15bk32968
Upon the adversary defendants’ motion for leave to file counterclaims against the liquidating trustee, held: The Barton doctrine, which requires a party to seek leave to file claims against a trustee in a bankruptcy case, is inapplicable when the claims are brought in an adversary proceeding in the appointing court. Therefore, the motion for leave to file counterclaims is DENIED as unnecessary.
