Marshall J. Kagan on brief pro se. ____________________ September 27, 2000 ____________________ Per Curiam. In this latest chapter of the long- running saga of the El San Juan Hotel's bankruptcy proceedings, we are faced with an appeal by Rodrigo Otero Bigles, the attorney for the hotel's Chapter 7 trustee, from the opinion of the United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the First Circuit disallowing the award of attorneys' fees to Otero based on a conflict of interest.1 Having carefully reviewed the submissions of the parties before this Court, we affirm for the reasons stated in the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel's well-reasoned decision. As we have noted repeatedly, "[W]hen a lower court produces a comprehensive, well-reasoned decision, an appellate court should refrain from writing at length to no other end than to hear its own words resonate." Sunview Condominium Assoc. v. Flexel Int'l, Ltd., 116 F.3d 962, 965 (1st Cir. 1997) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). This is such a case.

Affirmed. Costs to appellee.

The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel's order also removed Hans Lopez Stubbe as Chapter 7 trustee and remanded the case to the bankruptcy court for a recalculation of the proper measure of Lopez's compensation. Lopez has since settled his differences with the bankruptcy estate and has not participated in this appeal.
