1Opinion of the Court
BUCKLEW, District Judge:
The United States appeals from the district court’s decision affirming an order of the bankruptcy court, in which the bankruptcy court determined that Larry C. Mitchell’s (“Mitchell”) federal income tax debt was dischargeable in bankruptcy. 2 Because we conclude that the bankruptcy court clearly erred in its finding that Mitchell had not willfully attempted to evade or defeat his taxes within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(1)(C), we REVERSE the decision of the district court.
