1Opinion of the Court
HARLINGTON WOOD, JR., Circuit Judge:
Plaintiffs-Appellees, certain creditors and former business partners of Sheldon Baroff (“Baroff’), the debtor, filed an action under Section 523 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 523, contending that their claims against the debtor were nondisehargeable because the debtor had obtained the loans by fraud and because Baroff committed fraud while acting in a fiduciary capacity. Baroff successfully defended the nondisehargeability action in part on the grounds that a settlement agreement between the parties pre-eluded proof of the allegedly fraudulent loans.
