2007
Ruling
Bankruptcy court erred in failing to conduct excusable conduct inquiry into debtor's failure to file certificate of compliance with credit counseling requirement.
Procedural posture
Appellant joint chapter 7 debtors appealed from two orders entered by a bankruptcy court, which denied their motion to reopen their bankruptcy case and their subsequent motion for reconsideration. The debtors filed the motions after the bankruptcy court, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 727(a)(11), closed their bankruptcy case due to their failure to timely comply with Interim Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1007(c). Appellee trustee did not respond to the appeal.
