036098P.pdf   06/24/2004  Duane Yates  v.  Wil L. Forker
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-6098
                          and No:  04-6007
   Northern District of Iowa   
   Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. Failure to brief an issue concerning the 
   bankruptcy court's approval of the trustee's attorney constitutes an 
   abandonment of the issue; Yates lacked standing to appeal order 
   compromising claim as he has not shown a reasonable probability of a 
   surplus after debtor satisfies all priority and general unsecured claims.
