Case Summary:
On remand of district court’s order reversing prior order granting discharge of student loan debts, the bankruptcy court again considered the debtor’s financial condition.  Debtor did not have significant income, and had in fact been unemployed for a period of time.  The court concluded that the debtor had demonstrated an “undue hardship” within the meaning of U.S.C. § 523(a)(8).  The court also rejected the suggestion that the court could further defer or reduce the debtor’s loan obligations.
