United States Eighth Circuit

In an appeal following a bankruptcy court's denial of a motion to require a Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee to show cause why he should not be found in contempt for failing to pay contributions ordered while the debtor's case was in Chapter 11, the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction where: 1) the bankruptcy court's order denying a motion to show cause was not a final appealable order; and 2) the order did not qualify as a collateral order, for purposes of the collateral order doctrine.
