Brown v. Harrington, No. 22-1314 (1st Cir. 2022)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed the judgment of the bankruptcy court dismissing Appellant's voluntary petition for relief under title 11 of the United States Code, holding that the district court did not err in dismissing the petition on the ground that Appellant failed to serve certain quarterly reports on the United States Trustee pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court's confirmation order.
The bankruptcy court dismissed Appellant's case on two grounds - that he failed to pay certain fees to the U.S. Trustee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1930(a)(6) and that he failed to serve the quarterly reports on the U.S. Trustee. The First Circuit affirmed on the second of the two grounds, holding that the bankruptcy court did not err by dismissing Appellant's case for failure to comply with the confirmation order because that order required that Appellant serve quarterly reports on the U.S. Trustee only while his case was "open."
