                                      ____________________

       STEVEN RHODES, Bankruptcy Appellate Panel Judge. After reviewing the record and the
parties’ briefs, and after considering their oral arguments, the Panel determines that the bankruptcy
court’s findings of fact are not clearly erroneous and its conclusions of law are correct. We therefore
affirm the bankruptcy court’s decision for the reasons stated by that court in its well-written opinion
entered in Hardesty v. Citifinancial, Inc. (In re Roberts), 402 B.R. 808 (Bankr. S.D. Ohio 2009), and
incorporated in In re Friesner.
