OPINION OF THE COURT
ALITO, Circuit Judge.
In this bankruptcy appeal, Debtor-Appellant Manuel Kaplan contests an order allowing First Options of Chicago’s proof of claim. Kaplan argues that we should reverse the order allowing the claim because First Options materially breached the contracts under which the claim arose. Concluding that First Options did not breach the parties’ contracts, the bankruptcy and district courts allowed the claim. For the reasons stated below, we reverse and remand.
