District Court, W.D. Virginia January 18, 2002, 1:01CV00125 (Tennessee Student Assistance Corp. v. Mort (In Re Mort))

OPINION

JONES, District Judge.

The question in this appeal is whether the bankruptcy court had the power to partially discharge the debtor’s student loan indebtedness, even though the debtor had not met the applicable test showing that the debt would impose an undue hardship on her. I find that the bankruptcy court erred in partially discharging the debt and thus reverse.
