Barnette v. Evans
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided April 26, 1982No. 81-7883PublishedCited by 105 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
RONEY, Circuit Judge:
In this case a bankruptcy judge enjoined a county prosecutor and a complaining witness from continuing a state criminal prosecution on a state grand jury indictment for theft by deception, arising out of worthless checks. The criminal defendant was a debtor in the bankruptcy court, the complaining witness a creditor. A state conviction would mandate restitution to the creditor. The bankruptcy judge thought this result would frustrate his jurisdiction to discharge the debt in bankruptcy although he had not yet decided the debt was dischargeable. We reverse.
