Younie v. Gonya (In Re Younie)
United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Ninth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
OLLASON, Bankruptcy Judge.
Douglass Younie (“Younie”) and Kathleen O’Callahan-Younie (together “Debtors”) have appealed a summary judgment of nondischargeability of a debt in favor of Paul Gonya (“Gonya”). Debtors contend that the bankruptcy court erred by applying collateral estoppel to a default judgment which, allegedly, was obtained by fraud and did not meet the requirements for issue preclusion. They also contend that the bankruptcy court should not have found the attorney’s fees portion of the judgment debt to be nondischargeable. We affirm.
