Text: 13 We have jurisdiction over this matter, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §158(d), as a final, appealable order from the district court. [A] decision of the district court on appeal from a bankruptcy judge's final order is not itself final if the decision remands the case to the bankruptcy judge for significant further proceedings. Homa Ltd. v. Stone (In re Commercial Contractors, Inc.), 771 F.2d 1373, 1375 (10th Cir. 1985) (quotation marks and citation omitted). 14 The district court reversed the bankruptcy court, and remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with its opinion. In this case, the district court's decision is final, despite the remand to the bankruptcy court, because the district court left the bankruptcy court with no significant further proceedings to conduct. Id. at 1373. We have recognized the district court's order of remand is not final when the bankruptcy court is required to perform more than a mere ministerial duty or it involves the exercise of considerable judicial discretion.' State Bank of Spring Hill v. Bucyrus Grain Co. (In re Bucyrus Grain Co.), 905 F.2d 1362, 1366 (10th Cir. 1990) (quotation marks and citations omitted). As both parties agree, the bankruptcy court's only task on remand was to order Overland Financial to immediately cure the deficit under its capital maintenance stipulation without considering Overland Financial's defenses.
