ORDER
Appellant and putative judgment creditor Monika Bernárdez, an infant, by her mother and natural guardian, Lesbia Ber-nárdez (herein after, “Bernárdez”), appeals two Orders of the Bankruptcy Court (Milton, J.), one dated December 11, 2007 expunging her proof of claim for personal injury liability against Chapter 11 Debtor Jadwiga H. Pawlowski, and a second dated March 6, 2008 confirming the Debtor’s bankruptcy reorganization plan (the “Plan”). The two appeals having been consolidated before this Court, Pawlowski cross-moves to dismiss both as equitably moot, citing the substantial consummation of the bankruptcy estate’s reorganization Plan; the prejudice to the debtor and to other creditors in unwinding the Plan; and Bernardez’s failure to take all reasonable steps to appeal and/or stay subsequent Bankruptcy Court action. For the reasons below, the Court agrees with the Debtor’s position, and Bernardez’s appeals are dismissed as equitably moot.
PROCEDURAL HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
In or about 2002, Bernárdez, on her infant daughter’s behalf, sued Pawlowski in New York State Court seeking damages for lead paint poisoning injuries. The personal injury Complaint asserted claims against Pawlowski only in her capacity as executrix of the Sadlowska estate (the “Estate”), which owned shares in 2328 University Avenue Corporation, the single-asset corporate owner of the Bronx, New York apartment building where the infant Bernárdez resided.
Upon a trial on the merits, a Bronx, New York jury returned a verdict against Pawlowski for $1,240,000 in compensatory damages and an additional $400,000 in punitive damages. On March 28, 2007, subsequent to the jury’s verdict, but prior to any post-verdict motions and the State Court’s entry of final judgment (a procedure precluded by the Bankruptcy Code’s automatic stay requirements), Pawlowski voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
On July 23, 2007, Bernárdez timely filed her proof of claim,1 asserting a general unsecured claim against Pawlowski in the amount of $1,640,000. On August 16, 2007, Bernárdez sought relief from the automatic stay, which motion was denied by the Bankruptcy Court’s Order dated, November 1, 2007. Bernárdez did not appeal that Order.
Thereafter, on November 8, 2007, Paw-lowski moved, inter alia, to expunge and disallow Bernardez’s proof of claim. That motion was granted December 11, 2007 (the “Expungement Order”). On December 20, 2007, Bernárdez filed the instant appeal of the Expungement Order (No. 08-CV-0366). Although Bernárdez properly served Pawlowski with her Notice of Appeal, she failed to serve any of the bankruptcy creditors potentially impacted by such appeal. Moreover, Bernárdez did not seek to stay enforcement of the Bankruptcy Court’s Expungement Order pending appeal.
On January 2, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court moved forward with reorganization. On that date, Pawlowski filed and served her Disclosure Statement and proposed *548Plan of Reorganization, which filing was amended on January 22, 2008. On January 25, 2008, Bernárdez objected to the proposed reorganization plan and simultaneously sought to vacate the Bankruptcy Court’s prior Expungement Order.
On February 8, 2008, Pawlowski responded with an Amended Disclosure Statement, which argued, in relevant part, that the proposed plan should be confirmed over Bernardez’s objections, given Bernardez’s failure to seek a stay. Notwithstanding Bernardez’s counsel’s documented and uneontroverted failure to timely seek a stay of the plan confirmation prior to the issuance of the February 8, 2008 Amended Disclosure Statement, it did not thereafter interpose a formal motion to stay the anticipated plan confirmation hearing. Thus, in the absence of a stay motion, a plan confirmation hearing was scheduled for and held on March 6, 2008.
The March 6, 2008 confirmation hearing again highlighted the progression of the confirmation process in the absence of a stay application. To wit, Debtor’s counsel made the following record in further support of confirmation:
For the record, Ms. Bernardez’s counsel has conceded time and time again that he has not applied for a stay in the bankruptcy proceedings ... pending her appeal.... There has been significant time for Ms. Bernárdez to file for a stay of these proceedings, and they have not.... Although there is an appeal pending [08-CV-0366], there has been no stay pending that appeal, as Ms. Ber-nardez’s counsel has admitted in the papers.
