United States Ninth Circuit

In this bankruptcy proceeding, judgment of the district court holding that under 11 U.S.C. section 550, appellant Mano was the initial transferee disputed funds paid by the debtor in connection with the sale of a shopping plaza, is affirmed, where: 1) applying the "dominion test," Mano was the initial transferee and not a subsequent transferee; and 2) McCarty v. Richard James Enters., Inc., which applied in part the "control test" for identifying initial transferees, is no longer good law.
