Supreme Court of the United States

Ritzen Group, Inc., Petitioner v. Jackson Masonry, LLC

January 14, 2020140 S. Ct. 582

Summary

The Court held that a bankruptcy court’s order denying a creditor’s motion for relief from the automatic stay is a final, appealable decision under 28 U.S.C. §158(a). Because the order is final, the appeal must be filed within 14 days, and Ritzen’s appeal was untimely, so the lower courts’ dismissal was affirmed.