08-CV-1213 Record on Appeal (hereinafter, “R.”) 20.32-33.
The Bankruptcy Court then considered Bernardez’s objection to plan confirmation, and made clear its basis for proceeding to confirm the proposed plan over such objection. First, the Bankruptcy Court clarified that, contrary to Bernardez’s assumptions, its decision to disallow and expunge Bernardez’s claim was premised upon full and careful consideration of the merits of her claim, and not upon mere technical default.2 Accordingly, the Court concluded that despite ample process, her claim was without merit. Second, the Court noted that the proposed plan fully resolved all surviving claims, including as to the follow*549ing creditors: (1) JP Morgan Chase, (2) Bank of America NA, (3) Household Bank (SB), N.A., (4) American Express Centurion Bank, (5) Bank of America, and (6) the Internal Revenue Service. The Court further determined that the interests of these creditors mitigated in favor of expedient plan confirmation.
Next, the Bankruptcy Court considered but rejected Bernardez’s oral motion for a stay, stating: “I’m not going to hold in abeyance a ruling on confirmation of the Plan, because there is a matter regarding one claim on appeal.” R. 20.34. The Bankruptcy Court further stated:
.... Counsel, if he so chooses to file an appeal from this order [the plan confirmation order], can at that time, pursuant to Rule 8005, file an application with this Court. And I think that would be the appropriate vehicle to pursue an application for a stay pending appeal.
And specifically, Mr. Gitten [Bernardez’s counsel], I would look to the language of Rule 8005, which provides that the bankruptcy judge may suspend or order the continuation of other proceedings in the case under the Code, which I have just done. I continued other proceedings, such as this confirmation hearing, and this is the phrase I had in mind: ‘make any other appropriate order during the pendency of appeal on such terms as will protect the rights of all parties-in-interest.’
In addition to all the relevant factors that the Court considers in determination of a stay pending appeal, I think, absent a specific presentation as to what steps or provisions you would request this Court to make to protect the rights of all parties-in-interest pending an appeal, that such an application in this instance would be denied.
R. 20.36-37.
At the conclusion of the March 6, 2008 hearing, the Bankruptcy Court thus confirmed the proposed plan. The Court’s March 6, 2008 Confirmation Order stated, in relevant part:
Upon making all payments contemplated by the Plan, in accordance with Article X of the Plan, and except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in this Order, entry of this Order acts as a discharge of and injunction against all Causes of Action against the Debtor or its Estate that arose before the Effective Date to the extent permitted by section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code.
R. 11.
Bernárdez appealed the Bankruptcy Court’s Confirmation Order to this Court on March 14, 2008. That appeal is also pending before this Court (No. 08-CV-1213) and, together with the appeal of the Bankruptcy Court’s Expungement Order (No. 08-CV-0366), is addressed herein.
Thereafter, on March 24, 2008, Bernar-dez’s counsel moved the Bankruptcy Court to stay effectuation of the Plan pending determination of the instant appeals. On April 18, 2008, after additional briefing, a hearing on the application to stay Plan consummation was held. On April 24, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court denied the stay application on the merits. Bernárdez did not appeal that decision, nor did Ber-nárdez pursue further relief, which relief could have — but did not — include an appeal from March 24, 2008 stay denial to this Court, and, if necessary, appellate mandamus relief from the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. See, e.g., In re Pub. Svc. Co. of New Hampshire, 963 F.2d 469, 472 (1st Cir.1992). Pawlowski, relying upon the Confirmation Order and section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, refinanced her home, distributed the proceeds of that refinanc*550ing to her allowed creditors, and obtained a discharge from liabilities.
