III. Discussion A. The Testimony of January 10, 2001 We first address Perry’s procedural point of appeal. Perry contends that the bankruptcy court erred by receiving and taking into consideration testimony presented by the Bank on January 10, 2001. Under Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 4003(b), a party in interest who disputes an exemption claimed by the debtor must file an objection no later than 30 days after the meeting of creditors or 30 days after any amendment to the list of exemptions or supplemental schedules is filed. Perry contends, and the district court agreed, that the bankruptcy court erred when it permitted the Bank to file its objections to Perry’s claimed homestead exemption well after the filing deadline. See In re Stoulig, 45 F.3d 957, 957-58 (5th Cir.1995) (<HOLDING>). A review of the record, however, indicates
holding that the 30day notice of appeal requirement is mandatory and jurisdictional holding that a bankruptcy court may not extend the 30day objection period holding that the 30day deadline to file a notice of appeal with the bia was not jurisdictional holding that the bankruptcy court could not extend a deadline for filing a notice of appeal beyond the 20 day extension period allowed by the bankruptcy rules holding 30day limit to be mandatory and jurisdictional
