3) determined court could require innocent investors to disgorge net profits; and
4) declined to permit good faith investors to claim offsets for expenses.
GE Capital v. Future Media, 07-55694 [July 3, 2008]
Bankruptcy court's order denying default interest and attorney's fees to a creditor is reversed and remanded where the appellate court found that
1) the bankruptcy court had improperly applied In re Entz-White Lumber and Supply, 850 F.2d 1338 (cir 9, 1988); and
2) the default rate is presumptively valid unless its application would violate non-bankruptcy law.

In Re: Donovan, 07-13046 [July 2, 2008]
The circuit court lacks jurisdiction to review a bankruptcy court's order denying an unsecured creditor's motion to dismiss a Chapter 7 case when the bankruptcy court neither conclusively resolved the bankruptcy case as a whole nor resolved any adversary proceeding or claim.
