Following Bullard v. Blue Hill Bank (2015) 135 S.Ct. 1686, this decision holds that when a district court vacates a bankruptcy court order confirming a bankruptcy plan and remands for further proceedings, there is no final order sufficient to confer jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 158(d). The parties may seek leave to appeal under 28 USC 158(d) or 1292(b) from such an order if it raises an important question of law.
