In the Matter of Jane Marlene Busick, Debtor-Appellee
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
RIPPLE, Circuit Judge.
In this appeal, we are asked to review the judgment of the district court which reversed the bankruptcy court’s grant of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. The district court held that Mrs. Busick’s contention that she was not liable to the petitioning creditors for certain debts incurred by her husband in business constituted a “bona fide dispute” over the debt which, under the terms of 11 U.S.C. §§ 303(b)(1) and (h)(1) precluded the granting of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. For the following reasons, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
