Text: A bankruptcy court ’s findings of fact are reviewed for clear error and its conclusions of law are reviewed de novo . First Nat’l Bank v. Pontow, 111 F.3d 604, 609 (8th Cir. 1997) (quoting Miller v. Farmers Home Admin. (In re Miller), 16 F.3d 240, 242-43 (8th Cir. 1994)). In this case we review de novo the bankruptcy court’s interpreta tion and application of 11 U.S.C. section 506(b). Wegner v. Grunewaldt, 821 F.3d 1317, 1320 (8t h Cir. 1987); White v. Coors Distributing, Co. (In re White), 260 B.R. 870, 874 (B.A.P. 8th Cir. 2001). 1 Based upon footnote 9 in the bankruptcy court’s order this element is deemed to have been conceded by the parties. 5
