28 U.S.C. § 158(a) on an appeal from a bankruptcy judge’s decision is binding thereafter on all of the bankruptcy judges of the same district. It is a difficult one. The text of the statute, 28 U.S.C. § 158, is utterly silent on the issue. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has not spoken to the issue. As the Eleventh Circuit observed several years ago, neither the United States Supreme Court nor any of the Courts of Appeal have ruled on the issue. In re Hillsborough Holdings Corp., 127 F.3d, 1398, 1403 n. 3 (11th Cir.1997). The pubbshed case law is of limited utihty; there is quite a split on the question among the courts below the circuit level. Id. At least one judge of a district court has ruled on each side of the issue. In re KAR Dev. Assocs., LP, 180 B.R. 629, 640 (D.Kan.1995) (<HOLDING>); Bryant v. Smith, 165 B.R. 176, 180-181
