   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-6020
   U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Chief Judge Nail, Author, with Schermer and Shodeen, 
   Bankruptcy Judges] 
   Bankruptcy Appellate Panel - Dischargeability. Lund-Ross Constructors, 
   Inc. was general contractor and hired Signature Electric, owned by 
   Debtors, to perform or subcontract work. Signature Electric untruthfully 
   told Lund-Ross that all subcontractors had been fully paid, causing 
   substantial liens placed on Lund-Ross projects. Lund-Ross filed unsecured 
   proof of claim, attaching lien statements and unpaid bills of Signature 
   Electric, not Debtors. In its nondischargeability action, Lund-Ross relied 
   on false statements, not piercing the corporate veil, to see relief. The 
   bankruptcy court granted summary judgment to debtors because debtors did 
   not personally owe debt to Lund-Ross. Bankruptcy court did not err in 
   concluding Lund-Ross was not owed a debt by debtors, Lund-Ross had not 
   plead the corporate veil should be pierced and did not allege facts that 
   debtors used Signature Electric to commit fraud. Judge Shodeen dissents.
