Order Denying Request for Dismissal
UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
In re 	Case No. 09-48880 EDJ
Chapter 7
RONALD A. GRANT,
Debtor./
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR DISMISSAL
The above captioned case was filed under chapter 11 of the
bankruptcy code on September 23, 2009. 	At a February 11, 2010
status conference, at which debtor failed to appear, the court
converted the case to one under chapter 7 on its own motion. 	Ronald
Grant, the above-named debtor (the “debtor”) subsequently filed a
“Request for Dismissal of Chapter 13 Case.” 	Good cause appearing,
it is
ORDERED as follows:

The request for dismissal is DENIED because the debtor’s
case is not one under chapter 13 of the bankruptcy code. 1
Signed: April 20, 2010

even if this case were in chapter 13, prior conversion of the
case from chapter 11 would preclude voluntary dismissal.
2	Order Denying Request for Dismissal
2. 	Even if debtor’s request were to be construed as a request
for dismissal of the chapter 7 case, denial would nonetheless be
appropriate because the court may dismiss a case under chapter 7
only after notice and a hearing, and only for cause. 	See 11 U.S.C.
§ 707(a).
IT IS SO ORDERED
