MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
EUGENE R. WEDOFF, Bankruptcy Judge.
This closed Chapter 13 case is before the court on the motion of the United States of America to reopen the ease and vacate the debtor’s discharge. The government seeks this relief on the ground that the debtor’s Chapter 13 plan failed to provide for full payment of late-filed priority claims. As set forth below, the motion must be denied because it constitutes an improper collateral attack on the order of discharge and the order confirming the debtor’s plan.
