Just to refresh your memory, we posted this news when it happen (9/10/12). Since then the tee has petitioned for an en banc rehearing. We are still waiting to hear from the 9th re: the en banc rehearing. I will let you know the result of the petition for re-hearing once we receive it. I do not believe they petitioned for a stay pending consideration of the rehearing. Therefore, it is binding on our bk judges (please feel free to correct me if I am wrong).
Thank you, Nancy B. Clark
Editors Note: Flores is the 9th Circuit Case that said a 5 year plan is not required of an above-median debtor who has no disposable income per the means test.
