In Re Lyondell Chemical Co. · filed 2009-03-18(a)(1)

But however often or rarely it is done, for whatever reasons appellate courts do it, and however they regard it, I conclude that dismissal of an appeal without prejudice — as contrasted to staying it — was not violative of the automatic stay when dismissal without prejudice was ordered as a means of attempting to comply with the need to stay the appeal. ... So long as the appeal can be resumed where it left off and no further burdens are placed on the debtor, the needs and concerns of the debtor, and the bankruptcy court, are equally satisfactorily addressed by either means of responding to the automatic stay.

Section 362(a) automatically stays a pending appeal against a Chapter 11 debtor upon its bankruptcy filing, even if insurance proceeds could satisfy the claim.

Leonard v. Grubb & Ellis Equity Advisors · filed 2013-08-19(a)

As mandated by 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, this proceeding was automatically stayed when Grubb & Ellis filed its petition in New York. Moreover, under controlling federal bankruptcy law, the only court authorized to provide relief from the stay was the bankruptcy court in New York. There was simply no authority to allow this appeal to proceed while the bankruptcy stay was in effect. This court's lack of authority in the face of a federal bankruptcy stay is so regardless of whether insurance proceeds to satisfy the claim existed.

On April 23, 2014, appellant filed a response, in the form of a motion for rehearing en banc, clarifying that attorney’s fees and sanctions were awarded against appellant in the underlying case. Upon consideration of appellant’s response, it is ORDERED that this appeal is stayed until a party notifies the Court that reinstatement is authorized by federal law or by the bankruptcy court and moves to reinstate the case.
