MATTER OF LONG

No. 85-2070.

794 F.2d 928 (1986)

In the Matter of Larry Joe LONG, Debtor, Larry Joe LONG, Appellant, v. Penelope WEST, f/k/a Penelope West Long, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Decided June 25, 1986.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James H. Cassidy (Robertson, Cassidy & Price, Greenville, S.C., Louis G. Sullivan, II, Anderson, S.C. on brief) for appellant.

Andrew J. White, Jr. (Haynsworth, Perry, Bryant, Marion & Johnstone, Greenville, S.C. on brief) for appellee.

Before WIDENER, MURNAGHAN and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.

WIDENER, Circuit Judge:

This appeal arose in the context of a Chapter 13 petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of South Carolina. Reversing the bankruptcy court, the district court held that the lump-sum alimony obligation of the debtor, Larry Joe Long, to the creditor, Penelope West, was for West's support and maintenance and therefore that the obligation constituted a nondischargeable debt under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(5). We affirm.
