No. 87-1768.

840 F.2d 487 (1988)

In the Matter of AMERICAN RESERVE CORPORATION, Debtor. Appeal of Clear and Doris Elaine HUDDLESTON.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided February 18, 1988.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John G. Jacobs, Plotkin & Jacobs, Ltd., Chicago, Ill., Richard A. Kirby, Washington, D.C., for appellant.

Leslie D. Locke, Ross & Hardies, Chicago, Ill., for appellee.

Before POSNER and EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judges, and GRANT, Senior District Judge.

EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge.

This interlocutory appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) presents the question whether a person may file a proof of claim as representative of others similarly situated in a bankruptcy case. The bankruptcy judge answered yes, the district judge no. 71 B.R. 32 (N.D.Ill.1987). We conclude that class actions may exist within as well as outside bankruptcy, and so reverse the district court's order.