DISCUSSION
Upon careful consideration of the record and for the reasons set forth below, this Court agrees that, despite fair notice and opportunity, Bernárdez has failed to take all appropriate measures to preserve and advance her potentially meritorious claim in the manner anticipated and proscribed in the Bankruptcy Code and its attendant case law. Bernardez’s failure to invoke the procedural tools necessary to stop or slow consummation of the bankruptcy process has permitted full consummation of the bankruptcy Plan and has occasioned&emdash;• by the fault of no other party&emdash;a scenario by which the grant of equitable relief to Plaintiff would require its preclusion to all others in this matter. As such, this Court finds Plaintiffs respective appeals, 08-CV-366 and 08-CV-1213, equitably moot.
I.
EQUITABLE MOOTNESS
[1,2] The jurisprudential doctrine of equitable mootness holds that “an appeal should ... be dismissed as moot when, even though effective relief could conceivably be fashioned, implementation of that relief would be inequitable.” Official Comm. of Unsecured Creditors of LTV Aerospace & Def. Co., v. Official Comm. of Unsecured Creditors of LTV Steel Co., 988 F.2d 322, 325 (2d Cir.1993). In sum, “equitable mootness does not involve a court’s inability to alter the outcome by fashioning relief, but rather, a court’s unwillingness to do so.’ ” In re Box Bros. Holding Co., 194 B.R. 32, 39 (Bankr.D.Del.1996) (quoting In re UNR Indus., 20 F.3d 766, 769 (7th Cir.1994) (Easterbrook, J.)).
Pursuant to the Second Circuit’s formulation in the seminal case In re Cha-teaugay Corp., 10 F.3d 944, 952 (2d Cir. 1993) (see also, In re Chateaugay Corp., 94 F.3d 772, 776 (2d Cir.1996)), courts must assess whether prudence and equity militate against reaching the merits of a bankruptcy appeal. In so doing, courts consider the potential effect to all creditors where distributions have been made, thus resulting in the substantial consummation of a legally sufficient and feasible reorganization plan. The strong presumption of mootness that inures in such cases will give way only where the appellant has adequately demonstrated that (1) the court may still order some effective relief; (2) such relief will not affect the re-emergence of the debtor as a revitalized corporate entity; (3) such relief will not unravel intricate transactions so as to knock the props out from under the authorization for every transaction that has taken place and create an unmanageable, uncontrollable situation for the bankruptcy court; (4) the parties who would be adversely affected by the modification have notice of the appeal and an opportunity to participate in the proceedings; and (5) the appellant pursued with diligence all available remedies to execution of the plan throughout the proceedings. Chateaugay, 94 F.3d 772 at 776; In re Kenwin Shops, Inc., No. 99 Civ. 10485, 2000 WL 351404, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 5, 2000).
As set forth below, this Court finds (a) substantial Plan consummation, in that the anticipated monetary distribution to Paw-lowski’s allowed creditors has been effectuated, and (b) that the Plan itself was viable and properly confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. In light of those determinations, this Court finds that Bernárdez fails to rebut the resulting presumption of mootness in the manner set forth in Chateau-gay. Her instant appeals are therefore dismissed as moot.
*551A. Substantial Consummation
As defined in the bankruptcy code, “substantial consummation” is:
a) the transfer of all or substantially all of the property proposed by the plan to be transferred;
b) assumption by the debtor of by the successor to the debtor under the plan of the business or of the management of all or substantially all of the property dealt with by the plan; and
c) commencement of distribution under the plan.
11 U.S.C. § 1101(2); In re Metromedia Fiber Network, Inc., 416 F.3d 136, 144 (2d Cir.2005). The import of plan consummation, as the principal mootness inquiry, lies in the fact that it informs certain supplemental considerations, including the twin goals of providing finality for creditors and a “fresh start” for debtors. See Box Bros., 194 B.R. at 39. As such, evaluating whether the relevant bankruptcy reorganization plan has been substantially consummated is “paramount to a resolution of the dispute between the parties.” Id. at 40; see also In re Manges, 29 F.3d 1034, 1041 (5th Cir.1994). Indeed, where there has been substantial consummation, there is a presumption that to grant further relief would be inequitable or impractical. In re Enron Corp., 326 B.R. 497, 502 (S.D.N.Y. 2005); In re Texaco, Inc., 92 B.R. 38, 46 (S.D.N.Y.1988).
