IN RE DAVIS

No. 98-20775.

194 F.3d 570 (1999)

In the Matter of: Cherry C. DAVIS, Debtor. Debbie Fezler, Administratrix of the Estate of Richard D. Fezler, Deceased, Appellant, v. Cherry C. Davis, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

October 27, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gerson Darrell Bloom (argued), Galveston, TX, for Appellant.

Timothy Allen Tyler (argued), Bellaire, TX, Richard A. Haynes, Houston, TX, for Appellee.

Before REAVLEY, HIGGINBOTHAM and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.


DENNIS, Circuit Judge:

This appeal arises from the dismissal of Appellant's complaint objecting to the Chapter 7 discharge of Texas wrongful death claims against Appellee. The district court decided that Appellant, as Administratrix of the decedent's estate, lacked standing under the Bankruptcy Code to object to the discharge. For the reasons assigned, we conclude that Appellant enjoyed the requisite standing, and, accordingly, we reverse and remand.
