In Re Desiderio

United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. Pennsylvania

OPINION

DAVID A. SCHOLL, Chief Judge.

A. INTRODUCTION

The current controversy involves a creditor’s timely motion for an extension of time to file a complaint challenging the Debtor’s discharge in this bankruptcy ease and the dischargeability of its particular debt. We believe that the “cause” required to prevail on such a motion must include a showing of a reasonable degree of “due diligence” on the part of the creditor in utilizing tools available to investigate such a claim. Finding such “due diligence” absent here, the motion is denied.
