• explaining that this is “an ailment surely afflicting most every statutory interpretation question in our adversarial legal system”
• finding jurisdiction to review a district court’s affirmance of a bankruptcy court’s nonfinal order, where the bankruptcy court confirmed a plan while the appeal was pending
• finding Hinton’s test satisfied “where, as here, the appealed order from the district court . . . resolves the only outstanding issue in what has, by the time it reaches us, become an otherwise completed bankruptcy proceeding”
• “§ 1322(b)(2) itself prohibits modification of the rights of the ‘holder of a secured claim’ supported by a lien on the debtor’s home.”
• “[A]t least absent any indication of potential prejudice, a premature notice of appeal involving a bankruptcy matter, even one (like this one) with an interstitial stop in the district court, ripens and become effective once a final order approving a plan of reorganization is entered.”
