• noting that “the Barton doctrine is jurisdictional in nature”
• refusing to recognize a general tort exception to the Barton doctrine
• before suing a bankruptcy trustee in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma, plaintiff was required to obtain permission from the bankruptcy court of that district
• “We now hold that Barton precludes suit against a bankruptcy trustee for claims based on alleged misconduct in the discharge of a trustee’s official duties absent approval from the appointing bankruptcy court.”
• “Regardless of the manner in which a plaintiff denominates his claim, courts applying the Barton doctrine must look to the substantive allegation to determine whether a claim is related to the trustee’s bankruptcy duties”
• claims were subject to dismissal pursuant to the Barton doctrine because neither Barton exception was applicable to this case and it is “undisputed that [p]laintiff did not obtain leave from the bankruptcy court before filing suit”
