In re Klingberg Schools

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit
Jan 13, 1988
837 F.2d 763 (7th Cir. 1988)

Opinion

No. 86-3100.

Argued October 26, 1987.

Decided January 13, 1988.

Appeal from Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division; Marvin E. Aspen, District Judge.

Karen Rosenwinkel, Chicago, Ill., for defendant-appellant.

John L. Gubbins, John L. Gubbins Assoc., Ltd., Chicago, Ill., for plaintiff-appellee.

Before BAUER, Chief Judge, WOOD and MANION, Circuit Judges.


We agree with the district court that "the defendant improperly asserted a setoff, and not a recoupment, in violation of the automatic stay provision of 11 U.S.C. § 362." In re Klingberg Schools, 68 B.R. 173, 180 (N.D.Ill. 1986).

Defendant no longer opposes debtor's night care services claim. Therefore, the issues discussed by the district court in the section captioned "Sovereign Immunity." Which begins at 68 B.R. 176 and continues through the bottom of 68 B.R. 177, are now moot. We accordingly do not reach those issues, but otherwise adopt the district court's opinion. In re Klingberg Schools, 68 B.R. 173 (N.D.Ill. 1986).

The district court's order is

AFFIRMED.
