UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
No. 94-1065
GOYA FOODS, INC., ET AL.,
Appellees,
v.
ULPIANO UNANUE-CASAL,
A/K/A CHARLES UNANUE,
Appellant.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO
[[Hon. Gilberto Gierbolini, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Selya, Circuit Judge,
Coffin and Bownes, Senior Circuit Judges.
Jan Alan Brody and Carella, Byrne, Bains, Gilfillan, Cecchi &
Stewart & Olstein, William Vidal-Carvajal and Hernandez & Vidal on
brief for appellant.
Arturo J. Garcia-Sola and McConnell Valdes on brief for
appellees.
Per Curiam. We have reviewed the record and the
parties' briefs in the case. Essentially for the reasons
stated by the district court in its opinion, Goya Foods v.
Unanue-Casal (In re Unanue-Casal), 164 B.R. 216, 222-23
(D.P.R. 1993), we find that the bankruptcy court abused its
discretion in declining to abstain pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
1334(c)(1).
Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
