Issue:
Whether the creditor plaintiff was entitled to summary judgment concerning the nondischargeability of its claim under 11 U.S.C. ยง523(a)(4)?

No, the Court denied the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment. Although a fiduciary relationship existed between the debtor and the plaintiff, genuine issues of material fact remained concerning whether the debt was incurred as a result of the debtor's fraud, defalcation, or embezzlement.
