US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 945 F.2d 1145 (9th Cir. 1991) Argued and Submitted Aug. 22, 1991. Decided Oct. 8, 1991

Michael D. Guinan, Bryan, Cave, McPheeters & McRoberts, Phoenix, Ariz., for appellant.

Appeal from the Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel; Meyers, Chief Judge, Russell and Perris, Judges, Presiding.

Before D.W. NELSON, HALL and FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges.

ORDER

We affirm the decision of the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel1  because in January of 1985 when the agreement regarding interest was made, Richard Smiley, the Farmers Home Administration State Director for Arizona, lacked authority to enter into the agreement. We do not reach the other issues discussed in the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel's decision.

AFFIRMED.
