Before BUFFINGTON, WOOLLEY, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

BUFFINGTON, Circuit Judge.

Assuming, without deciding, that in this case an appeal lies from the order of the judge holding the petition of the appellants for a reorganization under section 77B, Bankr. Act (11 USCA § 207), was not made in good faith, we find no error in his so holding. It follows, therefore, that the appeal should be, and is, dismissed.
