UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

Summary Calendar No. 00-10785

In the Matter of: KERRY MARSTON; JOHNNIE JEAN MARSTON Debtors.

KERRY MARSTON and JOHNNIE JEAN MARSTON Appellants, versus HALLI ENTERPRISES, INC., Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (99-CV-143) January 22, 2001 Before POLITZ, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges, PER CURIAM*

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.

Kerry and Johnnie Jean Marston appeal the holding of the district court, affirming the finding of the bankruptcy court, that rescission of their contract for the sale of real property was warranted, but that no actual, exemplary or mental anguish damages, nor attorney fees, are due.

This case involves a contract for the sale of a convenience store, purchased by the Marstons, based in part upon financial information provided by HalLi Enterprises that was found by the bankruptcy court to be negligent misrepresentations. The essential facts surrounding the purchase of the property are fully detailed in the opinion of the district court, which we accept and adopt.

Our review of the opinions of the bankruptcy court and district court, the relevant authorities, and the filings of counsel, compels the conclusion that the evidence and the controlling law support the findings below.

On the facts as found, authorities cited, and analysis made by the district court, the judgment appealed is in all respects AFFIRMED.
