Are there any exceptions to the deadline set forth in 727(e)?

Holly:
See FRBP 9024 which states that FRCP 60 (which allows extension of time for newly discovered evidence which could not reasonably have been discovered earlier) does not apply to 727(e).
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

I don't know what opposite really means but the contrapositive is always
logically true.
If the case had assets which were distributed *to creditors* then
unscheduled debt is basically nondischargeable (some showings need to be
made).
There is a gray area because (1) this is not math or logic and (2) the law
of excluded middle does not apply to these types of things. An obvious
example is what if it's an "asset case" but no distributions where made to
creditors because the case is administratively insolvent. This issue is
undecided in this circuit and I don't believe it's been decided in *any*
circuit.
I'd be curious to find out what a Trustee can do if it finds a hidden asset
3 years after the debtor was discharged and the case was closed. I bet you
if it is worth a lot of $$ there would at least be some litigation to
administer the asset. I would also bet there are some white collar crime
issues in this fact pattern.

So even though *In re Beezely *holds that an unscheduled debt is still
discharged in a "no asset" case, we cannot necessarily read this to mean
the opposite is true, i.e., that an unscheduled debt in an *asset* case is
NOT discharged. Such an unscheduled debt is discharged notwithstanding that
the asset had not been disclosed, and may have not been discovered for 3
years after discharge, since it is too late to revoke the discharge under
727(d)/(e). So, the CH 7 Tee can still administer the asset, but the debt
is still discharged.
Am I reading this right?

What if creditor or trustee finds out 3 years after discharge that the
debtor hid a bunch of assets? Is he still barred by 727(e) from filing a
case to revoke the discharge because of the one year limitation?
