GRAND VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. John W. HODGE, Defendant-Appellee, 130 F. App'x 793

PER CURIAM. The Defendant-Appellee, John W. Hodge, filed a petition for bankruptcy on May 16, 2008, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan. The Plaintiff-Appellant, Grand Valley State University (“University”), subsequently filed a motion requesting the bankruptcy court to dismiss Hodge’s petition for cause, alleging that the petition was filed in bad faith. The bankruptcy court rejected the University’s request, and the University appealed that decision to the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan.

The district court affirmed the decision of the bankruptcy court, and the University now appeals the bankruptcy court’s decision to this Court, continuing to assert that Hodge filed his bankruptcy petition in bad faith. Inasmuch as the district court thoroughly articulated the reasons for affirming the decision of the bankruptcy court, we find that the issuance of a full written opinion by this court would be duplicative and serve no useful purpose. We therefore adopt the reasoning of the district court in its opinion dated March 30, 2004, and AFFIRM the decision of the bankruptcy court.
