   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-6017
   U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville   
   [PUBLISHED] [Saladino, Chief Judge, Author, with Shodeen and Sanberg, 
   Bankruptcy Judges] 
   Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. In action by the trustee seeking damages 
   against a variety of defendants for their conduct before and during 
   debtors' Chapter 11 proceeding, including allegations that the defendants 
   concealed agreements and manipulated auction bids in order to deprive the 
   bankruptcy estate of more than $107 million, the finality of the auction 
   sale, along with statutory provisions and procedural rules, effectively 
   defeats the claims; the bankruptcy court's Sale Order's findings regarding 
   proper notice, lack of collusion, good faith, fair dealing and reasonable 
   consideration were all necessary and integral to the court's approval of 
   the sale.
