United States Seventh Circuit

District court's affirmance of the bankruptcy judge's denial of petitioner's motion to require the trustee to pay his claim, arising from the involuntary bankruptcy of the law firm, Altheimer & Gray, is affirmed, as the reorganization plan under Chapter 11 subordinated partners' claim to those of other creditors, and here, petitioner is a non-unit partner under the plan.
