JENIFFER DIANE RABB : Case No. 05-27049PM
: Chapter 13

MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
This case is before the court on the Debtor’s Motion to reopen her bankruptcy case under
Chapter 13 that was dismissed on account of her failure to pay filing fees. The Motion is
opposed by Mervyn A. Schwedt, the holder of more than one-third of the filed unsecured claims
without priority. Following the dismissal of the case, the court denied the Motion to reconsider
the Order dismissing the case because Debtor had failed to make all payments required under the
Plan and was said to have failed to produce copies of her tax returns for the years 1999 through
2004.
At the time of filing this case, Debtor was not represented by counsel, possibly thinking
because she had handled an earlier case under Chapter 7 without counsel that was filed April 15,
2002, and resulted in a discharge, that she was capable of doing it again. However, a second case
filed by her under Chapter 13 was dismissed by Judge Keir following her failure to file a Chapter
13 Plan.
Considering all of the facts and circumstances presented, including the marshaling of
various documents by counsel for the Debtor, the court will enter an order reopening the case
under Chapter 13 and vacating the Order of dismissal.
