United States Bankruptcy Court, S.D. New York
1Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM DECISION DENYING MOTION TO REOPEN CASE
CECELIA G. MORRIS, Chief Judge.
The chapter 13 trustee moves to reopen a dismissed chapter 13 case. The alleged basis for reopening is a dispute between the trustee and a creditor of the Debtor. The creditor asserts a garnishment over plan payments that the trustee refunded to the Debtor pursuant to section 1326(a)(2)1 upon dismissal of the case. The Court denies the motion to reopen. The trustee followed the clear language of the Bankruptcy Code when he refunded the payments directly to the Debtor.
