Beneficial Industrial Loan Co. v. Williams
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided September 11, 1944 · Denman, Healy, Stephens
145 F.2d 510; 1944 U.S. App. LEXIS 2565 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Beneficial Industrial Loan Co. v. Williams

070rehearing

Upon Petition for Rehearing.

The district court confirmed the order of the referee overruling the objections to the discharge of the bankrupt, which order was supported by the finding of the referee that β€œThe bankrupt did not with reckless disregard of truth make any false statement to the said objecting creditor for the purpose of obtaining credit or an extension of credit.”

There is conflicting evidence as to whether any reckless disregard of truth was had by the appellee and hence we sustain the order of the district court confirming the order of the referee.

The petition for rehearing is denied.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Judgment affirmed.
