Bullard v. Blue Hills Bank

Debtor Louis Bullard filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy to address a debt owed to Blue Hills Bank (creditor), and the bankruptcy court rejected his proposed repayment plan while allowing him to submit a revised one. Bullard appealed that rejection; the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel affirmed while noting the ruling wasn't final, and the First Circuit dismissed his further appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the bankruptcy court's ruling wasn't a final judgment; the Supreme Court granted certiorari.
