Howard v. Lexington Investments, Inc.

Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

Decided April 2, 2002No. 01-2558PublishedCited by 39 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

LEVIN H. CAMPBELL, Senior Circuit Judge.

Peggy Howard (“Howard”) appeals from the district court’s affirmance of the order of the bankruptcy court dismissing her Chapter 13 petition and overruling her objection to the proof of claim of Lexington Investments, Inc. (“Lexington”). We affirm, holding that Howard’s non-compliance with the bankruptcy court’s order to file state tax returns by a specified date provided an adequate ground for the court to dismiss her Chapter 13 petition and renders moot the issue of whether Lexington’s proof of claim was valid in the Chapter 13 proceeding.
