United States Sixth Circuit

Appeal of a district court reversal of a bankruptcy court grant of summary judgment on creditor's complaint for denial of discharge is dismissed where a decision by the district court on appeal remanding the bankruptcy court's decision for further proceedings in the bankruptcy court is not final and appealable unless the further proceedings contemplated are of a purely ministerial character, and the remand for a trial here was not of a purely ministerial character.
