In re La'Teacha Tigue, 363 B.R. 67 (8th Cir. BAP Apr. 5, 2007) (Debtor's appeal of the settlement agreement between the mortgage lender and the trustee was not equitably moot, however, where portions of the settlement agreement involving payment of fees and insurance proceeds could be unwound to return parties to the earlier status quo.)
In re UAL Corp., 468 F.3d 456 (7th Cir. Oct. 25, 2006) (Retired pilots' assertion that bankruptcy court erred in approving Chapter 11 plan of reorganization that treated their claims differently than the claims of active pilots was made too late because the reorganization had already been carried into effect without the retired pilots seeking a stay. Moreover, the different treatment of the two groups of pilots was justified by the differences in the claims and circumstances of the two groups. The district court erred in holding that the retired pilots' appeal was "unripe." There is no doctrine of appellate "ripeness.")

After the court entered an order granting the sanctions motion, debtor filed a notice of appeal of the summary judgment motion, but the notice was filed more than ten days after the minute entry. The minute entry was not an order triggering the ten-day window in which to file a notice of appeal because it did not include dispositive language sufficient to put debtor on notice that his entire action was over and the next step was to appeal.)
Wiersma v. Bank of the West (In re Wiersma), 483 F.3d 933 (9th Cir. Apr. 6, 2007) (Debtors' appeal to Bankruptcy Appellate Panel was properly dismissed for lack of jurisdiction even though the notice of appeal was
