   Appeal from the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Eighth Circuit   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Beam and Bye, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy Appellate Panel's decision is a
   final, appealable order, and GAF's motion to dismiss is denied; GAF's
   state law tort claims did not invoke a substantive right provided by the
   Bankruptcy Code, and the bankruptcy court did not possess "arising
   under" jurisdiction over GAF's complaint; nor did the court possess
   "arising in" jurisdiction; however, the claims could conceivably have an
   effect on the Farmland bankruptcy estate, and the bankruptcy court did
   have "related to" jurisdiction over the complaint, and the Bankruptcy
   Appellate Panel erred in finding the bankruptcy court lacked jurisdiction.
