Questions presented

  1. In a case originating under 11 U.S.C. chapter 11, § 1101- 1193, does a U.S. district court sitting in its capacity under 28 U.S.C. § 158 (a) have discretion to sua sponte designate the United States trustee “appellee” when the UST was not joined as a party in the court below, nor joined by motion or proceeding thereafter?

  2. Is there any reason — aside from such as may constrain any debtor under 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532 — that a self-represented party cannot or should not serve as a debtor in possession in an individual chapter 11, with the responsibilities and powers imbued by 11 U.S.C.§ 1107 (a) ?
