U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-6034
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Schermer, Author, with Kressel, Chief Judge, and
Nail, Bankruptcy Judge]
Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. The bankruptcy court did not err in
rejecting debtor's initial plan as it would have given special treatment to
their state and federal tax claims, unfairly discriminating against other
unsecured non-priority creditors; nor did the court err in approving the
debtors' amended Chapter 13 plan that did not provide for payment of the
unsecured non-priority tax claims and tax preparation fees ahead of the
other non-priority unsecured creditors.
