PAUL MANNES
U. S. BANKRUPTCY JUDGE
Chapter 13
MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
The Trustee filed a Motion to Disallow the Claim of One West Bank, FSB ("One West"), because that entity refused distributions under the confirmed Chapter 13 Plan. As the payment of accrued arrearage and expense amounting to $38,017.17 was the cornerstone of the Debtors' Plan and the reason for the filing of the bankruptcy case, the court sent a Memorandum to the parties on June 4, 2012, suggesting they address themselves to the issue of non-acceptance of payments under the Plan. Debtors appear to be current in their payments to the Trustee; however, the stay of 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) has been terminated because of the failure of the Debtors to file a response to a Motion for Relief from Stay filed on behalf of One West. Inasmuch as this often happened in cases where the Debtors' counsel of record appeared for debtors, the court issued its Memorandum in the hope that the parties could discuss the situation. Because of the lack of response to the Memorandum, the court will grant the Trustee's Motion to Disallow the Claim of One West. cc:
