Bozich v. Internal Revenue Service

242 B.R. 704, 84 A.F.T.R.2d (RIA) 5493, 1999 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 20983

Opinion

ORDER

ROLL, District Judge.

Richard W. Bozieh and Vivian A. Bozieh (“Appellants”) appeal from a judgment¹ entered by the United States Bankruptcy Court. Appellants contend that the bankruptcy court erred in allowing a proof of claim filed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to operate in their bankruptcy proceeding.²

After considering the briefs filed by the parties and the entire record in this matter, the Court finds that the bankruptcy court completely and properly resolved the issues presented by Appellants. Accordingly, for the reasons stated by the bankruptcy court in its Orders dated December 11, 1996, April 3, 1997, and August 14, 1998, this Court affirms.

AFFIRMED. This case is DISMISSED.
