   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-6045
   Southern District of Iowa   
   [PUBLISHED] [Chief Judge Kressel, Author, with Mahoney and Venters,
   Bankruptcy Judges]
   Bankruptcy Appellate Panel - Chapter 12 confirmation. Bankruptcy
   court's denial of Chapter 12 confirmation plan to debtor farmers
   is affirmed. The bankruptcy court's denial of a continuance after
   debtors fired their attorney was not an abuse of discretion. The
   bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion in denying confirmation
   as the plan did not pass the best interest of creditors test because
   the repayment of unsecured creditors did not include interest and was
   not feasible on its face. Dismissal of the bankruptcy case was not
   an abuse of discretion and the order granting relief from the stay is
   moot.
