Text: The issue in this case is whether the bankruptcy court erred in determining that it lacked jurisdiction of a motion to enforce an injunction. A determination regarding jurisdiction is a question of law reviewed de novo. Nichols v. Muskingum College, 318 F.3d 674, 677 (6th Cir. 2003) (citing Joelson v. United States, 86 F.3d 1413, 1416 (6th Cir. 1996)). Any factual findings underlying the decision are reviewed for clear error. Id. (citing Jones v. City of Lakeland, 175 F.3d 410, 413 (6th Cir. 1999)). The order on appeal is final and may, therefore, be appealed as of right. 28 U.S.C. § 158(a)(1). The United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio has authorized appeals to the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel, and none of the parties has timely elected to have this appeal heard by the district court. 28 U.S.C. §§ 158(b)(6), (c)(1). Accordingly, the panel has jurisdiction to decide this appeal.
