MultiRegion, United States of America

that has always pervaded the entire bankruptcy system.). We also recognize that the Bankruptcy Code limits the opportunity for a completely unencumbered new beginning to the honest but unfortunate debtor. Grogan v. Garner, 498 U.S. 279, 28687, 111 S.Ct. 654, 112 L.Ed.2d 755 (1991).
