-2-
Bryan Reichel accuses the former United States Trustee of improperly seizing
assets and allowing fraudulent claims in his now-closed bankruptcy case. The
Bankruptcy Appellate Panel affirmed the bankruptcy court’s1 denial of various
motions and its decision not to reopen the case. Having carefully reviewed the
record and the arguments on appeal, we affirm the judgment.2 See, e.g., 11 U.S.C.
§ 101(5)(A) (providing that a “right to payment” need not be “reduced to judgment”
or “undisputed” to count as a “claim”); Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3001(c)(2)(D)(ii)
(authorizing the bankruptcy court to determine “appropriate relief” when a proof of
claim lacks supporting information).
______________________________
1 The Honorable Katherine A. Constantine, Chief Judge, United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota.
2 We also deny the pending motion for oral argument.
