http://www.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/043220p.pdf
Held, state court criminal restitution order is not dischargeable in bankruptcy. The court said that sec. 523 (a)(7) "preserves from discharge any condition that a state criminal court imposes as part of a criminal sentence." (emphasis in original). The court said that this was a matter of first impression in the courts of appeals. David Scholl was the debtor's attorney.
