ORDER ON REMAND
6
This matter is before us on Remand From the United States Supreme Court.
Our opinion is found at 904 F.2d 563 (10th Cir.1990).
We affirmed the district court, holding that as Johnson's personal liability had
been discharged the Bank no longer had a claim against Johnson subject to
rescheduling under Chapter 13. The Supreme Court reversed. See Johnson v.
Home State Bank, --- U.S. ----, 111 S.Ct. 2150, 115 L.Ed.2d 66 (1991). The
judgment of the Supreme Court has now been received. Accordingly, the
previous judgment of this court is vacated. The Supreme Court remanded this
case concerning the issues of good faith or feasibility. These issues were
decided by the bankruptcy court, were raised by the Bank in its appeal from the
bankruptcy court to the district court but were not decided by the district court.

This court, following its long established rule that it will not ordinarily decide a
matter not addressed by the district court REMANDS this matter to the district
court for such further proceedings as may be necessary.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
The Honorable Lee R. West, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Oklahoma, sitting by designation
