MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

JOSEPH M. SCOTT, JR., Bankruptcy Judge.

Where the Debtor did not file bankruptcy based on unforeseeable or catastrophic events, has a stable and relatively high income that includes an ability to eventually fund a Chapter 13 plan with money currently used to make 401(k) loan repayments, and thus has the ability to repay his creditors through a Chapter 13 plan, the Debtor’s case should be dismissed pursuant to § 707(b)(3)(B)…
