Most likely the answer is "Yes". The fact that a claim against you has been converted into a judgment does not mean the debt cannot be discharged. However, if the claim underlying the judgment was for taxes, fraud, damages related to drunk driving, or even a domestic support obligation (which would be unlikely in federal court), then the underlying claim may not be able to be discharged. But it the claim was simply for money borrowed or owed, then it should be "dischargeable" in a bankruptcy.
Good Luck.
