How Judge Marum decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
A co-owned-property sale required a concrete benefit to unsecured creditors, not merely payment of administrative expenses.
“Should the Plaintiff obtain an offer that will generate a twenty-five percent distribution to unsecured creditors, the Court will approve the sale.”
Procedural preferences
Counsel using generative tools remains responsible for checking every citation before filing.
“the attorney must verify that the AI-generated legal citations in any court-filed documents are true and correct.”
Cautions
A single-asset real-estate plan that requires wholesale material changes will not defeat stay relief merely because a different plan might later be proposed.
“When a plan requires wholesale material changes, though, as would be required in this case pursuant to the analysis under Section 362(d)(2) above, the debtor has not submitted a plan of reorganization that has a reasonable possibility of being confirmed within a reasonable time.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“the Court confirmed the Debtors’ Subchapter V plan on a consensual basis pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1191(a).”
“The Court thus conditionally authorizes the sale of the Property subject to the Trustee’s obtaining a further order of the Court explicitly authorizing the sale”
“turnover of the Property under Section 542(a) is appropriate subject to the same conditions for the sale of the Property”
“the injunction would not serve the public interest, the Court will not grant this request.”
“the Court hereby enjoins the Defendant and the Debtor from disrupting or interfering with the Plaintiff’s efforts to prepare, market, and obtain offers for the Property.”
“Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the Motion.”
“The Court DISMISSES the Chapter 11 case;”
“Live Oak’s alternative request for relief, with respect to authorizing excuse of the Receiver’s turnover of estate property under 11 U.S.C. § 543(d)(1), is DENIED AS MOOT.”
“the Court declines to impose civil contempt sanctions on Education pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 105(a) and 524(a)(2).”
“Based on the foregoing, the Court imposes sanctions on Counsel pursuant to Rule 9011 and its inherent powers authority.”
