Dismissal of a chapter 13 case moots an appeal regarding an allegedly erroneous order directing payment of money.

If the district court is adjudicating a suit with “related to” jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1334(b), the district court applies the Bankruptcy Rules, not the Federal Rules, the First Circuit says.

First Circuit won’t allow a debtor to dismiss and avoid the consequences of abusive conduct.

The value of a disputed claim is proven by showing the likely validity of the claim and the likelihood of recovery, not just by establishing the possible damages.

Perplexing opinion may only apply to the status of assets before bankruptcy.

Sometimes, failure to disclose material facts is not misleading.
