U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-6035
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Nail, Author, with Schermer and Shodeen, Bankruptcy Judges]
Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. The Bankruptcy Court did not abuse its
discretion in granting the trustee's motion to convert the case from a
chapter 13 to a chapter 7; as there were no issues of material fact
concerning conversion, a hearing was not required; the evidence fully
supported the court's decision to convert the case as debtor had failed to
submit a confirmable chapter 13 plan, had made fraudulent and incomplete
representations to mislead the court and had unfairly manipulated the
bankruptcy code to avoid having to disclose financial information in state
court proceedings.
