In re Christensen

Ruling
Debtor could not reopen no asset case to add unscheduled creditors whose claims were already effectively discharged.
Procedural posture
Debtor filed a petition under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the court entered an order discharging debts the debtor owed. Two years after he received a discharge, the debtor filed a motion for an order under 11 U.S.C.S. § 350(b) which allowed him to reopen his case so he could amend his schedules by adding as creditors, two people who obtained a default judgment against him. The creditors opposed the motion.
