Tolley v. Obaugh Ford, Inc. (In re Tolley) (Case No. 07-50514; A.P. No. 07-05031) 5/27/2008

Debtor's appeal of counterclaim from Va. General District Court did not include appeal of judgment against debtor. Accordingly, the judgment became final and debtor could not void the judgment lien under section 506(d) in the bankruptcy proceeding eight years later. An appeal from the general district court is de novo only for the specific claims appealed. All other judgments and conclusions become final if not appealed.
