Case No. 16-00094

In re STEPHEN M. SEABRON, Debtor.
(Chapter 13)
Not for publication in West's Bankruptcy Reporter.
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER DENYING MOTION TO CONVERT CASE TO CHAPTER 11
The debtor seeks, after a chapter 13 plan was confirmed, to convert his case to chapter 11. However, 11 U.S.C. § 1307(d) only permits a case to be converted to chapter 11 "at any time before the confirmation of a plan under section 1325," and thus the case may not be converted from chapter 13 to chapter 11. See In re Krandell, 311 B.R. 438, 439 (Bankr. D. Md. 2004). See also In re Henning, 420 B.R. 773, 782-83 (Bankr. W.D. Tenn. 2009). It is thus
ORDERED that the debtor's Motion to Convert Case From Chapter 13 to 11 (Dkt. No. 125) is DENIED. Signed: August 18, 2016
