Question Presented (from Petition)

Should certiorari be granted to resolve the conflict among the courts of appeals as to whether a bank-ruptcy court may deny a motion to dismiss and/or grant a completion discharge when there remains, at the end of that plan term, a shortfall that the debtor is willing and able to cure within a reasonable time or whether such a payment made after the five-year period of a Chapter 13 plan is not a payment "under the plan" but an impermissible modification after the plan ended?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Should a bankruptcy court deny a motion to dismiss and/or grant a completion discharge when there remains a shortfall that the debtor is willing and able to cure within a reasonable time?
