   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Smith and Bye, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Bankruptcy. The district court did not err in affirming the 
   bankruptcy court's orders consolidating the bankruptcies of the Petters 
   Company and eight of its associated special-purpose entities on the ground 
   the appealing parties - the lenders to the debtors - did not have standing 
   to appeal because they were not persons aggrieved by the consolidation 
   order; claim that the trustee was estopped from asserting this defense 
   rejected. Judge Bye, dissenting.