In this case, the Court finds that Paw-lowski’s bankruptcy Plan has been substantially consummated. Pursuant to the Plan, Pawlowski refinanced her home and used the resulting proceeds to satisfy substantial debt obligations to her allowed creditors, as contemplated. Having received those distributions, Pawlowski’s creditors are deemed to have relied upon the Plan. See In re Adelphia Commc’ns. Corp., 367 B.R. 84, 97 (S.D.N.Y.2007). Thus, there can be no question that further consideration of Bernardez’s instant appeals substantially implicates the interests of parties not before this Court, and who are without adequate notice of the potential consequences involved. See id. (“[A]ll creditors are potentially at risk and should be parties. Appellants fail to explain how and why all of those creditors&emdash; each of whom received unencumbered distributions under the Plan and very well may no longer be within the reach of the Court’s jurisdiction&emdash;are sufficiently on notice that their distributions are vulnerable to disgorgement on appeal.”).
B. The Reorganization Plan was Properly Confirmed
In light of substantial consummation, the Court next considers the propriety of confirming the Plan itself. In appealing the Bankruptcy Court’s Confirmation Order, Bernárdez argues that the Bankruptcy Court’s failure to contemplate reinstatement of her claim rendered the Plan “unfeasible,” as that term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(ll). This Court disagrees. Evaluating feasibility under the statute requires the Court to determine that:
Confirmation of the plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization, of the debtor or any successor to the debtor under the plan, unless such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in the plan.
11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(ll). Upon review of the record, this Court finds the Bankruptcy Court’s decision to confirm the Plan as feasible is without error.
Plan feasibility is concerned with whether a plan will be reasonably successful in effecting the Bankruptcy Code’s goals of finality and closure. See In re *552Leslie Fay Cos., Inc., 207 B.R. 764, 788-89 (S.D.N.Y.1997) (“Basically, feasibility involves the question of the emergence of the reorganized debtor in a solvent condition and with reasonable prospects of financial stability and success. It is not necessary that success be guaranteed, but only that the plan present a workable scheme of reorganization and operation from which there may be a reasonable expectation of success”) (citations omitted). Appealing the Bankruptcy Court’s Confirmation Order, Bernárdez alleges the Bankruptcy Court’s failure to properly consider the potential negation and ultimate futility of the Plan, should her personal injury claim be reinstated on appeal. As reinstatement would necessarily thrust Pawlowski back into bankruptcy or otherwise require the unwinding of the proposed Plan, Bernárdez argues that the Confirmation Order ran afoul of the finality principle underlying § 1129’s feasibility requirement. See In re Harbin, 486 F.3d 510, 519 (9th Cir.2007). For the reasons below, this Court finds Harbin inapt.
In Harbin, Sherman, the potential creditor, won a substantial jury verdict against the debtor, Harbin, in Harbin’s personal capacity. Prior to entry of judgment, the trial court set aside the verdict on grounds that Harbin could not be held personally liable. The factual similarities between Harbin and the instant case end there. Unlike here, Sherman sought and obtained relief from the automatic stay in order to appeal the trial court’s action. Harbin, 486 F.3d at 514 n. 1. Indeed, Sherman, whose claims the bankruptcy court only conditionally dismissed, was provided an opportunity to reassert his claims should the state-court jury verdict be reinstated on appeal. Id. at 514. Thus, unlike here, the bankruptcy court, in confirming the plan without allowance for Sherman’s claim, wholly ignored the very potentiality it must have contemplated when granting relief from the automatic stay. Owing to that grave deficiency, the plan was deemed unfeasible. No such circumstance is present here.
