Falbo v. Knox

Falbo v. Knox
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided December 4, 1947
164 F.2d 484; 1947 U.S. App. LEXIS 1932 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Falbo v. Knox

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant’s reliance on Davison—Paxon Co. v. Caldwell, 5 Cir., 115 F.2d 189, will not do. On the authority of Local Loan Co. v. Hunt, 292 U.S. 234, 54 S.Ct. 695, 78 L.Ed. 1230, 93 A.L.R. 195, jurisdiction was invoked and sustained there on the ground that “ * * * because of the settled but erroneous state of the decisions in Georgia, plaintiff had been compelled to invoke the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court.”

The judgment was right. It is affirmed.
