It should not. The bankruptcy is all that should show up. Notify the big three credit reporting agencies that the judgment was listed in a bankruptcy. You may have to obtain a copy of your bankruptcy schedules to show that it was listed. I do not think it is necessary anymore to clear the state court docket by filing a copy of the discharge with the court that entered the judgment.
