Fifth Circuit ruled that it lacked jurisdiction to review bankruptcy court order because bankruptcy court's order did not end the litigation over the allowance of creditors' claims and thus was not a final, appealable order. Bankruptcy court planned to hold hearing to determine claims' validity and allowed amount, if any. Fifth Circuit remanded to District Court to dismiss appeal.
