Administration under the Crop Disaster Program for a crop failure
which occurred prior to the filing of their petition in bankruptcy,
even though the funds were not received until the petition in
bankruptcy had been filed. The Westmoreland debtors filed an
appeal of this order to the United States District Court for the
Western District of Louisiana. The district court affirmed the
decision of the bankruptcy court and the Westmoreland debtors
appealed to this Court.
We have carefully reviewed the briefs, the reply briefs, the
record excerpts and relevant portions of the record itself. For
the reasons stated by the district court in its opinion filed
January 26, 2004, we affirm the action of the district court in
affirming the decision of the bankruptcy court.
AFFIRMED.
