How Judge Specie decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
A secured creditor must use a collateral description that reasonably identifies the asset it later claims.
“Sunz’ security interest never attached.”
Procedural preferences
When outside exhibits are unnecessary to a pleading challenge, the motion is decided under the Rule 12(b)(6) standard on the complaint itself.
“The Court declines to consider the exhibits attached to the Motion and reviews the Motion strictly under Rule 12(b)(6).”
Cautions
A bare denial of receipt will not overcome evidence that a notice was properly addressed and mailed.
“Lee’s denial of receipt of the notice is not enough to overcome the presumption that she received the notice.”
