156035P.pdf   09/29/2016  Paul Hansmeier  v.  Daniel McDermott
   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.
