1. “Prior to Doersam , this Court in previous rulings on student loans has not required that debtors fully pay those loans within their plans of reorganization, and within the parameters of 11 U.S.C. § 1322 (c). Rather, this Court has approved the debtor’s plan when it proposed to treat the student loan as a long-term debt, with any arrearage to be cured within the plan, and regular payments to continue through the plan, as well as after plan completion pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1322 (b)(5). This provides the debtors with an alternative when it is not feasible to pay the student loan within the sixty-month limitation of a plan. It is the opinion of this Court that its prior ruling is still viable as to that alternative and is not in conflict with the Doersam decision.”

2. “The Court’s requirements having been fully restated, and since the debtors’ amended plan of reorganization does not comply with those requirements, their amended plan is denied, and the debtors are granted twenty (20) days from the date of entry of this order to propose a third amended plan of reorganization. If no such plan is proposed within that twenty (20) days period, this matter will be dismissed, without further notice.”
