In re Hensley

Ruling
Court deemed that notice of claim objection was sufficient since the notice was mailed to the government creditor's notice address state in its proof of claim.
Procedural posture

Putative creditor, the U.S. Department of Education, sought to collect an alleged student loan balance from debtor, who had received a discharge following completion of her chapter 13 plan. The government argued that the discharge judgment was void and it was entitled to relief under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(4), because it was given insufficient notice of the objection to its claim.
