Ruling
Bankruptcy petition preparer fined, but not enjoined from filing further petitions, for doing more than simply filling out petitions.
Procedural posture
A debtor filed for relief under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, and a petition was prepared on his behalf by a preparer. The court issued a sua sponte order directing the preparer to appear and show cause why she should not be enjoined from filing further petitions or other papers with the court for engaging in the unauthorized practice of law and violating 11 U.S.C.S. § 110, why $400 paid to her should not be refunded.
