U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, 1971

Merle Don Rothman, Trustee v. John F. Forbes & Co.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided June 3, 1971 · Chambers, Merrill, Ely

442 F.2d 1350; 1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 9857 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

On review here are two items of accountants’ fees in the amounts of $2,-413.35 and $4,117.85 as allowed preferences in bankruptcy proceedings.

We find the allowance of the $2,413.35 was clearly erroneous, which appellee virtually concedes.

We cannot find the award of $4,117.85 was clearly erroneous.

Remanded for a modification consistent herewith.
