Smith v. Lachter (In Re Smith)
United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Ninth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
FRANK R. ALLEY, III, Bankruptcy Judge.
Plaintiffs Sidney and Sandra Lachter filed a complaint objecting to the discharge of their claim pursuant to Code § 523(a)(2) 2 . The claim had previously been reduced to judgment in a proceeding in the Arizona Superior Court. The Bankruptcy Court entered judgment declaring the debt to be excepted from discharge, and imposed a money judgment for the amount owed. Because we find the Court’s authority to be limited to determining the dischargeability of the debt, we VACATE the money judgment, but AFFIRM the determination of nondischarge-ability.
