OPINION

HOULE, Bankruptcy Judge.

Adam W. Child (“Child”) has appealed a bankruptcy court summary judgment finding a debt nondischargeable in favor of Foxboro Ranch Estates, LLC (“Foxboro”). Child contends that the bankruptcy court erred by giving preclusive effect to an Arizona judgment in favor of Foxboro, arguing that the minimal nature and extent of his participation in the superior court action was not sufficient under Arizona law to allow application of issue preclusion. We agree and REVERSE the summary judgment and REMAND for further proceedings in accordance with this Opinion.
