172995P.pdf   09/06/2018  Robert Sears  v.  Rhett Sears
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-2995
   Appeal from the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Eighth Circuit   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Beam, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Civil case - Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. The case is, at a minimum, 
   "related to" a case under Title 11, and the bankruptcy court had subject 
   matter jurisdiction; the bankruptcy court invoked jurisdiction based on 28 
   U.S.C. Sec. 1334, and the "well-pleaded complaint rule" regarding removal 
   does not apply; plaintiffs impliedly consented to the bankruptcy court's 
   entry of the dismissal order; because plaintiffs in this case allege only 
   injuries that are derivative of debtor AFY, the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel 
   correctly determined that the shareholder standing rule bars plaintiffs' 
   claims.
