Stanley v. Crossland (In re Lakeshore Village Resort, Ltd.)
Opinion
Lead Opinion
Wallace, J.
United States Trustee Stanley appeals from the district court’s decision reversing and remanding a bankruptcy court order that had denied an attorneys’ fee award. After determining that 11 U.S.C. § 330 (a) authorized a fee award, the district court remanded for the bankruptcy court to determine the amount. The district court exer-' cised jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 158 (a). Although the United States Trustee timely filed her notice of appeal, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 158 (d) and 1291.
