    No. 00-16169.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted Jan. 8, 2001.
    Decided Jan. 24, 2001.
    
      Before BEEZER, O’SCANNLAIN, and KLEINFELD, Circuit Judges.
    
      
      . The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

William P. Drysdale appeals the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel’s decision affirming the bankruptcy court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Educational Credit Management Corporation on his claim alleging the dischargability of a consolidated loan under 11 U.S.C. § 523(A)(8)(a). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 158(d), and we affirm.

We review de novo the bankruptcy court’s grant of summary judgment. See Danning v. Miller (In re Bullion Reserve of N. Am.), 922 F.2d 544, 546 (9th Cir. 1991).

Because the loan Drysdale seeks to discharge first became due within five years from the filing of his bankruptcy petition, the bankruptcy court did not err by granting summary judgment. See 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(8)(A)(1990).

We have considered Drysdale’s remaining contentions and find them without merit.

AFFIRMED.
