COLLEEN BROWN, Bankruptcy Judge

The Debtor filed a Motion to Reopen Chapter 7 Case in order to add Creditor Ingram Construction as a general unsecured creditor,see doc. #24, and noticed his Motion under the Court's default procedure; no objections were filed.

UPON CONSIDERATION of the Debtor's Motion to Reopen Chapter 7 Case and the Court's Memorandum of Decision in In re Taylor, No. 99-10728, slip op. (Bankr. D.Vt. Aug. 12, 2002), available athttp://www.vtb.uscourts/opinions/published/ 9910728_15.pdf,

THE COURT FINDS

(1) this was a no-asset case in which a No-Asset Notice was issued,see doc. #2;

(2) the case trustee filed a Report of No Assets, see doc. #21;

(3) the Court issued an Order discharging the Debtor, see doc. #20;

(4) a Final Decree was issued, see doc. #23; and

(5) there is no allegation that the Debtor intentionally or recklessly failed to schedule the creditor, effected a fraudulent scheme, or that his conduct constituted intentional laches or prejudiced the creditor; or that the Debtor or creditor seeks to pursue a dischargeability action.

Thus, THE COURT FURTHER FINDS that there is no reason to reopen the Debtor's case. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED the Debtor's Motion to Reopen Chapter 7 Case is DENIED.

SO ORDERED.
