Chille v. United Airlines, Inc.
Chille v. United Airlines, Inc.
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
Plaintiff-Appellant Barbara Ann Chille appeals from the August 9, 2006, judgment of the United States District Court for the Western District of New York (David G. Larimer, Judge) dismissing her complaint. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and the procedural history of the case.
Chille argues on appeal that Section 523(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code should apply to corporate, as well as individual, debtors. See 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(6). This claim was addressed and rejected by the Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of Illinois, however, in connection with
Chille’s remaining arguments either were not raised in the district court or are otherwise without merit. This Court generally does not consider arguments raised for the first time on appeal, see Westinghouse Credit Corp. v. D’Urso, 371 F.3d 96, 103 (2d Cir. 2004), or barred by the doctrine of res judicata, see ATSI Commc’ns, 547 F.3d at 112 n. 2 (“ ‘The doctrine of res judicata, or claim preclusion, holds that a final judgment on the merits of an action precludes the parties or their privies from relitigating issues that were or could have been raised in that action.’ ”).
Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is hereby AFFIRMED.
