Text: The first issue on appeal is whether the bankruptcy court order reopening bidding and the order approving a compromise establishing procedures for the final auction are interlocutory. We conclude that the orders are interlocutory; however, we choose to exercise our discretion to review the interlocutory orders. The second issue on appeal is whether the bankruptcy court abused its discretion in reopening the bidding and approving the compromise. Included within this issue is whether the bankruptcy court erred when it found that the holder of a right of first refusal had not received notice of the proposed sale. We conclude that the bankruptcy court did not err in finding that the holder of the right of first refusal had not received notice of the sale nor did it abuse its discretion in reopening the bidding or in approving the compromise. 1 The Honorable Jerry W. Venters, United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Western District of Missouri. 2
