1Opinion of the Court
JOHNSON, Bankruptcy Judge.
The issue presented on this appeal is whether the bankruptcy court abused its discretion in refusing to reopen a closed bankruptcy case in order to grant a creditor an extension of time to file a complaint to determine the dischargeability of its claim.
We affirm.
The debtors filed a joint Chapter 7 petition on July 18,1980. On July 23, 1980 the court set August 18, 1980 as the date for the first meeting of creditors and September 18, 1980 as the last date for filing complaints to determine dischargeability of debts under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(2), (4) or (6). 1
