Ronald P. Hasley & Vicki A. Hasley v. Tyler B. Irons (In re Irons), Ch. 7, BK15-40876, A15-4051 (Sept. 16, 2016)

The court denied summary judgment on dischargeability under ยงยง 523(a)(2)(A) and (a)(4) of a debt that was based on a state court judgment. That judgment was a summary judgment on a breach of contract issue, so the elements of fraud or defalcation had not been established. The motion in state court had not been defended by the debtor, possibly due to counsel's negligence, so collateral estoppel may not be applicable. In sum, genuine issues of material fact exist as to dischargeability, so the matter should be tried.
