How Judge Hollis decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
A tax purchaser remained adequately protected when its claim could be paid through a confirmed Chapter 13 plan.
“Diamond Quest is a creditor who is bound by the continued plan, and as its interests are adequately protected, relief from the automatic stay is not warranted.”
Procedural preferences
A prior administrative practice did not override the court’s reading of governing law.
“The law is the law, regardless of how the Trustee administered her cases in the past.”
Cautions
An administrative repayment program could inform, but not replace, the court’s present undue-hardship judgment.
“Courts must not turn to the ICRP as a substitute for the thoughtful and considered exercise of that discretion.”
Signed rulings

“Accordingly, the Trustee’s application to employ attorneys will be granted.”
“Jane Doe’s Motion to Dismiss, or, in the Alternative, to Convert to Chapter 7 or to Appoint a Chapter 11 Trustee is hereby denied.”
“Accordingly, the Model Plan does not impermissibly modify GMAC’s rights, and the objection to confirmation is overruled.”
