1Opinion of the Court
GRANT, Senior District Judge.
This case comes to us on appeal from the district court’s dismissal of a declaratory action brought by eleven petroleum corporations (oil companies), 56 B.R. 2420. The oil companies, appellants herein, had regularly exchanged petroleum products with Energy Cooperative, Inc. (ECI), an Indiana oil refinery now in bankruptcy. In their complaint they sought a declaration that, inter alia, the Member-Owners of ECI were the alter ego of ECI. The district court dismissed the oil companies’ suit for lack of standing. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm that holding.
