No Alice is not withdrawing her appeal. Her motion is attempting to deny Judge Walrath the ability to rule on the yet to be filed Motion to close the bankruptcy until the district judge renders an opinion on her appeal. The letter from the LT indicates imo that the LT will not ask Walrath to rule on such a motion to close until the district judge rules on Alice's withdrawal motion. Nothing really is stopping the LT from filing the motion to close, other than it would make them look bad. Technically, if the motion to close were filed, and the district court had not heard the motion yet, Walrath could order the closure after hearing objections on the december date because Walrath still would have jurisdiction to do so. Alice's appeal by itself imo would not be an obstacle to closing the bankruptcies as long as everything is administered. If the district court reverses Walrath, the LT would have to follow it (unless further appealed) and nothing is really required on Walrath's part.
