MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER
STRIKING REAFFIRMATION AGREEMENT
The debtor has filed a reaffirmation agreement with Capital
One Bank (USA), N.A. (Docket Entry No. 24, filed February 12,
2009). 	The agreement is ineffective.
The reaffirmation agreement filed by the debtor failed to
explain any discrepancy between the debtor’s expenses listed on
Schedule J and his current monthly expenses, as required by Rule
4008(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure. 	See In re
Jo, 2007 WL 4411619, at *1 (Bankr. E.D. Va. Dec. 14, 2007). 	The
reaffirmation agreement is also untimely under Rule 4008 (a). 	It
is thus
ORDERED that the reaffirmation agreement is stricken.
[Signed and dated above.]
The document below is signed with the reference to "Rule 4008
(a)" changed to "Rule 4008(a)". Dated: February 23, 2009.
