MEMORANDUM

Sophia Sadlowski appeals the district court’s decision to grant summary judgment barring her wage-and-hour claims against Michaels Stores, Inc. based on the doctrine of judicial estoppel. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and we reverse the district court’s ruling.

1. We review a district court’s application of judicial estoppel for an abuse of discretion. Ah Quin v. Cty. of Kauai Dep’t of Transp., 733 F.3d 267, 270 (9th Cir. 2013). “The district court necessarily abuses its discretion when it bases its decision on an erroneous legal standard.” Id. (ellipses and internal quotation marks omitted) (quoting Farris v. Seabrook, 677 F.3d 858, 864 (9th Cir. 2012)).

2. The district court’s ruling was based on Sadlowski’s failure to disclose her wage-and-hour claims during her Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, which was ultimately dismissed due to her failure to make required payments. “Although judicial estop-pel is ‘probably not reducible to any general formulation of principle, ... several factors typically inform the decision whether to apply the doctrine in a particular case.’ ” Id. (Quoting New Hampshire, 532 U.S. at 750-51, 121 S.Ct. 1808 ). These factors include: (1) whether the party’s later position was clearly inconsistent with its earlier position; (2) whether the party had succeeded in persuading a court to accept,its earlier position, such that accepting an inconsistent position in a later proceeding would create the perception that the one court or the other was misled; and (3) whether the party asserting an inconsistent position would derive an unfair advantage or impose an unfair detriment on its opponent if not estopped. New Hampshire v. Maine, 532 U.S. 742, 750-51 , 121 S.Ct. 1808 , 149 L.Ed.2d 968 (2001).

3. In applying this doctrine in the present context, the default rule is that “[i]f a plaintiff-debtor omits a pending (or soon-to-be-filed) lawsuit from the bankruptcy schedules and obtains a discharge (or plan confirmation), judicial estoppel bars the action.” Ah Quin, 733 F.3d at 271 . This is not what occurred here. Although Sadlow-ski did not disclose her wage-and-hour claim as an asset in her bankruptcy case, the bankruptcy was filed long before her wage-and-hour lawsuit. There was no basis in the record for a finding that Sadlowski was aware of enough facts to know that she had a legal claim against Michaels until she retained legal counsel for the wage-and-hour case in September 2011, about a month before her bankruptcy case was dismissed in October 2011. More importantly, the bankruptcy court never “accepted” or relied upon Sadlowski’s nondisclosure of her wage-and-hour claim. She did not receive a discharge, a favorable ruling, or any other benefit; rather, her bankruptcy case was dismissed due to her noncompliance with the Chapter 13 payment plan.

4. The district court’s ruling amounted to a determination that simple nondisclosure of a potential claim during bankruptcy, without more, estops a party from asserting the claim in a civil suit. The court applied an incorrect legal standard, because it essentially reduced New Hampshire v. Maine’s three-factor analysis to a single factor: whether the party took in consistent positions. No case decided by this Court supports this.

5. For these reasons, we conclude that the district court abused its discretion by barring Sadlowski’s claims against Mi-chaels on the basis of judicial estoppel. The case is remanded with instructions to deny Michaels’s motion for summary'judgment. Each party shall bear its own costs on appeal.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.
