— Fred A. Ferguson appeals the summary dismissal of his lender-liability claims against Puget Sound National Bank. We affirm.
Between September 1989 and January 1991, Ferguson borrowed $260,000 from Puget Sound National Bank. He executed two promissory notes secured by deeds of trust on real property and security interests in personal property. He did not pay as agreed, and in December 1991 the bank sued him in Thurston County Superior Court.1
In February 1992, Ferguson filed a voluntary Chapter 7 petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court. Although he listed as debts the bank’s claims against him, he did not list as assets the lender-liability claims that he presently brings against the bank. The bankruptcy trustee determined that the case was a “no asset Chapter 7 proceeding” and “instruct [ed] the creditors that no proof of claim [was] to be filed.”2 The bankruptcy court discharged the listed debts and closed the case in late June 1992.
Two years later, in February 1994, Ferguson moved the bankruptcy court to reopen the bankruptcy case. He said that he wanted to pursue lender-liability claims against the bank, and that the proceeds of such claims should be *402administered by the bankruptcy trustee.3 The bankruptcy court granted his motion.
In March 1994, Ferguson filed an answer in the dormant Thurston County action. He included lender-liability counterclaims for breach of contract, misrepresentation, promissory estoppel, negligent supervision and emotional distress. He did not join the bankruptcy trustee as a party.
Four and a half years elapsed. Then, in August 1998, Ferguson moved the Thurston County Superior Court to join the bankruptcy trustee as a party. A month after that, the bank moved the superior court for a summary judgment of dismissal. It asserted that Ferguson was subject to res judicata or judicial estoppel because, in the bankruptcy court, he had discharged the bank’s claims against him without listing or otherwise disclosing his claims against the bank. In October 1998, the superior court granted both motions.
In December 1998, the bankruptcy trustee moved the bankruptcy court for leave to abandon all interest in Ferguson’s claims against the bank. In January 1999, the bankruptcy court granted the motion and authorized the trustee “to abandon the lawsuit against [the bank] ... as burdensome or of inconsequential value.”4
In February 1999, the superior court formally dismissed Ferguson’s claims with prejudice. In March 1999, Ferguson and the bankruptcy trustee filed a notice of appeal to this court. The notice states, “Fred A. Ferguson . . . and William Beecher as Trustee for the bankruptcy estate of Frederick A. Ferguson . . . seeks [sic] review ... of the Order Granting Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment[.]”5
At the outset, we do not understand how a bankruptcy trustee can appeal a lawsuit after abandoning all *403interest in it.6 Accordingly, we view Ferguson as the only proper appellant.
The issue Ferguson raises is whether a person is estopped from bringing a lender-liability claim because, in an earlier bankruptcy proceeding, he discharged or otherwise altered7 the lender’s claims against him while failing to list or otherwise disclose his own claims against the lender, even though the lender’s claims and his claims all arise out of the same transaction.
According to the bank, every court that has faced the issue has found an estoppel of some kind — res judicata8 (which is sometimes called “direct estoppel” or “estoppel by judgment”9); judicial estoppel;10 equitable estoppel;11 *404“quasi-estoppel”;12 or estoppel of an unspecified nature.13 As one court summarizes, “Because of the Bankruptcy Code requirements to disclose the whole spectrum of a petitioner’s financial affairs, ‘courts that have considered the effect of a debtor’s failure to disclose a potential lender-liability lawsuit in a bankruptcy proceeding have universally held that the debtor is equitably estopped, judicially estopped or barred by res judicata [.]’ ”14 Ferguson does not cite to any cases that take his position, and we have found none ourselves.15 We conclude that the bank’s authorities are *405persuasive; that Ferguson is estopped from bringing his present claims; and that the trial court did not err by ruling as it did.

Ferguson argues at length that there is a material difference between altering a claim under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and discharging it completely under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. We fail to perceive that difference. Under either chapter, the bankruptcy debtor has a duty to list his or her claims as assets. 11 U.S.C. § 521(1); see Youngblood Group v. Lufkin Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass’n., 932 F. Supp. 859, 867 (E.D. Tex. 1996).

According to Ferguson, his position is supported by Heritage Hotel Partnership I, 160 B.R. 374 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 1993). Heritage Hotel held that after confirmation of a reorganization plan, a Chapter 11 debtor was precluded by res judicata and equitable estoppel from asserting a lender liability claim. Heritage *405Hotel did not address the question whether, after discharge, a Chapter 7 debtor is precluded from asserting a lender liability claim. Nothing in Heritage Hotel supports Ferguson’s position here.
According to Ferguson, his position is supported by National Westminster Bank, U.S.A. v. Ross, 130 B.R. 656 (S.D.N.Y. 1991). National Westminster Bank held that so-called “lift-stay litigation does not have preclusive effect. As we neither consider nor rely on that proposition, National Westminster Bank is immaterial here.
