federal, United States of America
The following excerpt is from In re Nascimento, 241 BR 440 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 1999):
The bankruptcy court's findings of fact are reviewed under a clearly erroneous standard. In re Pena, 155 F.3d 1108, 1110 (9th Cir.1998). Where there are two permissible views of the evidence, the factfinder's choice between them cannot be clearly erroneous. Anderson v. City of Bessemer City, N.C., 470 U.S. 564, 574, 105 S.Ct. 1504, 84 L.Ed.2d 518 (1985).
