MEMORANDUM *

After Captain Blythers, Inc. (“CBI”) defaulted on its confirmed Chapter 11 reorganization plan, the bankruptcy court converted the Chapter 11 proceeding to a Chapter 7 proceeding. The trustee then *709 sought a declaration from the bankruptcy court that an adversary proceeding commenced by CBI against its landlord belonged to the Chapter 7 bankruptcy estate. The bankruptcy court granted summary judgment in favor of the trustee and the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (“BAP”) upheld that decision. Captain Blythers, Inc. v.
