Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the purpose of the final report in a chapter 13 case is to insure that the trustee has fully administered the estate, and if payment of claims in accordance with the plan is an element of administering the estate, one would expect the court to issue the debtor’s discharge after it approves the final report. [Citations omitted] Logic suggests that the entry of a chapter 13 discharge, like approval of the final report, hinges upon a showing that claims were paid in accordance with the plan.... The court noted further that: “The approval of the final report.. .signals to the court that it is appropriate both to discharge the debtor and close the estate because it has been fully administered.””