As discussed above, the bankruptcy court here was not contending with a disputed and sub judice state-court claim. Contrary to the facts in Harbin, the Bankruptcy Court here retained exclusive jurisdiction of Bernardez’s claim, denied relief from the automatic stay, and then disallowed and expunged that claim upon a considered review of its underlying merits. Notwithstanding claim disallowance and expungement, the bankruptcy court nonetheless gave full hearing to Bernardez’s confirmation objection — going so far as to provide Bernárdez with an opportunity to make a formal stay application, process the bankruptcy court need not have permitted under the law of this Circuit. See In re Kreisler Group, Inc., 648 F.2d 86, 87 (2d Cir.1981) (holding that any claimant whose claim had been disallowed is without standing to object to Plan confirmation); see also In re Southold Dev. Corp., 136 B.R. 40, 42 (E.D.N.Y.1992) (same).
Here, because the Bankruptcy Court’s March 6, 2008 decision to proceed with Plan confirmation was expressly predicated on the court’s view that the Bernárdez claim was not likely to be successful on appeal, the bankruptcy court reasonably determined that the Plan’s failure to make allowance for the unlikely reinstatement of such claim on appeal did not render it unfeasible. Thus, having given ample consideration to the issue — as evident on the record of the confirmation hearing — the Bankruptcy Court determined that the existence of litigation over a single disallowed claim was no basis to withhold ef-fectuation of a reorganization plan that provided full satisfaction to all remaining creditors. This Court finds no error in that carefully considered determination. Indeed, nothing in Harbin suggests that *553ongoing litigation renders a plan inherently unfeasible; it requires merely that the presiding court exercise discretion in evaluating feasibility in light of such claims. See In re ELL 11, LLC., No. 07-60089, 2008 WL 916695, at *2 (Bankr.M.D.Ga. Apr. 2, 2008) (distinguishing Harbin and holding that ongoing litigation does not render a reorganization plan unfeasible).
Bernárdez disagrees with the Bankruptcy Court’s decision to retain jurisdiction over her claim, its refusal to permit her to return to state court, and the disallowance and expungement of her claim. Nonetheless, those rulings comprise the operative background against which the decision to confirm the Plan must be evaluated. See Southold, 186 B.R. at 42 (citing In re Charter Co., 92 B.R. 510, 512-13 (M.D.Fla. 1988) (applying doctrine of “law of the case” to dismiss appeal of Confirmation Order where the same court had previously held that appellant had no cognizable claim)); see also In re ELL 11, (denying confirmation objection on grounds of court’s prior disallowance determination). The only question, at least for purposes of appealing Plan confirmation, is whether in light of these facts, the Plan feasibly provided for satisfaction of claims by the allowed creditors. It did so. As such, this Court finds that confirmation of the Plan as feasible was appropriate, and that Ber-nardez’s contingent, disallowed claim need not have been considered in the Bankruptcy Court’s feasibility analysis. For these reasons, Bernardez’s appeal of the Confirmation Order is dismissed.
C. Bernárdez fails to rebut the applicable mootness presumption
This Court having concluded (a) that Pawlowski’s Plan has been substantially consummated, and (b) that underlying confirmation of such Plan was both legally permissible and factually appropriate, the Court now considers the heart of the mootness question.
