United States Fourth Circuit

Where a debtor's Chapter 11 plan of reorganization has been approved and substantially consummated, and reversal of the confirmation order would require the undoing of financial transactions involving third parties and create an unmanageable situation for the bankruptcy court, a creditor's delayed attempt to appeal the confirmation order may be deemed equitably moot.
