How Judge Robson decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Maintaining a prepetition hold without taking an affirmative postpetition collection step did not violate the automatic stay.
“The Court finds FFG is trying to maintain the status quo until a determination regarding the Pre-Petition Funds is made and that the hold does not violate the automatic stay.”
Procedural preferences
Contested matters require literal compliance with the bankruptcy rules governing service.
“Nationwide service of process by first class mail is a rare privilege which can drastically reduce the costs and delay of litigation. As a privilege, it is not to be . . . taken lightly.”
Cautions
Intentional deletion of electronically stored information can support the severe sanction of default judgment.
“Mr. Chule violated the Discovery Orders by deleting relevant electronically stored information with the intent to deprive Ms. Salomone of use of the information in this proceeding as well as in anticipation of other litigation.”
