The following excerpt is from Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC v. Marino (In re Marino), 577 B.R. 772 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 2017):
We review de novo questions of law, including whether the bankruptcy court applied the correct legal standard. See Drummond v. Welsh (In re Welsh), 465 B.R. 843, 847 (9th Cir. BAP 2012), aff'd, 711 F.3d 1120 (9th Cir. 2013). De novo review requires that we consider a matter anew, as if no decision had been rendered previously. United States v. Silverman, 861 F.2d 571, 576 (9th Cir. 1988).
