United States First Circuit

In proceedings arising after a bankruptcy discharge, in which a creditor argued that it did not receive proper notice of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, denial of corporate debtor's motion to hold creditor in contempt for pursuing its claims is affirmed where: 1) appellee was a "known creditor"; and 2) a known creditor's general awareness of a pending Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding is insufficient to satisfy the requirements of due process and render a discharge injunction applicable to the creditor's claims.
