Court: Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit; June 4, 2008; Federal Appellate Court

Narrative Opinion Summary

The panel, consisting of Circuit Judges Carnes and Barkett and District Judge Cohn, has revised its opinion from April 15, 2008, published at 524 F.3d 1175. Specifically, the revision involves the deletion of the first two sentences of the first full paragraph on page 1189, which are replaced with a clarification regarding Section 547(e)(2)(A). This section's primary purpose is identified as defeating the antecedent debt requirement under Section 547(b)(2) by designating transfers perfected within ten days as "made" at the time of the transfer, citing relevant case law and literature. The court denied the petition for panel rehearing concerning other issues raised, but this order does not impact the appellant's suggestion for rehearing en banc.
