• “[T]he dismissal of an adversary proceeding is an appealable final order even though' the bankruptcy case continues.”

• “[I]n a case in which the lesser- included offense has fewer elements and is the less serious offense, vacating the sentence for the graver offense would be an abuse of discretion.”
