OPINION

Appellant Wachovia Bank, N.A., appeals from a

decision of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the

Middle District of Alabama in an adversary proceeding

involving competing claims of priority between Wachovia

Bank and appellee Double A. Trailer Sales, Inc. in 15

semi-trailers which had been manufactured by debtor

Dorsey Trailer Company, Inc. The bankruptcy court held

Case 2:09-cv-00469-MHT Document 17 Filed 03/08/10 Page 1 of 2
that “Double A qualifies as a ‘buyer in the ordinary

course of business’ of the trailers in question”; that

“Double A purchased the trailers free and clear of the

blanket security interest that Dorsey granted to

Wachovia”; and that “the detinue bond posted by Double A

is to be discharged.” Bankruptcy court opinion (doc. no.

2-24) at 10. Having reviewed the entire record, this

district court is not convinced that the bankruptcy

court’s findings of fact are clearly erroneous, nor does

this court see where the bankruptcy court committed any

legal error. 

Accordingly, the decision of the bankruptcy court

should be affirmed on the basis of its well-reasoned

opinion.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 8th day of March, 2010.
