UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION In re: Case No. 22-42370 ZSHAWNTINIQUE CIERRA EVANS, Chapter 7 Debtor. Judge Thomas J. Tucker / ORDER DISMISSING CASE At 11:34 a.m. on March 28, 2022, the Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7, commencing Case No. 22-42368. Four minutes later, at 11:38 a.m. that same day, the Debtor filed another voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 in this Court, commencing this case. The Court assumes that the second filing was merely an unintended error by the Debtor’s attorney. Both bankruptcy cases remain pending. As a general rule, a debtor may not have two bankruptcy cases pending at the same time. See In re Munroe,

(Bank. E.D. Mich. 2017) (citing Jn re Sidebottom,

(7th Cir. 2005) and Jn re Lord,

(Bankr. E.D.N.Y. 2003)) (“[T]he majority rule, which this Court agrees with, is that a debtor may not have two bankruptcy cases pending at the same time.”). For this reason, the Court will dismiss this case, which is the second-filed of the two cases. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that this bankruptcy case is dismissed.
