In Re Gullone
United States Bankruptcy Court, D. New Jersey
1Opinion of the Court
JUDITH H. WIZMUR, Bankruptcy Judge.
The debtor moves to reopen his Chapter 7 case to declare that a debt due to his former employer is discharged. The debt was not listed on the debtor’s schedules, and was reduced to judgment after the debtor’s case was closed. I must determine whether the debt was a pre-petition claim which may be discharged, or a claim which arose after the debtor’s bankruptcy filing, which may not be discharged. For the reasons expressed, I conclude that the debt arose pre-petition, and may be discharged.
