Supreme Court Agrees to Rule on What Is or Is Not a ‘Final, Appealable’ Order

The justices declined to review Davis v. Tyson Prepared Foods Inc., a case that could have said whether passively holding property of the estate violates the automatic stay under Section 362(a). The high court ruled that rejecting an executory trademark license does not bar the licensee from continuing to use the license.
