United States Eleventh Circuit

In a matter where plaintiff-debtor's claims for legal relief arose after confirmation but before completion of his plan to pay creditors and where plaintiff was required to amend his schedule of assets to disclose proceeds of any settlement of those claims, judgment in favor of defendant-trustee is affirmed where: 1) the plain text of 11 U.S.C. section 1306(a) establishes that plaintiff's claims are property of the estate; and 2) the bankruptcy court has the discretion to require an amendment of the debtors' schedule of assets under Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 1009.
