In re Gulick

HOLT, District Judge.

This is a motion to confirm a referee’s report recommending a discharge. The bankruptcy is voluntary. Three claims only are listed in the schedules, each of which is stated in the schedules to be disputed. In fact, three actions were pending on them when the bankruptcy petition was filed, in which the bankrupt had interposed answers denying liability. These answers have not been withdrawn. The referee has reported in favor of a discharge, to which the creditors object on the ground that, as the bankrupt denies that any debts exist, the court has no jurisdiction.

The point…
