In re Sloan

Ruling
Trustee could reopen case and withdraw report of distribution in order to administer preoviously undisclosed employment discrimination action.
Procedural posture

After a trustee was notified of a debtor's pending employment discrimination action, he filed a motion to reopen the debtor's bankruptcy case under 11 U.S.C. § 350(b) and to withdraw the report of distribution. The debtor had not disclosed the action in his bankruptcy schedules or any other filings; thus, the trustee was unaware of the asset and did not administer it before the court granted the debtor his discharge and closed the case.
