Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit March 30, 1990, No. 89-5185 (Laganella v. Braen (In re Braen))

OPINION OF THE COURT

STAPLETON, Circuit Judge:

In this appeal, we review the district court’s holding that a state court malicious prosecution judgment awarded against the debtor, Samuel Braen, Jr., did not collaterally estop consideration of whether Braen had been willful and malicious within the meaning of § 523(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code 94 B.R. 35.
