   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-6009
   U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Batesville   
   [PUBLISHED] [Schermer, Author, with Federman and Venters,
   Bankruptcy Judges]
   Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. Bankruptcy court did not err in finding
   that the collateral estoppel doctrine did not preclude it from deciding
   whether debtor's actions met the requirements of section 523(a)(6) of the
   Bankruptcy Code; nor did the court err in finding that debtor did not act
   with maliciousness for the purposes of Section 523(a)(6); as a result, the
   court did not err in finding the debt owed the creditor is not excepted
   from the discharge.
