In Re: John F. Foust, Debtor,john F. Foust, Appellant, v. United States of America, Appellee, 52 F.3d 330 (8th Cir. 1995)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 52 F.3d 330 (8th Cir. 1995) Submitted: Dec. 14, 1994. Filed: Apr. 20, 1995

Before ARNOLD, Chief Judge, HEANEY, Senior Circuit Judge, and FAGG, Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM.


John Foust appeals the district court's affirmance of the bankruptcy court's order denying Foust a discharge of loan debts owed to the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA). The bankruptcy court determined Foust had obtained the loans from the SBA and the FmHA by actual fraud, see 11 U.S.C. § 523(a) (2) (A) (1988), and had willfully and maliciously converted the FmHA's security interest in Foust's crops and crop proceeds, see 11 U.S.C. § 523(a) (6) (1988). For reversal, Foust argues the bankruptcy court made several clearly erroneous factual findings and errors of law. See Sinclair Oil Corp. v. Jones (In re Jones), 31 F.3d 659, 661 (8th Cir. 1994) (standard of review). Our review of the record, however, convinces us the bankruptcy court committed no reversible error, and we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
