         APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

               FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO

       [[Hon. Gilberto Gierbolini, U.S. District Judge]
                                                      

                                         

                            Before

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.
