In re Harris

Ruling
Court sustained trustee's objection to creditor's late-filed proof of claim since creditor could not invoke Rule 5005(c)'s exception for erroneous filing or Rule 3002(c)'s equitable exception.
Procedural posture

The chapter 13 trustee objected to a claim filed by creditor because it was filed after the claims bar date. In response, the creditor contended that, for equitable reasons, the court should rely on Fed. R. Bankr. P. 5005(c) and treat the claim as having been timely filed or should consider it as an amendment to an earlier, informal proof of claim which related back to the earlier date.
