Appellant creditors sought review of three orders issued by a U.S. Bankruptcy Court, which: (1) denied their motion to dismiss appellee debtor's individual chapter 11 petition for lack of good faith; (2) limited the creditors'claims against a corporate debtor for past and future rent to the amount provided by 11 U.S.C. § 502(b)(6); and (3) authorized an interim distribution to the individual debtor. The issues were consolidated for review.
