Zunshine v. Giddens (In re MF Global Holdings Ltd.)
Citation: 531 F. App'x 179Docket: No. 13-494-bk
Court: Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit; September 25, 2013; Federal Appellate Court
Jill Zunshine, representing herself, appeals the dismissal of her appeal to the district court regarding bankruptcy orders that required claimants against MF Global, Inc. (MFGI) to sign a Declaration and Release to receive distributions on allowed claims. The court assumes familiarity with the case's facts and procedural history. An independent review confirms that the bankruptcy court correctly dismissed Zunshine’s objections to the Declaration and Release, aligning with the district court's thorough reasoning. Zunshine's additional arguments were also found to lack merit. The judgment of the district court is affirmed. The court applies a plenary review standard for district court decisions in bankruptcy cases, reviewing legal conclusions de novo and accepting factual findings unless clearly erroneous.
