Case Explained: In re PARKS DIVERSIFIED, L.P. DEBTOR TALON DIVERSIFIED HOLDINGS INC.; NORTH VALLEY MALL II

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Filed: 2026-07-23 Docket: 8:24-cv-00227-SVW The ninth-circuit dismissed the appeal filed by defendants Klein, Kimura London and White LLP, and Becker regarding the district court’s order remanding claims to state court for lack of appellate jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d), which prohibits review of orders remanding cases to state courts based on procedural defects or lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. The court affirmed the district court’s judgment that the bankruptcy court possessed subject-matter jurisdiction over “core” bankruptcy claims and ancillary jurisdiction over related claims pursuant to a stipulation retaining jurisdiction, and further affirmed the imposition of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 sanctions against the appellants for filing a frivolous motion for rehearing. The practical consequence is that the case is remanded to the district court with instructions to carry out the order directing the bankruptcy court to remand the specific claims to state court, while the jurisdictional and sanctions rulings stand.
