Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Decided July 30, 2008No. 06-2114PublishedCited by 35 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
Affirmed by published opinion. Senior Judge HANSEN wrote the opinion, in which Judge TRAXLER and Senior Judge HAMILTON joined.
HANSEN, Senior Circuit Judge:
Roberta Spence appeals the judgment of the district court, which reversed the bankruptcy court’s decision to discharge her federally guaranteed student loan debt to the Educational Credit Management Corporation (ECMC). The district court concluded that Ms. Spence has not demonstrated that repayment “would impose an undue hardship” within the meaning of the statute. 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(8) (2000). We affirm the judgment of the district court.
