(00-CV-2688)
August 21, 2001

Williams contends that her debt due to the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance
(“LOFSA”) for the amount of $16,331.17 incurred in higher education loans were discharged
pursuant to her July 25, 1997, petition for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Our review of the record,
however, indicates that there is no legal basis to support any of Williams’ arguments to this Court.
We, therefore, affirm the district and bankruptcy courts’ rulings and dismiss Williams’
complaint with prejudice. Furthermore, we affirm the court’s rulings t hat Williams’ loans are not
excepted from discharge and that they constitute valid and enforceable obligations that are held by
LOFSA.
Williams’ motion for stay and injunction pending appeal is denied.
AFFIRMED.
