OPINION

Appellants Charlotte T. Williford and Kenneth

Williford appeal from an order and decision of the

Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Alabama

granting summary judgment in favor of appellees Kenneth L.

Funderburk, Thomas F. Worthy, and Funderburk, Day & Lane.

After a de novo review of the record, this court fully

agrees with the careful and thoughtful decision of the

evidence should be struck and that the Willifords failed

An appropriate judgment will be entered. 

DONE, this the 7th day of September, 2006.
