MEMORANDUM OPINION

GRADY, District Judge.

This case is before the court on an appeal by International Harvester Company (“Harvester”) from an order of Bankruptcy Judge Charles B. McCormick denying Harvester’s motion to disqualify him and counsel for the debtors in possession from further participation in this proceeding. The basis for the disqualification and other relief sought by Harvester is that two judicial opinions in the case purporting to have been written by Judge McCormick were in fact written by the attorneys for the debtors in possession, without the knowledge of Harvester.
