Smith v. Gletzer (In re Smith)

Nov
05
2007
Ruling
Bankruptcy court denial of voluntary dismissal vacated where debtor proposed to pay all debts in full immediately.
Procedural posture

The bankruptcy court -- at the request of the chapter 7 trustee -- ordered the removal of debtor's preferred choice of special personal injury ("PI") counsel and then denied debtor's motion to dismiss her bankruptcy case, even though she had arranged to pay all of her debts in full in an attempt to have her preferred counsel continue to prosecute the PI case. The District Court for the Eastern District of New York affirmed. Appeals were filed.
