    Donald M. Stevenson, Stockton, CA, for the appellant.

    Larry J. Cox, Rocklin, CA, for the appellee.

    Appeal from the Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel; Brandt, Perris, and Smith, Bankruptcy Judges, Presiding. BAP No. EC-03-01490-SPB.

    Before WILLIAM C. CANBY, JR., JOHN T. NOONAN, and RICHARD A. PAEZ, Circuit Judges.

    OPINION

    PER CURIAM.

    1

    Ohio University appeals the judgment of the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (BAP) discharging Hawkins from a debt resulting from a judgment against her for breach of contract with the university. The BAP held that this debt and the resulting judgment did not meet the criteria for a loan or educational benefit that are excluded from discharge under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(8).

    2

    We adopt the opinion of the BAP, which is reported at 317 B.R. 104, and affirm its judgment.
