Bankr. No.:
92-50273
Chapter:
7
Date of Decision:
April 23, 1993
Issue:
Chapter 7 debtor sought dismissal of her case so that she could re-file to include debts incurred post-petition. The United States Trustee objected because discharge had already been entered.
Ruling:
The motion was denied because granting the motion would cause substantial prejudice to creditors. Present creditors' dividend would be reduced and payment would be delayed. The new creditors would be denied the protection of ยง 727(a)(8), which allows a Chapter 7 discharge only every six years. The Code did not authorize to revoke discharge.
