9th Cir.
11-1702

The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel affirmed a bankruptcy court order dismissing a chapter 7 case. The court held that debtors’ chapter 7 bankruptcy case was subject to dismissal for “abuse” where they had the ability to repay their creditors in light of a substantial post-petition increase in income and the bankruptcy court’s disallowance of certain adjustments to income that the debtors had claimed.
