How Judge Ray decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Subordination affected payment priority but did not erase the underlying financial obligation.
“Whether or not the Petitioners’ notes are subordinated, they represent financial obligations of Aurora.”
Procedural preferences
The court declined to give advance guidance where future facts might never create a live controversy.
“Furnishing such guidance prior to the making of the decision, however, is the role of counsel, not of the courts.”
Cautions
A proposed conversion requires both sufficient regular income and a good-faith basis.
“The Debtor displayed a disturbing lack of knowledge concerning his own schedules and Pamela’s contributions to the Plan.”
