                                2
PER CURIAM:

            Fatemeh   Najafian   appeals    the   district    court’s   order

affirming the bankruptcy court’s order denying her a hardship

discharge of student loan debt pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(8)

(2006).     We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.    Accordingly, we grant Najafian’s motion to proceed in

forma pauperis and affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.    Najafian v. Educ. Credit Mgmt, No. 1:12-cv-01408-AJT-TCB

(E.D. Va. Apr. 5, 2013).       We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials   before    this   court   and   argument   would    not   aid   the

decisional process.

                                                                     AFFIRMED
