1Opinion of the Court
LAMOUTTE, Bankruptcy Judge.
Robert Louis Marrama (the “Debtor” or the “Appellant”) appeals the August 27, 2003 order (the “Order”) entered by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts (the “bankruptcy court”) denying his Verified Notice of Conversion to Chapter 13 (the “Notice”). The issue before the Panel is two-fold; that is, whether the bankruptcy court may deny a Chapter 7 debtor the right to convert a Chapter 7 case to Chapter 13, and if so, whether the bankruptcy court was correct in doing so under the particular facts of this case. We affirm.
