The following excerpt is from In Re: Superior Stamp & Coin Co., 223 F.3d 1004 (9th Cir. 2000):
We review the district court's decision on appeal from the bankruptcy court de novo. See Preblich v. Battley, 181 F.3d 1048, 1051 (9th Cir. 1999). Thus, we apply a clearly erroneous standard to the bankruptcy court's findings of fact and review its conclusions of law de novo. See id. The issues we decide here are all matters of law.2
