Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William McGrane, Shiver, McGrane & Martin, San Francisco, Cal., for Teerlink Ranch Ltd.

Dennis D. Davis, Goldberg, Stinnett & MacDonald, San Francisco, Cal., for Heber and Erma Teerlink.

Bernard Greenfield, Levy, Greenfield & Davidoff, San Jose, Cal., for Gerard & Lambert, Inc.

Before BRUNETTI and NOONAN, Circuit Judges, and HUPP, District Judge.


NOONAN, Circuit Judge:

This case consolidating two appeals arising from a dispute between a developer and a seller of real estate involves the relationship between a bankruptcy court and a district court and the rules and principles governing bankruptcy. We hold that the powers conferred on a trustee or debtor in possession by 11 U.S.C. § 544 are not so extraordinary that a Chapter 11 debtor can load its debts on its neighbor. We affirm the district court.
