Educational Credit Management Corp. v. Blair (In Re Blair)
United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Ninth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
RYAN, Bankruptcy Judge.
After Theresa Rae Blair (“Debtor”) filed a chapter 7 1 petition, she filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) to discharge her student loan debts (the “Debts”) under § 523(a)(8). After a trial, the bankruptcy court concluded that Debtor did not meet the requirements for dischargeability under § 523(a)(8). However, the court applied its equitable power under § 105(a) and entered an order (the “Order”) granting a partial discharge of the Debts.
The Educational Credit Management Corporation (“ECMC”) timely appealed.
We REVERSE.
