United States Ninth Circuit

The bankruptcy court did not err in granting a partial discharge of the debtor's student loans under 11 U.S.C. section 523(a)(8), and the district court's judgment holding otherwise is reversed and remanded, where: 1) the district court erred by reviewing the bankruptcy court's good faith finding de novo, rather than for clear error; and 2) the bankruptcy court's finding of good faith was not clearly erroneous.
