   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-2031
   Appeal from the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Eighth Circuit   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Murphy and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy Appellate Panel did not err in reversing the bankruptcy court's decision that the Glens' debt was excepted from discharge under Sec. 523(a)(2)(A) as the bankruptcy court erred in holding that a reduction in the value of the creditors' equity was sufficient to satisfy the section's requirement that money or property had to be obtained from the creditor; here any reduction in the value of their equity was the result of the creditors' failure to record a mortgage and did not result from any conduct by debtors that could be characterized as fraudulent within the meaning of the statute.
