Jerome F. VALENTA, Appellant,
v.
JENNIFER O.; Joseph A. Valenta, Trustee, Valenta Family
Trusts; Donald W. Henry, Trustee, Appellees.
No. 95-55179.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted July 29, 1996.*
Decided Aug. 5, 1996.
Before: HUG, Chief Judge, SCHROEDER, and TASHIMA, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM**
Former California state prisoner Jerome F. Valenta appeals pro se the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel's ("BAP") decision affirming a bankruptcy court's order denying Valenta's motion to dismiss an involuntary Chapter 7 petition brought by a judgment creditor when Valenta was incarcerated. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 158(d), and we affirm.
After our independent review of the record and the bankruptcy court's decision, see Dominguez v. Miller (In re Dominguez), 51 F.3d 1502, 1506 (9th Cir.1995), we affirm the bankruptcy court's denial of Valenta's motion to dismiss for the reasons stated in the BAP's memorandum disposition filed on January 6, 1995.
We have considered Valenta's remaining contentions and conclude that they are meritless.
AFFIRMED.