As stated above, to overcome the presumption of mootness inherent in cases where, as here, the plan has substantially been consummated, the claimant must satisfy each of the factors set forth in Cha-teaugay. See Chateaugay, 10 F.3d 944 at 952 (describing five factors and noting that “substantial consummation will not moot an appeal if all of the [five] circumstances exist”) (emphasis added); Kenwin Shops, 2000 WL 351404, at *2. In addressing the Chateaugay analysis here, the Court begins with the fifth and final factor&emdash;dili-gent pursuit of stay. Kenwin Shops, 2000 WL 351404, at *2. Whether a stay has been obtained is critical to the mootness analysis because granting relief to claims arising from substantially consummated reorganization plans has repercussions upon the reorganization scheme as a whole; impacts which must be considered by the Court. See Adelphia, 367 B.R. at 97-98. On this point, the record leaves no doubt that Bernardez’s counsel left on the table a host of stay procedures that may have prevented Plan consummation. See, e.g., Pub. Svc. Co. of New Hampshire, 963 F.2d at 472. As stated above, Counsel notably failed to make a formal application for stay until after Plan confirmation. Subsequently, upon denial of that application, Counsel did not seek available relief from either this Court or the Court of Appeals. Even if all avenues available had been sought and denied,3 Bernárdez still had the option, pursuant to Federal Rule *55462, to bond her way out of the predicament in which she now finds herself. She declined to do so. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 62(d); Fed. R. Bankr.P. 7001(5)(7); In re Pub. Svc. Co. of New Hampshire, 963 F.2d 469, 478 n. 9 (1st Cir.1992) (dismissing appeal as moot, stating: “While we recognize the practical difficulties of posting a superse-deas bond in a matter of this magnitude, appellants did not propose a supersedeas bond in any amount. In any event, ... appellants should not have sat by while this case drifted along a routine, unexped-ited course.”) (internal quotations omitted).
Bernardez’s failure to forestall Plan confirmation and consummation must further be viewed against Counsel’s demonstrated awareness of the potential repercussions of such action. See Box Bros., 194 B.R. at 40 (considering parties’ knowledge of consequences flowing from failure to obtain stay). To wit, the record shows that all parties were well aware of the extensive legal precedents dismissing as moot appeals from unstayed, consummated reorganizations. Having thus been keenly aware that, absent stay, plan confirmation and consummation tend to render moot even meritorious appeals, Bernardez’s failure to diligently pursue the relief necessary to halt Plan progression and to maintain the status quo now militates against reaching the merits of her claim.
II.
BERNARDEZ’S ALTERNATIVE PROPOSAL FOR RELIEF
Given the instant appeals’ effect on third-party creditors, all of whom have undeniably relied upon the unstayed confirmation, Bernárdez suggests the irrelevance of Chateaugay factors two and three by proffering alternative relief that would avoid unwinding the now fully consummated Plan. Bernárdez argues that effective relief — the first Chateaugay factor — could be granted by garnishing Pawlowski’s future earnings, thereby preserving the transactions that have taken place under the Plan as well as the interests of all remaining creditors. By these means, Bernárdez proposes to sidestep the mootness argument. This Court, however, finds Bernardez’s proffered relief — which would be funded wholly outside the Plan— to be legally impermissible.
Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, post-confirmation assets not expressly provided for in the plan are not within the bankruptcy estate, and neither this Court nor the Bankruptcy Court is possessed of jurisdiction sufficient to exercise control over such funds. See 11 U.S.C. §§ 541(a)(6), 1115(a)(2).4 Even if there were jurisdiction over post-confirmation funds, which there is not, Bernardez’s proposal to effectively garnish Pawlowski’s future wages would squarely contravene the second Chateaugay factor and the “fresh-start” policy underlying the Bankruptcy Code’s discharge procedures. For these reasons, Bernardez’s proposal is rejected.
As the bankruptcy court is empowered to satisfy claims exclusively with estate assets, the only effective relief available *555would necessarily require the Plan to be wholly unwound in order to redistribute the Estate. Accordingly, Bernárdez cannot avoid the heart of the equitable mootness inquiry. In light of Bernardez’s failure to protect her interests — that is, to prevent reliance upon and confirmation of the Plan by all the varied and various means available — this Court will not undo what is done.
CONCLUSION
For the reasons set forth above, Debt- or’s cross-motion is GRANTED. Plaintiff Bernardez’s bankruptcy appeals 08-CV-0366 (RRMXRML) and 08-CV-1213 (RRM)(SMG) are hereby dismissed, respectively, as equitably moot.
SO ORDERED.
