ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before ANDERSON, TACHA, and BRORBY, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered 

submitted without oral argument. 

Debtors-appellants James Stripling and Margaret Stripling 

appeal a district court order affirming a bankruptcy court's 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall 

not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R.

judgment denying a discharge pursuant to 11 u.s.c. § 727(a)(2) and 

(a)(3). On appeal, the Striplings argue the bankruptcy court's 

findings that they knowingly and fraudulently made false oaths and 

transferred and concealed assets with specific intent to hinder, 

delay, and defraud creditor-appellee Mill Creek Lumber & Supply 

Company are clearly erroneous. The Striplings contend simply that 

Margaret Stripling is naive about the business side of her medical 

practice, James Stripling exercised poor judgment, and their 

accountant and attorney made errors for which they should not be 

held accountable. 

After carefully reviewing the record, we AFFIRM for 

substantially the same reasons as the district court. The mandate 

shall issue forthwith.
