OPINION OF THE COURT
This is an appeal by Warren W. Bentz, trustee in bankruptcy, from an order of the district court reversing a decision of the bankruptcy referee.
The district court held that the referee erred in reforming the corporate bankrupt's contract with Rosenthal Rosenthal, Inc., a secured creditor, so that the latter would receive $6,000 less from the receiver's sale of its collateral than the amount due it under its perfected security agreement. In reversing the referee, the district court also held that Rosenthal was entitled to reasonable compensation for attorney's services rendered.
We have carefully examined the record and can find no error. We will, therefore, affirm the order of the district court on its well-reasoned opinion. In Matter of Advance Printing Litho Co., 277 F. Supp. 101 (W.D.Pa., 1967).
