United States First Circuit

Dismissal of an adversary proceeding in the bankruptcy court in which the creditor-attorney asserted that the debtor incurred the debt through false and fraudulent representations and under false pretenses and was, therefore, nondischargeable, is affirmed, where the bankruptcy court did not err in concluding that the creditor-attorney had not proven by preponderant evidence that the promise to pay was either knowingly false when made or intended to deceive.
