MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
Before the court is an unusual motion, that is, the Motion of the Debtor, Victoria J.
Pulsirisaroth, seeking leave of court to dismiss this case voluntarily because of the existence of
many substantial misstatements and other inaccuracies appearing in her Schedules and Statement
of Financial Affairs. The Debtor states in her Motion that, through an utter failure of
communication between her lawyer and herself, her Statement of Financial Affairs and her
Schedules were replete with serious misstatements. She readily admitted these misstatements of
fact in the course of the meeting of creditors held pursuant to § 341 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Because of these misstatements, the office of the United States Trustee filed a motion to
extend time to file a motion to dismiss for substantial abuse pursuant to § 707(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code and scheduled a motion for examination of the Debtor pursuant to Bankruptcy
Rule 2004 . Dyck-O’Neal, Inc., the holder of a deficiency judgment in the sum of $17,041.91
entered January 10, 2000, opposed the motion to dismiss. The opposition points out numerous
misstatements and describes several unsavory financial transactions conducted by the Debtor. If
these transactions are avoided, then the objecting creditor would be paid in whole or in part.
However, in the circumstances presented here, the court notes that neither the Chapter 7
Trustee nor the office of the United States Trustee opposes this action. If Debtor’s motion to
Date signed December 15, 2005

dismiss is granted, this leaves Dyck-O’Neal, Inc., precisely as it was to the filing of the
bankruptcy case, and, in addition, it is armed with all of the information obtained at the meeting
of creditors. Considering all of the relevant factors, the court will grant the Debtor’s motion to
dismiss. However, the court will condition the dismissal with a bar to refiling under any chapter
of the Bankruptcy Code for a period of one year in order to avoid even the possibility of any
further abuse of the bankruptcy process. An appropriate order will be entered.
