Buckeye Retirement Co. v. Laux (In Re Laux)
Opinion
Appellant Buckeye Retirement Co. LLC, Ltd. (“Buckeye”), as successor in interest to the Cadle Company, appeals the judgment of the bankruptcy court, as affirmed by the district court, rejecting Buckeye’s claim that a debt owed to it by Appellees Vernon Lee Laux and Pamela Sue Laux (“Debtors”) should not be discharged in their bankruptcy. The gravamen of Buckeye’s contention is that the Debtors’ original Schedules and Statements of Financial Affairs were knowingly false by virtue of omissions and misrepresentations and that these errors should not be deemed cured by revised filings.
We are satisfied by our review of the record on appeal, including the facts and the law as set forth in the briefs of the parties, the Magistrate Judge’s Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, and the district court’s Memorandum Opinion & Order affirming the bankruptcy court’s rejection of Buckeye’s opposition to the discharge of the subject debts, that the rulings of those courts are correct. For essentially the reasons set forth by the district court in its careful and exhaustive opinion, the judgment of the bankruptcy court is, in all respects,
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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
