Harvey Lawrence Burkett v. Shell Oil Company
Harvey Lawrence BURKETT, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. SHELL OIL COMPANY, Defendant-Appellee
Opinion
PER CURIAM:
The district court granted appellee’s motion for summary judgment, holding Burkett did not have standing to sue Shell on his own behalf for an antitrust violation alleged to have arisen prior to his filing for bankruptcy. The court found this cause of action to belong to the trustee in bankruptcy, not to Burkett personally. We affirm. Fazakerly v. E. Kahn’s Sons Co., 5th Cir. 1935, 75 F.2d 110 .

. Appellant’s brief to this Court raises two additional issues:
“Whether appellant should be allowed time to substitute the trustee as proper party plaintiff in this litigation and “whether the bankruptcy should be re- opened and the bankruptcy court should be directed to claim or disclaim this cause of action and order either the Trustee or the Bankrupt or both to proceed with this action.” It appears from appellant’s brief and the record from the district court that both of these questions are presently pending before the district court as motions. Neither issue is, therefore, properly before this Court.
