Recently Issued Decisions

	337 In re CRAM - §§105(a), 1325(a)(4) and Rule 9024(b)(6).  Debtor’s failure to disclose a §541 prepetition asset at the Court’s plan confirmation hearing or when the confirmation order was entered, causing Debtor’s plan to fail the best interests test of 1325(a)(4), and Debtor’s failure to notify the Court of its subsequent disclosure of the asset, warrants vacation of the confirmation order under 105(a) to insure the integrity of the Court and bankruptcy system.  For this, as well as the Trustee’s inadvertent error in submitting a discharge order before proper administration of the estate and plan completion, vacation of Debtors’ discharge order is warranted in the interests of justice under Rule 9024(b)(6).
