. Bankruptcy court's finding that debtor did not demonstrate 
   excusable neglect was not clearly erroneous because debtor did 
   not explain why the appeal was untimely filed.
