Zaharescu v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Zaharescu v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 696 F. App'x 827 (9th Cir. 2017)

Zaharescu v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Adina I. Zaharescu appeals pro se from the district court’s order affirming the bankruptcy court’s order dismissing Za-harescu’s chapter 11 bankruptcy case. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 158(d). We review de novo the district court’s decision on appeal from the bankruptcy court and apply the same standards of review applied by the district court. In re *828 Thorpe Insulation Co., 677 F.3d 869, 879 (9th Cir. 2012). We affirm.

The bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Zaharescu’s bankruptcy case because the record supports its finding that Zaharescu filed the petition in bad faith. See 11 U.S.C. § 1112(b); Marsch v.- Marsch (In re Marsch), 36 F.3d 825, 828 (9th Cir. 1994) (reviewing for clear error a bankruptcy court’s finding of “bad faith” and for an abuse of discretion its decision to dismiss a bankruptcy case as filed in “bad faith”).

We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

AFFIRMED.
