Benafel v. One West Bank, FSB (In Re Benafel)
United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Ninth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
PAPPAS, Bankruptcy Judge.
Appellant, chapter 13 2 debtor Mary C. Benafel (“Benafel”), appeals the bankruptcy court’s orders denying confirmation of her original plan on December 22, 2010, and confirming her amended plan on February 11, 2011. Because the bankruptcy court erred in ruling that the date for determining whether real property is a debtor’s principal residence for purposes of § 1322(b)(2) is the loan transaction date, not the petition date, we REVERSE and REMAND for further proceedings consistent with this Opinion.
