Rodney v. Arias (In re Arias)
Mar
16
2012
Ruling
Motion to reopen to add claim for lease payments vacated in light of equitable concerns and questions regarding original omissions from schedules.
Procedural posture
The debtor previously filed a chapter 7 case and received a discharge. Later, the debtor moved to reopen his case under 11 U.S.C.S. § 350(b) to add plaintiff creditors' claim for lease payments, which the court allowed. Here, plaintiff creditors objected to discharge based on their contention that the debt was post-petition, and both parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment.
