MEMORANDUM
RALPH H. KELLEY, Chief Judge.
Before the debtor, Homer Clyde Norris, filed for bankruptcy, he sold hunting and fishing licenses for the state of Tennessee. The plaintiff, Safeco, issued a $10,000 surety bond to repay the state if the debtor failed to pay the fees he collected or failed to account for the licenses he received. The debtor failed to pay the state for licenses sold or not returned, and as a result, Safeco was compelled to pay the state the full amount of the bond. Safeco now has a $10,000 claim against the debtor.
Safeco alleges that the $10,000 claim was not discharged…
