United States Eighth Circuit

In a Chapter 7 trustee's action to avoid certain transfers that debtor made to his wife, the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel's (BAP) order affirming a stipulated judgment entered by the bankruptcy court, holding that the BAP must defer to the district court's original determination that the cause of action was not time-barred and, pursuant to the law of the case doctrine, declining to revisit the issue, is affirmed where the plain language of 11 U.S.C. section 546 set the statute of limitations period as a full two years, which did not render the claim untimely.
