Reversed and remanded
Dist. Ct. erred in reversing Bankruptcy Judge order that discharged debtor’s student loan debt after finding that debtor established undue hardship if said debt was not discharged in her bankruptcy proceeding. Record showed that debtor could not presently or in foreseeable future pay student loans, and that plaintiff lived with parent in rural area, where few jobs were available, and lacked Internet access and transportation to assist her in job search.
