   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-6005
   U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kressel, Author, with Saladino and Nail, Bankruptcy Judges]
   Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. Bankruptcy court did not err in finding
   three payments creditor received in the 90-day preference period
   preceding debtor's chapter 11 filing were preferential payments under 11
   U.S.C. Sec. 547(b) and thus subject to avoidance by the trustee;
   bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion by extending the time for
   service of process, as Rule 9006 provided the court with such authority;
   statute of limitations argument rejected.
