Paine v. Griffin (In Re Paine)
United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Ninth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
KLEIN, Bankruptcy Judge.
This is an appeal from dismissal of an adversary proceeding filed by debtors seeking to have debts that were “excepted from discharge” on due process grounds in a prior bankruptcy declared to be dis-chargeable in a second chapter 7 case. Although the court shoehorned the prior judgments into 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(10) notwithstanding that there was a discharge in the prior case, we hold that it is not necessary to find an independent basis for excepting the debts from discharge in the second case and AFFIRM based on res judicata principles.
