United States Seventh Circuit

District court's affirmation of bankruptcy court's approval of a settlement of adversary litigation is affirmed over a creditor's arguments that: 1) the bankruptcy court clearly erred in determining the value of the settlement to the estate; 2) the bankruptcy court miscalculated the range of litigation outcomes; and 3) the court did not make an independent evaluation of the settlement.
