How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that dismissal of bankruptcy case mooted dispute about the operation of Bankruptcy Code section 365(d)(4)
  • holding a bankruptcy court cannot approve a structured dismissal that provides for distributions that do not follow ordinary priority rules without the affected creditors’ consent
  • stating that § 349 “provides for what is, in effect, a restoration of the prepetition financial status quo”
  • explaining that “courts cannot deviate from the procedures specified by the Code, even when they sincerely believe that creditors would be better off” (cleaned up)
  • noting that dismissal of a Chapter 11 case \aims to return to the prepetition financial status quo\
  • holding that the Bankruptcy Code does not permit structured heart of the Bankruptcy Court’s § 363(b) authorization, so § 363(m) prevents us from disrupting them on appeal. 48 dismissals, which deviate from the absolute priority rule and “circumvent the Code’s procedural safeguards”
