In re Findley, 387 B.R. 260 (9th Cir. BAP 2008)
    California’s amendment of Business and Professions Code § 6086.10 designating attorney discipline cost awards as “penalties” did not reverse the Ninth Circuit’s decision in In re Taggart, 249 F.3d 987 (9th Cir. 2001), and thus were not non-dischargeable under § 523(a)(7).

In re Taggart, 249 F.3d 987 (9th Cir. 2001)
    Costs (as opposed to sanctions) for California State Bar attorney discipline proceedings are dischargeable.
