In re Swiatkowski

Ruling
Case dismissed due to debtor's failure to obtain credit counseling or file a timely, legitimate request for exemption.
Procedural posture

The chapter 13 trustee filed a motion to dismiss the debtor's case on the ground that the debtor was not eligible to be a debtor pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 109(h)(1) because of his failure to comply with the credit counseling requirement. Although other matters were pending, the court's disposition of the motion to dismiss obviated the need to consider these other matters.
