ON APPEAL FROM THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT FOR THE WESTERN
DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY
BEFORE: RYAN, BATCHELDER, and GRIFFIN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
In these consolidated appeals, appellant Andrew S. Mickler appeals the July 11, 2006,
judgment of the district court affirming the April 20 and 25, 2005, orders of the bankruptcy court
declaring that appellant’s debts and obligations arising from the dissolution of his marriage to
appellee Terry J. Mickler are forever nondischargeable under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code,
barring appellant from refiling a Chapter 11 petition for a period of twenty-four months, and
dismissing the cases for cause on the basis of appellant’s bad faith conduct in filing his Chapter 11
petition.
After reviewing the record, the parties’ briefs, applicable law, and having had the benefit of
oral argument, this court determines that no jurisprudential purpose would be served by a panel

opinion. The bankruptcy court’s findings of fact are not clearly erroneous, its conclusions of law are
not incorrect, and its decision to dismiss the cases for cause under 11 U.S.C. § 1112(b) does not
constitute an abuse of discretion. In re AMC Mortgage Co., Inc., 213 F.3d 917, 920 (6th Cir. 2000).
We therefore affirm the district court’s decision for the reasons stated by that court and the
bankruptcy court in their respective well-written opinions.
