   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-2032
   Appeal from the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Eighth Circuit   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Murphy and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Bankruptcy - discharge under section 523(a)(8). Educational Credit Management Corporation appeals from discharge of student loan under "undue hardship" provision of section 523(a)(8). It was not clear error to consider debtor's financial condition from date of discharge to date debtor sought undue hardship relief. No clear error not to calculate and include husband's part time income in light of parties' stipulation. Even considering errors in stipulated gross adjusted income figures, the expenses outstrip available resources. Despite concerns about the reasonableness of expenses, in light of overall circumstances, excepting student loan debt from discharge would impose an undue hardship. Judge Colloton concurs in the judgment.
