How Judge Corcoran decides

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

Procedural preferences

Counsel must show a case-specific justification before withdrawing from an unfinished bankruptcy representation.

“When the attorney seeks to withdraw merely for reasons of his economy and his convenience, as is the case here, the court is required to deny the attorney’s motion to withdraw.”

A regulatory injunction may remain enforceable even while the automatic stay protects postpetition income unrelated to the prohibited conduct.

“Otherwise, however, the Federal Trade Commission may enforce the preliminary injunction as a valid exercise of its police and regulatory powers that are excepted from the automatic stay.”
