In re Necaise

Ruling
Chapter 11 case closed three months after plan confirmation as fully administered but early discharge denied.
Procedural posture

The chapter 11 debtor moved for a grant of discharge and for entry of a final decree closing his case prior to the completion of all payments under his confirmed plan, pursuant to 11 U.S.C.S. § 1141(d)(5), thereby relieving him of his obligation to pay quarterly fees to the United States trustee. Alternatively, he sought to close the case without a discharge, subject to reopening for the entry of a final decree.
