Task: Wrong Candidate Generation
Input (English): had concealed valuable jewelry. See In re Alvarez, No. 10-45709, 2011 WL 5593176 (Bankr.S.D.Fla. Oct. 25, 2011). In response, the debtor moved to convert the case to a case under Chapter 13. The court in Alvarez denied the debtor’s motion to convert, finding that the debtor had made misleading statements in an effort to defraud creditors. Mercado and Alvarez provide useful examples of the kind of conduct that will result in the denial of a motion to convert. The Court is looking for proof of a materially false statement made with the purpose of defrauding creditors. 2. The Burden of Proof It is well established that when a debtor seeks to confirm her Chapter 13 Plan, the burden is on her to prove her good faith. 11 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(3); In re Smith, 328 B.R. 797, 801 (Bankr.W.D.Mo.2005) (<HOLDING>); see also In re Kearney, 439 B.R. 694, 697-98
