How Judge Jaroslovsky decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In Sims v. Nelson, he granted the trustee summary judgment after the defendants failed to offer evidence of solvency once the burden shifted to them.
“The burden then shifted to defendants to file a declaration or produce some evidence of solvency. Having failed to do so, the Trustee is entitled to summary judgment.”
Procedural preferences
An informal proof of claim must itself disclose the claim's nature and amount and show a present intent to pursue the estate.
“At a minimum, the document urged as an informal proof of claim must state the nature and amount of the claim and the present intent to assert it.”
Cautions
A creditor holding pledged company interests should complete the state-law transfer steps before arguing that incumbent members lacked authority to commence bankruptcy.
“only the members or lawful managers are entitled to vote on behalf of a limited liability company, notwithstanding a pledge of membership rights as collateral.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“the Kuhl-mans’ motion to compel abandonment will be denied”
“the motions of the trustee for approval of the sale and for turnover will be granted.”
“the court reluctantly concludes that Fleming’s motion must be granted.”
“the trustee’s objection to Billings’ Chapter 18 plan will be overruled”
“For the foregoing reasons, the motion to dismiss will be denied”
“Travelquest’s motion will be denied”
“Rolyn’s objection to its claim will be sustained.”
The court imposed fines, a temporary suspension, and a permanent practice injunction on nonlawyer petition preparers after an order-to-show-cause hearing; no party-filed motion outcome was classified.
“Rose’s objection will be sustained only as to the amount of interest paid. The balance of the objection will be overruled”
“the trustee’s objection to her claim will be sustained.”
“the court will grant Arcadia’s motion for summary judgment.”
“If she pays this sum by that date, her motion to withdraw her admission and amend her complaint will be granted and a new trial will be held solely on the issue of nondischargeability of the $170,000.00 pursuant to § 523(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.”
“All of the motions for relief from stay will be denied”
