                                    (July 28, 2005)
Before BLACK, PRYOR and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Toys “R” Us, Inc., Moose Mountain Toymakers, Ltd., and Moose Mountain

Marketing, Inc. (“Moose Mountain”) appeal the order of the district court affirming

the judgment of the bankruptcy court in three related appeals (that we have

consolidated) on the ground that the bankruptcy court erred in dismissing their

counterclaim and cross-claim for lack of standing to challenge the terms of the Asset

Purchase Agreement. Because we agree with the district court that Moose Mountain

lacked standing to challenge the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement in the

adversary proceeding before the bankruptcy court, see In Re Westwood Cmty. Two

Ass’n, 293 F.3d 1332, 1334-35 (11th Cir. 2002), the order affirming the judgment of

the bankruptcy court is,

      AFFIRMED.
