Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
COFFEY, Circuit Judge.
The debtor-appellant, FedPak Systems, Inc. (“FedPak”), challenges the district court’s decision to vacate an order of the bankruptcy court for lack of jurisdiction. We hold that because FedPak did not have standing to seek the order, the bankruptcy court lacked jurisdiction as a matter of constitutional law. Additionally, we hold that the proceeding initiated by FedPak fell outside the scope of the bankruptcy court’s statutory jurisdiction under Title 28 U.S.C. §§ 157(a) and 1334(b). The decision of the district court is affirmed.
