Fourth Circuit Denies Natalie Tao's Mandamus Petition, February 18

The Fourth Circuit denied Natalie A. Tao's petition for writ of mandamus on February 18, 2026. The court found that dismissal of her voluntary Chapter 13 petition under 11 U.S.C. § 521(i)(1) rendered most of her requested relief moot, and that mandamus relief is unavailable as a substitute for appeal. Her motion for a stay was also denied as moot. This unpublished per curiam opinion is not binding precedent in this circuit.

Singh Challenges Reliable Bankruptcy Dismissal, Plan

The United States District Court for the District of Maryland affirmed the Bankruptcy Court's denial of Gurpreet Singh's second motion to dismiss and confirmed Reliable Roadside Services, Inc.'s Chapter 11, Subchapter V Plan. Singh, a general unsecured creditor, had challenged the dismissal based on alleged false statements in Reliable's schedules, untimely monthly operating reports, and an unfair plan. The appellate court rejected Singh's appeal and upheld the Plan, which provides that general unsecured creditors receive a pro-rata share of the debtor's actual disposable income.
