Case Number: 
Nos. 10-3017 & 10-3019 Cons.
Decision Date: 
July 21, 2011
Federal District: 
S.D. Ind., Evansville Div.
Holding: 
Appeal dismissed
Ct. of Appeals lacked jurisdiction to consider Bankruptcy Ct. order remanding state-court action alleging that defendant breached confidentiality agreement with respect to parties' plan to bid on assets of third-party debtor in bankruptcy proceeding where said action had been removed to Bankruptcy Court as part of complaint seeking various remedies against other entities that was related to said bankruptcy proceeding. While Bankruptcy Ct. actually had authority under supplemental jurisdiction to consider state-court action, even though aspects of complaint relating to prior Bankruptcy Ct. order had been dismissed from case, Bankruptcy Ct.'s remand, that was based on mistaken finding that it lacked jurisdiction, rendered remand order not reviewable under 28 USC section 1452(b).
