In the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California *1219 (“bankruptcy court”), plaintiff-creditors Kamran Ghadimi, M.D. and his wife Haleh Turkaman (together “Ghadimi”) filed a claim seeking to declare that defendant-, debtor Ashai’s debt to them was rendered not-dischargeable in bankruptcy pursuant to 11 U.S.C. section 523 (a)(2)(A). 1 On May 30, 2014, United States Bankruptcy Judge Robles issued an oral ruling, denying plaintiff-creditors’ claim and holding that Ashai’s debt to them was indeed dis-chargeable. The bankruptcy judge issued a corresponding judgment in the adversary proceeding on June 9, 2014.
