U.S. Bankruptcy Court No. 05-13865 Adversary No. 05-1387 * * * * * *

MEMORANDUM OPINION This case is before this Court on appeal from the Order of the United States Bankruptcy Court granting the motion of the Appellee, Garcia E. Johnson ("Johnson"), to convert his proceedings from Chapter 7 to Chapter 13. In response, the Appellant, Suntrust Bank ("Suntrust"), filed a motion to dismiss or reconvert the case to Chapter 7. The Bankruptcy Court held a confirmation hearing and found that Johnson's actions did not constitute bad faith to justify dismissal or reconversion. Accordingly, the Court denied Suntrust's motion to dismiss or reconvert and granted confirmation of Johnson's Chapter 13 plan. This Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
