MEMORANDUM**

2
Former California state prisoner Jerome F. Valenta appeals pro se the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel's ("BAP") decision affirming a bankruptcy court's order denying Valenta's motion to dismiss an involuntary Chapter 7 petition brought by a judgment creditor when Valenta was incarcerated.  We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 158(d), and we affirm.

3
After our independent review of the record and the bankruptcy court's decision,  see Dominguez v. Miller (In re Dominguez), 51 F.3d 1502, 1506 (9th Cir.1995), we affirm the bankruptcy court's denial of Valenta's motion to dismiss for the reasons stated in the BAP's memorandum disposition filed on January 6, 1995.

4
We have considered Valenta's remaining contentions and conclude that they are meritless.

5
AFFIRMED.

*
 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.  See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a);  9th Cir.R. 34-4
