176028P.pdf   07/09/2018  Michael McDougall  v.  Ag Country Farm Credit Service
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-6028
   U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of North Dakota - Fargo   
   [PUBLISHED] [Schermer, Author, with Nail and Dow, Bankruptcy Judges] 
   Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. The McDougalls, defendants in this adversary 
   proceeding, did not bring a counterclaim or cross-claim and could not 
   challenge a judgment in favor of defendant AgCountry and against debtors; 
   they seek only to determine whether they hold title to a parcel of land 
   free of AcCountry's lien, and as they seek nothing from the bankruptcy 
   court on behalf or from the debtors or their estate, the bankruptcy court 
   lacked jurisdiction over the McDougalls' claim regarding the validity of 
   its lien; on remand, the bankruptcy should dismiss the claim.
