Abstract

Defendant-appellant Joanne Stelluti ("Ms. Stelluti") appeals from a judgment entered in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Parker, J.) affirming an order of the United States Bankruptcy Court. The bankruptcy court found that $480,000 of Ms. Stelluti's debt to plaintiff-appellee Navistar Financial Corporation ("Navistar Financial") was nondischargeable under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(6) because her actions in helping her husband, Michael Anthony Stelluti ("Mr. Stelluti"), transfer funds that were the property of Navistar Financial to out-of-state bank accounts were willful and malicious. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
