DECISION
CARLA E. CRAIG, Chief United States Bankruptcy Judge
This matter comes before the Court on the motion of John Desiderio (the “Plaintiff’) for summary judgment denying Viki Devani (the “Debtor”) a discharge pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 727(a)(3), (a)(4)(A), (a)(5), and (a)(6).1 The uncontested facts establish that the Debtor “failed to keep or preserve any recorded information, including books, documents, records, and papers from which [his] financial condition or business transactions might be ascertained,” and therefore, the Debtor is denied a discharge under § 727(a)(3).
