IN RE: LAURA L. REPPERT (2022)

Chapter 13

Related to Dkt. Nos. 60, 64-66, 69, 73-74 and 79

ORDER

This matter came before the Court upon an Order to Show Cause why, among other things, the Debtor's now-completed chapter 13 case should not be dismissed with prejudice for her failure to promptly disclose a substantial post-petition asset [Dkt. No. 70] and the responses thereto filed by the debtor Laura L. Reppert [Dkt. No. 73] and Ronda Winnecour, the chapter 13 trustee [Dkt. No. 74]. In accordance with the Memorandum Opinion of even date, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that:

1. The above-captioned bankruptcy case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 105(a) and 349(a) and applicable law, Laura L. Reppert is hereby prohibited and enjoined from filing another bankruptcy case for a period of two years from the date of this Order.

2. The Debtor remains legally liable for all her debts as if the bankruptcy petition had not been filed. Creditor collection remedies are reinstated pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 349. Creditors are directed to 11 U.S.C. § 108(c) for time limits on filing a lawsuit to collect. Generally, a creditor's lawsuit must be filed either before the time deadline imposed by state law for filing runs, or 30 days after the date of this Order, whichever is later.

3. The chapter 13 trustee is authorized to distribute any funds on hand towards the payment of any unpaid administrative fees. The remainder shall be returned to the debtor.

4. The Court retains jurisdiction over the chapter 13 trustee's final report and account and the chapter 13 trustee's certificate of distributed funds. Following submission of a final accounting and certification of distributed funds, the chapter 13 trustee shall be deemed discharged from her duties in this case, and this case shall be deemed closed without further Order of Court.

5. The Clerk of Court shall give notice to all creditors of this dismissal.

ENTERED at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
