MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
DAVID V. O’BRIEN, District Judge. -
This appeal from the Territorial Court of the Virgin Islands raises the principle issue of whether Defendant Ramirez is entitled to assert the defense of discharge in bankruptcy when the attorney for Plaintiff Maldonado, but not Maldonado herself, had, prior to the filing of this action knowledge of Defendant’s then pending bankruptcy petition. In that we hold Plaintiff herself will be bound by notice to her attorney, we reverse the denial below of summary judgment and enter judgment in favor of Defendant.
