“the Objection is sustained, in part, as to this issue. F. Evolution’s Equitable Claims Against the EH-REIT Enterprise Evolution asserts that the EH-REIT Enterprise operated as a single economic entity under which the Debtor Lessors constituted the alter ego of the Non-Debtor Lessees and would be inequitable for this Court to uphold a legal distinction between these entities. Evolution continues that the Debtors would be unjustly enriched if these claims were not allowed against the Debtors. Evolution’s equitable claims are questions of fact and there has been no discovery to flush out the facts needed to decide the question. In other words, the Debtors have rebutted the valid claim presumption regarding the Disputed Claims as a matter of law, 35 Id. (seeking the payment or reimbursement of employee expenses and benefits, insurance, management fees, operating expenses, interest, legal fees, and indemnities from the Master Lessee). 22 but the Court is unable to rule on this record because the equitable claims are question of fact and discovery is required. As a result, the Court will overrule, in part, the Objections without prejudice”
“the Plaintiffs’ Cross-Motion to Defer Ruling is denied.”
“the Trustee’s motion for summary judgment will be granted.”
