In re Scipio (Case No. 15-50110)

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

Motion to impose the automatic stay denied when the debtor did not overcome the presumption that he filed his petition in bad faith. The debtor filed three petitions within a single year. The debtor's timing and motive in filing the three petitions, the effect of his petitions on the most significant creditor, the reasons his prevoius cases were dismissed, the likelihood that he will have steady income, and the objections of interested parties all weigh against imposing the automatic stay. Additionally, the nature of the debtor's debt, a note on which he is not liable, also counsels against imposing the stay.
