Heading: The December 2, 2009 good faith settlement determination was included in the record on appeal

Text: The ICA concluded that it could not review the good faith settlement determination made by the bankruptcy court because the determination was not in the record on appeal. Contrary to the ICA's assertion, the good faith settlement determination was transmitted from the bankruptcy court to the circuit court on December 31, 2009, and was integrated into the circuit court's record. Accordingly, the good faith settlement determination was part of the ROA when the record was transmitted to the ICA on February 22, 2010. Therefore, the ICA erred in concluding that it lacked jurisdiction over Buffington and Integrity's appeal because the December 2, 2009 good faith settlement order was not in the record on appeal.
