The following excerpt is from Willey, In re, 900 F.2d 263 (9th Cir. 1989):
1 Willey raises two other issues for the first time on appeal. She contends that the bankruptcy court: (1) did not have the authority to dismiss the action with prejudice pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 349(a), and (2) committed reversible error by failing to appoint a creditor's committee pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1102(a). We decline to address these issues because "[a]s a general rule issues which have not been raised in the trial court will not be reviewed on appeal." Scott v. Pacific Maritime Ass'n, 695 F.2d 1199, 1203 (9th Cir.1983).
