Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

Under *In re Blendheim, 803 F.3d 477 (2015), having simultaneous cases is
not per se impermissible. in that case, the debtor a 13 was filed right
after a discharge was entered and before the case had been closed. *
*If a spouse has filed a 13 by herself, but she and her husband change
their minds and want instead to get relief under Chapter 11 but want to
have a joint petition to avoid any issues in the future, do you see any
problem with filing a new Chapter 11 case within seconds of filing a
request for dismissal without waiting for the court to enter the dismissal
of the wife's case. I think it is equivalent to Blendheim since the Court
"shall" enter dismissal under 1307. Here, a previously impending
foreclosure sale has been postponed for weeks and the stay in the wife's
case is still effective, but we don't want to risk any relief from stay
motion that would render the wife ineligible in the meantime and, frankly,
just want to get on with it. *
