MATTER OF HORTON

No. 77-2627.

621 F.2d 968 (1980)

In the Matter of Robert Jackson HORTON, Bankrupt. STEWART ENTERPRISES, INC., Appellee, v. Robert Jackson HORTON, Appellant, M. Nolten, Trustee.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

As Amended July 8, 1980.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Howard W. Wayne, Berkeley, Cal., for appellant.

Steven H. Franceschi, Walnut Creek, Cal., for appellee.

Before KILKENNY and CHOY, Circuit Judges, and GRANT, District Judge.

GRANT, District Judge.

The defendant, Robert Jackson Horton, sought a discharge of his debts in bankruptcy. This was refused by the bankruptcy judge in December 1974. The reason for refusing discharge was "Horton's unjustified failure to keep adequate books of accounts or records from which his financial condition and business transactions could be discerned". Maintaining such records is required. Bankruptcy Act § 14(c)(2), 11 U.S.C. § 32(c)(2).
