Charlie Hinduja, Varsha D. Hinduja v. Arco Products Co.

FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judge:

Charlie Hinduja and Varsha Hinduja appeal the district court’s order dismissing their complaint against ARCO Products Company and others. 1 The district court determined that a stipulation, which incorporated the terms of a settlement between the Hindujas and ARCO, had itself been incorporated into and made an order of the bankruptcy court. The district court, therefore, declared that it could not grant relief because “bankruptcy court orders can only be interpreted for meaning, or for a violation of the order, by the court that issued the order.” We reverse.
