In re Brown (Case No. 13-70356) 01/24/2014

            The United States Trustee filed a motion for an order requiring an alleged bankruptcy petition preparer to disgorge fees received from the debtor, pay damages to the debtor, and be fined for each violation of section 110 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The court found that Mr. Jennings had functioned as an undisclosed bankruptcy petition preparer.  The court determined that the $2,000 amount set forth in section 110(i)(1)(B)(i) was applicable.  The court also imposed a fine of $500 because the failure to disclose was intentional; such amount was tripled pursuant to section 110(b)(2) and paid to the Office of the United States Trustee pursuant to section 110(l)(4)(A).
