[NOT FOR PUBLICATION--NOT TO BE CITED AS PRECEDENT] United States Court of Appeals For the First Circuit No. 98-1815 IN RE: ASOCIACION DE COMERCIANTES DEL VIEJO SAN JUAN, Appellant. APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO [Hon. Juan M. Perez-Gimenez, U.S. District Judge] Before Lynch, Circuit Judge, Bownes, Senior Circuit Judge, and Lipez, Circuit Judge. Jesus Santiago Malavet and Santiago, Malavet & Santiago on brief for appellant. Carlos M. Sanchez La Costa on brief for appellee. March 19, 1999 Per Curiam. Upon careful review of the record and the briefs, we conclude that the bankruptcy court acted within its discretion in dismissing appellant's petition for failure to make timely filings. See 11 U.S.C. 521(1) & 1112(e). Even assuming, arguendo, that appellant did not receive the order dated August 5, and even though appellant had requested an extension, the dismissal still was not an abuse of discretion. Particularly in light of the Notice to Debtor of Filing a Petition in Bankruptcy dated July 30, 1997, appellant could not claim ignorance of the statutory filing requirements and the potential consequences of default. Appellant proceeded at its peril by disregarding those requirements, notwithstanding the pending motion, which motion was not supported by such good cause that appellant's lack of diligence necessarily was excused by it or that the bankruptcy court necessarily was bound to grant it. Appellant's "motion to submit case on the pleadings" is granted. Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
