MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
This case is before the court on the Chapter 13 Trustee’s Motion to Dismiss this case
originally filed under Chapter 7, and subsequently converted to a case under Chapter 13. The
Trustee’s Motion is based on Debtor’s failure to make approximately 9.8 Plan payments, for an
aggregate amount due of $5,417.00. The Debtor is making payments pursuant to an Amended
Employee Payment Order of $1,017.00 per month under her step-payment plan. The Debtor will
not be able to receive a discharge until she makes the full payment of $46,212.00 required under
her confirmed Plan. Under Section 1322(d) of the Bankruptcy Code that was in effect at the
time of the filing of this case on August 26, 2004, the court cannot approve a plan proposed for a
period longer than five years.
Debtor, in response to the Motion to Dismiss, explains that she paid $5,000.00 to an
attorney to provide certain services to her in connection with this case and a pending restitution
matter and that the attorney failed to provide any legal services. This amount is slightly less than
the amount of the missing Plan payments. The court has examined the papers submitted by the
Debtor under seal and notes that the attorney in question, Aaron D. Weinrauch, was disbarred
by consent from the practice of law in the State Courts in Maryland by Order of the Court of
Appeals of Maryland entered August 27, 2008. Attorney Grievance Commission of Maryland v.

Weinrauch, 955 A.2d 269 (Md. 2008). He will shortly have his name stricken from the roster of
attorneys entitled to practice in this court. In the meantime, Mr. Weinrauch is suspended from
practice before this court. The court is further advised that the Debtor has paid the outstanding
debt to the Department of Parole and Probation in connection with the restitution matter
mentioned above, and, further, that the secured loan of Sun Trust Bank has been paid in full.
In the light of the foregoing, the court is of the opinion that the Debtor will be able to
make up the missing payments over the remaining term of the Plan. Her obligation to make the
full funding required by the Plan continues whether or not she is able to obtain compensation
from the Clients Protection Fund of the Bar of Maryland established under Maryland Rule 16-
811.
An appropriate order will be entered.
