- Ruling:
- Where the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, an order denying a Motion to Enforce Order Approving Compromise of Claims is appropriate.
- Procedural context:
- Appeal form the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio at Akron.
- Facts:
- Appellants sought to stop state court litigation by the Appellees from continuing based on an agreement entered into by Appellants and the Chapter 7 Trustee to compromise the estate's claims against Appellants.
The Court found it lacked jurisdiction to find in favor of the Appellants for several reasons: the Appellees were not part of the compromise reached between the Appellants and the Chapter 7 Trustee, the Debtor was a corporation, Appellants litigation was instituted prior to the bankruptcy filings. Therefore, based on Stern v Marshall, the Court lacked jurisdiction.
- Judge(s):
- Harrison, Humphrey, Lloyd.
