Possibly, depending on why it was dismissed, and when.

If, for example, the reason it was dismissed is because the debtor failed to complete the post-petition education, it is fairly simple to get it reinstated, but there is a $260 filing fee.

If it was dismissed for failure to attend a hearing, or to file the necessary documents, it is still possible to get it reinstated.

However, in some cases, it might be easier to just file a new Chapter 7.
