A, hereinafter “Bankruptcy Court Order”) dismissing Appellant Charles A. Pecoraro’s (“Pecoraro” or “Appellant”) Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, Case No. 17-35061 (CGM). Pecoraro brings this appeal against the Chapter 13 Trustee, Krista M. Preuss (hereinafter, “Appellant” or “Trustee”). Pecoraro filed the instant appeal on August 25, 2022. (ECF No. 1.) For the following reasons, the Bankruptcy Court’s Order is AFFIRMED in its entirety. BACKGROUND The following facts are derived from the Court’s review of the underlying Bankruptcy Court docket.

Pecoraro, an individual residing in New Paltz, NY, filed a Chapter 13 petition in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on January 19, 2017. (Bankruptcy Court Docket, ECF No. 1.)
