How Judge Jennemann decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
A claim belonging to a limited liability company must be pursued by the company or through the authorized derivative process, not directly by individual members.
“only SGGUSA can assert claims for wrongful distributions made to Whittle.”
Discovery is permitted when it tests the authenticity and authority of a note endorsement, while broader ownership-history requests may be rejected as irrelevant and overbroad.
“The Court will sustain Deutsche Bank’s objections to every other interrogatory 32 and document production request, 33 finding such requests are irrelevant and overbroad in light of the General Rule.”
Cautions
Fee and security arrangements with consumer debtors require complete disclosure in the compensation statement and the debtor's schedules.
“The primary purpose of the disclosure rules is to avoid precisely this type of gamesmanship.”
