Description
ARGUED SEPTEMBER 8, 2004 Appellant-Creditor Travis Boats & Motors, Incorporated (""Travis Boats""), appeals from a bankruptcy court order that disallowed its claim in the Outboard Marine Corporation (""OMC"") Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding for failure to timely file a proof of claim. The Notice of Claims Bar Date required creditors to mail their proofs of claim to a designated post office box so as to be received by the OMC claims agent by November 15, 2002. Travis Boats faxed its proof of claim to counsel for the OMC bankruptcy trustee on November 15, 2002. The trustee objected to the claim as untimely, and the bankruptcy court sustained the objection, disallowing Travis Boats' claim. The district court affirmed. We affirm the bankruptcy court's conclusion about the timeliness of Travis Boats' claim, but we reverse the court's decision to disallow the claim.
