Wirum v. Warren, No. 07-17226

In an appeal from a Bankruptcy Court order waiving 11 U.S.C. section 521(i)(1)'s requirement that a debtor file a list of creditors within 45 days of filing a bankruptcy petition, the District Court's order vacating the Bankruptcy Court's order is reversed, where the Bankruptcy Court acted within its discretion in entering the order waiving the filing requirement even though the deadline had passed.
