MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from California Trade Technical Schools, Inc., In re, 923 F.2d 641 (9th Cir. 1991):
In reviewing a district court's affirmance of a bankruptcy court decision, this court's role is essentially the same as the district court's; findings of fact are reviewed under the "clearly erroneous" standard, and conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. Ragsdale v. Haller, 780 F.2d 794, 795 (9th Cir.1986).
