   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  00-1389
   District of South Dakota   
Civil Case - bankruptcy. Bankruptcy court's determination that bankruptcy petition was filed in bad faith is affirmed. Bankruptcy court's factual determination that motivation for bankruptcy petition was to dispose of shareholder lawsuit was not clearly erroneous. Court declines to adopt a test that bankruptcy court many not dismiss a petition for bad faith unless it also finds that no legitimate possibility of reorganization exists; Chapter 11 petition may be dismissed for bad faith alone. Dismissal was not an abuse of discretion.
