    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted Jan. 8, 2002.
    
    Decided May 14, 2002.
    
      Before CHOY, FERGUSON, and BOOCHEVER, Circuit Judges.
    
      
      This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

Stella Kasai mortgaged her residence to Finance Factors Ltd. (“Finance Factors”). The property was sold to Finance Factors at a foreclosure sale after the Bankruptcy Court granted relief from the automatic stay and while Kasai’s appeal from the Bankruptcy Court’s ruling was pending before the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (“BAP”). After the foreclosure, the BAP dismissed her appeal as moot, and Kasai appeals. We review the BAP’s decision de novo. Contractors’ State License Bd. v. Dunbar (In re Dunbar), 245 F.3d 1058, 1061 (9th Cir.2001).

We affirm the BAP’s dismissal of Kasai’s appeal. In Onouli-Kona Land Co. v. Estate of Richards (In re Onouli-Kona Land Co.), 846 F.2d 1170 (9th Cir.1988), under similar circumstances, we affirmed the district court’s dismissal of an appeal from a bankruptcy court’s order confirming a foreclosure as moot, even when the creditor was a party to the appeal, because the foreclosure sale was complete and Hawaii statutes do not create a right of redemption. Id. at 1173; see Fed. Home Loan Mortgage Corp. v. Transamerica Ins. Co., 89 Hawaii 157, 969 P.2d 1275, 1282 (1998) (Hawaii’s equitable right of redemption terminates on an order of foreclosure, and no statutory right exists).

AFFIRMED.
