In Re Ceda Mills, Inc.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit July 18, 2011

In Re Ceda Mills, Inc., 652 F.3d 495 (3d Cir. 2011)

2011 U.S. App. LEXIS 14812; 2011 WL 2848621

Opinion

JUDGMENT ORDER

MARJORIE O. RENDELL, Circuit Judge.

This is an appeal from the District Court’s order dismissing as untimely an appeal taken from an order of the Bankruptcy Court dated April 13, 2010: (a) adopting the recommendation of the United States Trustee and overruling the Debtor’s response in opposition, and (b) directing the Debtor to remit surplus funds to minority shareholders. (App 9-10) (“Order”).

We find that the matters decided in the Order had not previously been decided by the Bankruptcy Court, and conclude, therefore, that the appeal from the Order was timely.

Accordingly, we vacate the District Court’s order dismissing the appeal from the Order, and remand for the District Court to consider the merits of the appeal.
