MEMORANDUM Fred George Labankoff, Swetlana Labankoff, Ludmila Shpitj, and Shpitj Labankoff General Trust (“appellants”) appeal pro se from the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel’s (“BAP”) order affirming the bankruptcy court’s order abstaining from deciding an adversary proceeding against appellees and dismissing appellants’ adversary proceeding without prejudice. We dismiss. We lack jurisdiction to review the bankruptcy court’s decision to abstain pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334(c)(1). See 28 U.S.C. § 1334(d). We also lack jurisdiction to review the denial of appellants’ motion to recuse the bankruptcy judge. See Greene v.

Appellants’ request for judicial notice and motion to strike appellees’ opening brief are denied. DISMISSED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
