How Judge Paskay decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
A lawyer's misunderstanding of the bankruptcy appeal deadline does not establish excusable neglect.
“Misunderstanding of the rules governing appeals in Bankruptcy does not constitute ‘excusable neglect.’”
Competing summary-judgment motions are denied when material facts remain disputed.
“there are genuine issues of material fact which preclude the granting of summary judgment as a matter of law.”
Cautions
A state-law proceeding already prepared for trial may be remanded when bankruptcy jurisdiction is only related and the state forum can resolve it promptly.
“the State Law Action was ready for trial before it was removed. The State Court judge is intimately familiar with claims and issues involved in the case.”
