United States Third Circuit

Where a bankruptcy court disapproves a settlement between the former bankruptcy trustee and another party on the grounds that the debtor has not waived its objection to the settlement and the bankruptcy case no longer exists, such grounds are insufficient under In re Martin, 91 F.3d 389 (3d Cir. 1996), and cannot support the approval or disapproval of a settlement.
