Ronald Bias v. Tangipahoa Parish School Board
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, No. 17-30982 · judgment March 22, 2019
Before the decision, about 2.4× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Fifth Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition).
Question presented
Does the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal’s precedent that all Chapter 13 debtors have a continuing duty to disclose all post-confirmation claims offend the First and Fifth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution be cause it contravenes clear and unambiguous law and regulations granting some Chapter 13 debtors stand ing to pursue all post-confirmation claims without the court’s permission? If a debtor has standing to pursue a post confirmation claim without court permission, does this standing overcome judicial estoppel issues? If a debtor is in compliance with bankruptcy code and regulations, and if the confirmed plan to which he is bound does not require disclosure of post confirmation claims, is it possible that he can be said to have taken an inconsistent position for his nondis closure of a post-confirmation claim? ;’’C13V7ri03fCi s bp; i; m
