How Judge Riblet decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
A confirmed Chapter 13 percentage distribution remained binding even when scheduled monthly payments proved insufficient.
“the percentage to be paid allowed unsecured claims, once fixed by the order confirming the Chapter 13 plan, can only be changed by plan amendment.”
Cautions
A compromise may be rejected despite a lack of creditor objections when a straightforward legal issue makes the underlying claim invalid.
“approval of a compromise of claim is inappropriate when the claim is invalid as a matter of law.”
