In re Reece (Case No. 11-51044) 08/20/2013

The debtors sought dismissal of the United States Trustee’s motion to dismiss because, according to the debtors, (1) section 707(b) does not apply to cases converted to chapter 7, and (2) section 707(a) is inapplicable to dismiss a case for “bad faith.”  The court concluded that a case originally filed under chapter 13 and subsequently converted to chapter 7 is subject to 11 U.S.C. § 707(b) and that cause to dismiss a case pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 707(a) includes bad faith.
