Head Matter:
In re RICHARDS BROS.
(Circuit Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
December 18, 1914.)
No. 2516.
Petition to Revise an Order of the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Michigan, in Bankruptcy; Arthur J. Tuttle, Judge. Proceedings in the matter of the bankruptcy of Richards Bros. On petition to revise an order of the District Court (200 Fed. 932) allowing trade exemptions to the bankrupts.
Order affirmed.
Osear W. Baker, of Bay City, Mich., for petitioner. Coumans & Gaffney, of Bay City, Mich., for respondent.
Before KNAPPEN and DENISON, Circuit Judges, and KILL1TS, District Judge.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The trustee in bankruptcy complains of the action of the court below in allowing to the bankrupts the trade exemptions provided by the Michigan statute (3 C. L. Mich. 1897, § 10322, subd. 8), against the contention that the name Richards Bros., under which the bankrupts did business, is an assumed or fictitious name, in violation of the statute (P. A. Mich. 1907, No. 101), which forbids the carrying on of business under an assumed or fictitious name, unless a certificate showing the real names of the parties is filed in a designated public office. This contention is effectually foreclosed by a decision of the Supreme Court of Michigan, made since these proceedings to revise were taken. Cross v. Leonard, 181 Mich. 24, 147 N. W. 540. The order complained of is affirmed, with costs.
