MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
PLUNKETT, District Judge.
John A. Betts, an Illinois Attorney, was once suspended from the practice of law for six months and ordered to pay the costs of his disciplinary proceedings. Without paying those costs, Betts filed a petition for bankruptcy. The Bankruptcy Court found that those costs were not dischargeable, and Betts appeals. The dischargeability of those costs under the Bankruptcy Code is the sole meritorious issue before us today. For the reasons stated below, we affirm the finding of the Bankruptcy Court.
