JANE B. STRANCH, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
Governing case law obligates us to protect this court’s future appellate jurisdic*518tion and ensure that a district court stay order does not deprive a party to bankruptcy litigation of a meaningful opportunity for appellate review of a bankruptcy court decision. I concur to emphasize that our decision is distinct from the facts alleged or the merits argued by the parties; this grant is to assure preservation of orderly appellate review. Our decision, moreover, assures the availability of appellate review so that the entire process— ongoing in the bankruptcy, district, and appellate courts and in court-ordered mediation — may continue toward a fruitful conclusion.
