Orix Credit Alliance Inc. Ex Rel Floyd v. R & R Rentals Inc. (In Re Parks)

Opinion

PER CURIAM. *

Orix Credit Alliance appeals an adverse decision in the district eourt-which adopted the holdings of the bankruptcy court-arguing that: (1) the bankruptcy court did not have jurisdiction to rule on the contract dispute; and (2) if that court were vested with jurisdiction, it erred in entering a take-nothing judgment. Both contentions are misplaced.

The bankruptcy court clearly had jurisdiction to adjudicate this contract dispute *393 that was “related to” the bankruptcy case. See 28 U.S.C. § 1334(b). We cannot say that the bankruptcy court, after properly exercising jurisdiction, committed clear error in finding that a contract had not been formed and in entering a take-nothing judgment.

For these reasons, the decision of the district court is AFFIRMED.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
