United States Eleventh Circuit

Dismissal of plaintiff's claims on the ground of international comity is affirmed over claims that: 1) the district court erroneously concluded that the order of the Korean bankruptcy court that approved the reorganization of plaintiff's Korean parent company did not violate the automatic stay of plaintiff's bankruptcy; 2) the order of the Korean court was not entitled to comity; 3) even if comity was appropriate, the order of the Korean court had no effect on the claims that plaintiff raised against the defendants; and 4) the California bankruptcy court erred when it dismissed the claim for unjust enrichment with prejudice.
