Before: ROTH, BARRY and FUENTES,
Circuit Judges
ORDER AMENDING OPINION
IT IS ORDERED that the slip opinion in the above case,
filed on November 20, 2001, be amended as follows:
Remove the word "not" from the conclusion of Part V, on
page 21, so that it is amended to read:

-- 1 of 2 --

"For the foregoing reasons, we will reverse the decision of
the District Court and remand this case for further
proceedings consistent with this opinion. We hold that in
light of the statute' s plain language, its history, and
applicable case laws, 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(7) does except from
discharge in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy a bail bond forfeiture
judgment entered against a family surety for failure to
produce the defendant for trial."
