How courts have described this case

• dismissing appeal of debtor’s wife from order reopening the case to allow action against her as a fraudulent transferee
• “Standing is not demonstrated if the only interest in a bankruptcy court’s order is an interest as a potential defendant in an adversary proceeding”
• Standing to appeal is based on the “person aggrieved test,” and only an entity who can “demonstrate that the order diminished its property, increased its burdens or detrimentally affected its rights” has standing to appeal.
• debtor’s spouse had no standing to oppose trustee’s motion to reopen bankruptcy case to file fraudulent transfer action against wife as transferee, because her property rights would be unaffected
• same situation, i.e., wife of debtor and fraudulent transfer complaint
