No. 95-10491.

81 F.3d 592 (1996)

In the Matter of MAPLE MORTGAGE, INC., Debtor. John James JENKINS, Trustee for Maple Mortgage, Inc., Appellant, v. CHASE HOME MORTGAGE CORPORATION, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

April 30, 1996.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

J. Maxwell Tucker, Winstead, Sechrist & Minick, Dallas, TX, for appellant.

John David Penn, Robin E. Phelan, Haynes & Boone, Fort Worth, TX, for appellee.

Before REYNALDO G. GARZA, WIENER and STEWART, Circuit Judges.


STEWART, Circuit Judge:

Jenkins, trustee for Maple Mortgage (Maple) appeals from a judgment dismissing its claim that a payment to Chase Home Mortgage Corporation (Chase) was either preferential or fraudulent and thus avoidable under 11 U.S.C. § 547 or 11 U.S.C. § 548. Because we conclude that Maple had only legal title to the funds in question and no equitable interest in them, we AFFIRM the district court's grant of summary judgment to Chase.
