Case No. 06-40196.United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. Indiana, Hammond Division, at Lafayette.
July 27, 2006
DECISION AND ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM ORDER
ROBERT GRANT, Bankruptcy Judge
Knowing the requirements of a court’s local rules and yet failing to take any action to see that those rules had been complied with — such as by double checking what had and had not been filed in this case — does not constitute excusable neglect sufficient to justify vacating the order of dismissal in this case. This is especially so since the dismissal was without prejudice and there is no impediment to the debtor filing another case. The debtor’s motion for relief from the order dismissing this case is therefore DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
