Before LIVELY, JOLLY and HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judges.


E. GRADY JOLLY, Circuit Judge:

In this appeal, we must decide whether the discharge in bankruptcy, as time-barred, of a constitutional tort claim of a plaintiff, who has knowledge of the pendency of the bankruptcy case only eighteen days before the bar date, unconstitutionally deprives the plaintiff of property without due process of law. We hold that the requirements of constitutional procedural due process were satisfied in this case.
