United States Eighth Circuit

In a bankruptcy case involving the allocation of settlement proceeds from a lawsuit between former partners of a failed joint venture, a decision adverse to a bankruptcy trustee is affirmed over claims that the BAP exceeded its scope of review by making findings of fact not found by the bankruptcy court and erred in its conclusions of law regarding an individual's entitlement to the settlement proceeds.
