United States of America.

June 26, 1998

                                
                                            Per Curiam.  We have carefully reviewed the briefs 
    and the record on appeal and affirm the judgment below.  The
    appellant failed to present substantial evidence rebutting the
    duly-filed claim.  The Bankruptcy Court's equitable powers do
    not extend to abridging the substantive rights of creditors. 
    In re Ludlow Hospital Society, Inc. 124 F.3d 22, 27-28 (1st Cir.
    1997).
              Affirmed.  Loc. R. 27.1.
