VAN GRAAFEILAND, Circuit Judge
(concurring):
I concur in the holding that the contingent claim of the State was dis-chargeable in appellee’s bankruptcy proceedings. My only concern is that the bankruptcy judge did not attempt to liquidate the contingency or estimate the amount thereof as required by section 57d of the Bankruptcy Act, 11 U.S.C. § 93(d). The claim, as allowed, was for the amount due and owing at the time of the bankruptcy.
However, since appellee’s motion to amend his schedules to include the full *179amount of the possible contingent liability was not concurred in by the State, it has no cause to complain.
Proper procedures in future cases would, I believe, include an evaluation of the contingent liability by the bankruptcy judge.
