How Judge Shannon decides

Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.

Cautions

A discovery request was rejected where it sought to reopen issues that had not changed and lacked a valid basis.

“The Court finds that Mr. Raveendran’s arguments for discovery on these new issues or so-called ‘concessions’ are groundless. The Complaint has not changed.”

A business relationship, without pleaded facts suggesting wrongful intent, did not establish actual fraudulent intent for a transfer.

“between the Debtor and transferee but nothing about that relationship suggests fraudulent intent.”
