In re Casto (19-40800-JTL)

This matter required the Court to determine whether the Court could permit the modification of a debtor's plan to distribute an asset of the estate beyond the five-year restriction in § 1329(c). The Court found that the plain language of the statute did not allow it. Because the creditor-movant could not be afforded relief in the Chapter 13 case, the Court found that closure of the debtor's bankruptcy case was appropriate.
