Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Louis S. St. Laurent, II, Miami, FL, for plaintiff-appellant.

James W. Moore, Miami, FL, for defendants-appellees.

Before FAY, DUBINA and CARNES, Circuit Judges.


DUBINA, Circuit Judge:

The issue in this case is whether a punitive damage award arising from a state court finding of fraud is dischargeable in bankruptcy. The debtor, Louis S. St. Laurent ("St. Laurent"), appeals the district court's judgment affirming the bankruptcy court's determination that the punitive and compensatory portions of a state court judgment for fraud were nondischargeable debts under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(2)(A) and § 523(a)(4).
