The debtor filed a chapter 13 case pro se. This case was his sixth bankruptcy case and the fourth case in eighteen months. The debtor filed many documents with the Court regarding an ongoing dispute he had with the mortgage company; however, he did not pay the filing fee and failed to file the required schedules, statements, and chapter 13 plan. Based on this failure to fulfill his duties under the Bankruptcy Code, the Court found cause to dismiss the case. In addition, based on the debtor’s conduct in this case and his prior cases, both the chapter 13 trustee and the U.S. Trustee filed motions to dismiss the case with conditions. In dismissing the case, the Court conditioned the dismissal with a bar on refiling for a period of 365 days.
