How Judge King decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Perfection and priority turned on whether the creditor completed the required steps for a security interest in property held by another party.
“Gardiner has taken all necessary steps for the perfection of its security interest in Lull’s personal property, and has demonstrated that its security interest in the auction proceeds has priority over the asserted interests of co-defendants Kapaa 382 and Yamaguchi.”
Procedural preferences
Equitable tolling generally required a factual record and was not resolved at the pleading stage.
“Equitable tolling is not properly determined on a motion to dismiss.”
Cautions
Repeated filings can prevent an automatic stay from arising at all unless timely statutory relief is sought.
“There is no automatic stay in effect under 11 U.S.C. Section 362(c)(4)(A)(i) in the Third Bankruptcy Case, given the total of three bankruptcy filings that were made in Debtor’s name during 2014.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
The signed confirmation findings are retained outside the outcome counts because the text was not sufficiently legible for reliable quotation.
“this Court expressly directs that a final Order and Judgment be entered DENYING all relief prayed for by Debtor in her Motion for Breach of the Automatic Stay by Creditor Bank of America, N.A. and Commissioner Ben Summit.”
“Based on the foregoing findings and conclusions, it is appropriate for the Court to enter the Order granting the Motion.”
“Accordingly, the Court sustains the Trustee’s Objection to Claim #42 which shall be disallowed in its entirety.”
“Therefore, Debtor is ineligible to be a Chapter 13 debtor under §109(e) since both her noncontingent, liquidated, secured and unsecured debts each exceed the maximum threshold limits under §109(e).”
“FLB is entitled to entry of an order terminating the automatic stay as to the Shares of Stock.”
“An order will be entered granting Plaintiffs motion to strike Defendant’s in pari delicto defense.”
“Under section 362(d)(1), cause exists to grant Finance Factors relief from the automatic stay to allow Finance Factors to immediately proceed with its foreclosure in the State Court Action.”
“For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff SHULTS & TAMM, ALC’S, Motion for Default Judgment against Defendant GIGANEWS, INC. is GRANTED.”
“An order will be entered, granting relief from the automatic stay.”
“the Court stated that the Plan will be confirmed and requested findings of fact and conclusions of law from the Debtors.”
“Pursuant to the foregoing discussion, an order will be entered granting in part and denying in part Gardiner’s motion for summary judgment.”
