The following excerpt is from Szanto v. Bistritz (In re Szanto), Adv. No. 3:14-05003-GWZ, BAP No. NV-14-152 8-FBD (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 2016):
3. Although neither the bankruptcy court nor the parties has addressed the question, we must assure ourselves that subject matter jurisdiction exists. See Snell v. Cleveland, Inc., 316 F.3d 822, 826 (9th Cir. 2002) ("a court may raise the question of subject matter jurisdiction, sua sponte, at any time during the pendency of the action, even on appeal").
