Ruling
Debtors could not claim vehicle ownership expense for vehicle owned free and clear and resulting adjusted income required dismissal.
Procedural posture
The United States trustee moved to dismiss the debtors'chapter 7 petition, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 707(b)(2), arguing that the presumption of abuse arose and that the debtors were not allowed to claim a vehicle ownership expense under the Local Standards issued by the IRS, where they presently had no actual vehicle payment for their paid-off vehicles.
