076071P.pdf   05/08/2008  Omega Consulting  v.  R. Deryl Edwards, Sr.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-6071
   U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Schermer, Author, with Chief Judge Kressel and
   Mahoney, Bankruptcy Judges]
   Bankruptcy Appellate Panel - payment of unclaimed funds. Bankruptcy
   court did not err in denying request by Omega, as assignee, for payment
   of unclaimed funds from the debtor's Chapter 11 estate under sections
   347(b) and 1143 of Bankruptcy Code, because Omega did not establish a
   right to funds or a chain of title linking Omega to debtor. Omega failed to
   serve notice on United States Attorney as required and failed to meet its
   burden by failing to present the confirmed plan. Furthermore, the plan
   prevented the Omega from recovering the unclaimed funds and Omega
   failed to prove it was an assignee of debtor.
