224 F. 97 | 8th Cir. | 1915
George H. Fleischman and T. E. Armstrong were partners as Armstrong & Fleischman. Fleischman filed a petition in bankruptcy, and prayed therein that he, the partnership, and T. E. Armstrong individually, be adjudged bankrupts. T. E. Armstrong demurred to the petition against him individually, his demurrer was sustained, and the petition as to him individually was dismissed. He answered the petition as to the partnership, Fleischman demurred to his answer, that demurrer was sustained, and on April 15, 1913, the partnership and the individual, Fleischman, were adjudged bankrupt. On April 24, 1913, the referee, without notice to Armstrong and without hearing, ordered him to file with the referee within 10 days a list of his creditors and a schedule of his assets. On a petition of Armstrong to' revise this order, the District Court affirmed it. Thereupon Armstrong filed, a petition to revise and avoid this order of the court below, and his counsel now contend that this' order is erroneous: First, because the referee gave no notice of the hearing of the question whether or not he should make this order, failed to have any hearing upon that question, and failed to recite in the order anything about the notice or hearing as required- by General Order in Bankruptcy No. XXIII; and, second, because inasmuch as
The petition to revise must be dismissed; and it is so ordered!.
