Brown Commercial Construction Co. v. Corbin Park, L.P. (In Re Corbin Park, L.P.)

CORNISH, Chief Judge.

Two general contractors and four subcontractors appeal the bankruptcy court’s order determining that, under Kansas law, the interest of a construction lender/mortgagee in a retail shopping center development has priority over their mechanic’s lien claims. Having thoroughly reviewed the record and applicable law, we conclude that the bankruptcy court committed no reversible error in determining the priority of interests between these claimants. Therefore, we must affirm the bankruptcy court’s order.
