Text: The bankruptcy court issued an order disposing of Mr. Lilley's Chapter 13 petition and the IRS's various challenges to it on May 3, 1995. The IRS filed an appeal of the court's order, over which the district court had jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 158(a). The district court issued its final order in the case on August 22, 1995. We have jurisdiction over Mr. Lilley's appeal from the district court's order pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1291. The issue presented on appeal is a question of law. Therefore, we exercise plenary review over the decision of the district court. In re Cohn, 54 F.3d 1108, 1113 (3d Cir. 1995).
