006068P.pdf   01/04/2001  Patricia A. Siemer  v.  Donald Nangle
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  00-6068
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. Illinois judgment for damages for 
   violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was a debt 
   for willful and malicious conduct and was not dischargeable; 
   bankruptcy court did not err in giving collateral estoppel effect 
   to the Illinois judgment; however, bankruptcy court erred in 
   giving collateral estoppel effect to a Missouri contempt order 
   related to Siemer's attempt to enforce the Illinois judgment since 
   the contempt order was not a final order.
