IN RE: Andrew J. REDER (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

IN RE: Andrew J. REDER, Debtor, Andrew Reder Appellant, v. Paul Fisher, Appellee.

No. 16-60028

Decided: February 15, 2018

Before: McKEOWN and WARDLAW, Circuit Judges, and QUIST,** District Judge.

Adam Apollo, Placentia, CA, for Appellant Scott E. Shapiro, Appell Shapiro, LLP, Sherman Oaks, CA, for Appellee

MEMORANDUM ***

Debtor Andrew Reder appeals from the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel's (“BAP”) judgment affirming the bankruptcy court's order determining that Reder's $110,000 debt to Appellee Paul Fisher is nondischargeable pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(2)(A). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 158(d). We review de novo decisions of the BAP. See Scovis v. Henrichsen (In re Scovis), 249 F.3d 975, 980 (9th Cir. 2001). “Because this court is in as good a position as the BAP to review the decision of the bankruptcy court, we review the bankruptcy court's decision independently.” Gayden v. Nourbakhsh (In re Nourbakhsh), 67 F.3d 798, 800 (9th Cir. 1995) (per curiam).

After a review of the record and briefing, we affirm for the reasons stated in the BAP's well-reasoned and thorough memorandum decision entered on March 8, 2016.

AFFIRMED.
