On appeal, the district court affirmed the bankruptcy court's order overruling the debtor's objection to a claim. The issue of the validity of the underlying promissory note was barred by res judicata because it had previously been fully litigated

The district court dismissed the debtor's appeal for lack of diligent prosecution in failing to file a brief in accordance with the court's scheduling order
