MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

DEBORAH K. CHASANOW, District Judge.

On September 9, 2015, Appellant Elizabeth Julia Pawlak ("Appellant") filed an appeal from an order of Bankruptcy Judge Wendelin I. Lipp granting default judgment in favor of Appellee United States Department of Education ("Appellee"). (ECF No.

1). On April 20, 2016, Appellant filed a motion to remand this action to bankruptcy court, "[f]or the reason apparent from the enclosed Exhibits." (ECF No. 9). Appellant's exhibits were a medical report and an email from Appellee's counsel referencing Appellant's news regarding a medical condition. (ECF Nos. 10; 10-1). Counsel's email suggested that Appellant seek remand to allow her "to supplement the record and make a showing that this condition is one that will qualify [her] for an undue hardship exemption and discharge. Then it will be up to us to take a position . . ., and then the bankruptcy court can decide." (ECF Nos. 10-1; 13-4, at 3-4).1 Based on those exhibits, the court determined that Appellant sought to remand this action in order to supplement the record in light of new circumstances and allow the bankruptcy court proceedings to continue. The court therefore construed the motion to remand as a motion for voluntary dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 8023. The rule provides: "An appeal may be dismissed on the appellant's motion on terms agreed to by the parties or fixed by the district court[.]" Based on Appellant's motion and the attached email from Appellee's counsel effectively consenting to the motion, the court granted Appellant's motion, remanded this case to the bankruptcy court, denied Appellant's other pending motions as moot, and directed the clerk to close this case on April 22, 2016. (ECF Nos. 11; 12).

On June 30, 2016, as the remanded case was proceeding, Appellant filed the instant motion to reopen and amend the April 22 order. (ECF No. 13). Appellee responded (ECF No. 14), and Appellant filed a reply and a supplemental to her reply (ECF Nos. 15; 16). Appellant now contends that it was not her intention to seek a voluntary dismissal of her appeal. Instead, she argues that she sought an order remanding the action "solely for settlement conferences and negotiations while retaining jurisdiction over the appeal by this District Court." (ECF No. 13, at 2). Appellant also argues that, "most importantly, it appears that despite [] the order of April 22, 2016, the undersigned is also `out of court' in the bankruptcy court" (id. at 3), citing Judge Lipp's June 21, 2016, order denying her motion for a stay of collection efforts (ECF No. 13-10).

Appellant's argument is belied by the facts, and she has not shown grounds for reconsideration. Her motion to remand contained no reference to settlement proceedings. (See ECF Nos. 9; 10-1). Appellant represented that the parties were seeking remand to supplement the record and have the bankruptcy court decide if she had shown that she qualified for an undue hardship exemption and discharge. (ECF Nos. 10-1; 13-4, at 3-4). As she similarly represented to the bankruptcy court on May 31, 2016, she "filed with the district court a motion to remand the matter to this bankruptcy court in order to supplement the record in light of new circumstances." (ECF No. 13-5, at 1-2). It was not until after the bankruptcy court denied her motion to stay collection efforts, two months after remand, that she filed this motion for reconsideration in an attempt to cabin the bankruptcy court's jurisdiction "to the parties['] settlement discussions and proposed settlement." (ECF No. 13, at 1). Further, Appellant did not request, and Appellee did not consent to, this court retaining jurisdiction over her appeal when the action was remanded. Appellant's dissatisfaction with the subsequent proceedings does not merit reopening her appeal. Appellant fails to set forth any basis for the court to reconsider its April 22 order.

Accordingly, it is this 22nd day of December, 2016, by the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, ORDERED that:

1. The motion to reopen case and amend the Order of April 22, 2016, filed by Appellant Elizabeth Julia Pawlak (ECF No. 13) BE, and the same hereby IS, DENIED; and

2. The clerk will transmit copies of the Memorandum Opinion and Order directly to Appellant and to counsel for Appellee.
