Ruling
Bankruptcy court may excuse debtor's compliance with disclosure requirements.
Procedural posture
Appellees, debtors, filed a joint chapter 7 petition. When appellant trustee proposed settlement of the debtors' chose in action, the debtors moved for dismissal under 11 U.S.C.S. § 521(i)(2). The bankruptcy court denied the debtors' motion to dismiss and excused the detailed disclosure by ordering the debtors to do "otherwise" under § 521(a)(1)(B). The United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico reversed. The trustee appealed.
