Nancy J. Gargula, U.S. Trustee v. Sonya Skinner (In re Skinner), Ch. 7, BK13-80010, A13-8052 (Oct. 9, 2014)

The court granted summary judgment and revoked the debtor's Chapter 7 discharge after the U.S. Trustee learned the debtor had obtained a Chapter 7 discharge in another district less than eight years ago and had made false oaths in connection with the present case. The debtor filed the Nebraska case using a different Social Security number, so the previous bankruptcy did not show up on a PACER search. The debtor also lied at her ยง 341 meeting when asked if she'd ever filed bankruptcy before, and she failed to disclose certain business interests in her statement of financial affairs. She also failed to disclose more than $20,000 in fines, penalties, and disgorged fees she had been ordered to pay for her unauthorized practice of law while acting as a bankruptcy petition preparer.
