In re Spore, Case No. 83-00002-11 (06/30/1989) (105 B.R. 476) -- Judge Thomas S. Utschig

Case Summary:
Parties sought court determination regarding validity and extent of judgment lien on nonexempt real estate of debtors who had received chapter 7 discharge.  Court holds that bankruptcy court discharge voided judgment against debtors.  Further, state court's subsequent order of satisfaction -- granted pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 806.19(4) providing for satisfaction of judgments upon showing of bankruptcy discharge -- voided judgment lien on nonexempt real estate.  Judgment lien is voided pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 806.21, which provides for voiding of lien upon satisfaction of judgment.
