8000-1(b):  Appeals: COURTS: District Court: Central District of California

In adversary proceedings and contested matters, a party may wish to appeal a ruling after the bankruptcy court makes a ruling.   

Generally, the party wishing to file an appeal starts by filing a "Notice of Appeal and Statement of Election" with the bankruptcy court, and the form generally must be filed no later than 14 days after the court enters an order or judgment that sets forth the ruling (see FRBP 8002).  Some parties file their Notice of Appeal before the court enters the order or judgment on the court docket; this is authorized.

On the Notice of Appeal form, the party must indicate whether they want to appeal the order or judgment to the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (BAP) or appeal the ruling or judgment to the District Court for the Central District of California (CACD). 

Then, the bankruptcy court promptly files a Notice of Referral of Appeal and delivers it to either the BAP or the District Court to open an appellate court file.  The Notice of Referral is also sent to all parties to the appeal and contains information on how to order transcripts that can be used during the appeal.
