1Opinion of the Court
JOHNSON, Circuit Judge:
This is a no-asset bankruptcy case. Clayton and Jeannine Stone filed a voluntary petition for relief in October of 1987; however, they inadvertently omitted several creditors from their section 521(1) 1 schedules. Although the Stones amended the schedules to include those creditors prior to the final discharge of the case, the bankruptcy court ruled that the debt was nondischargeable under section 523(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Stones appealed; the district court affirmed; this Court reverses.
