How Judge Singleton decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
A default request still must establish a prima facie case and comply with briefing and military-status requirements.
“Plaintiff did not: (1) put forth a prima facie case in its motion; (2) include a supporting brief, as N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-9023-1(a) requires; or (3) include information about its search on the SCRA database.”
Cautions
Agreed shortcuts cannot replace procedures required by the Bankruptcy Code and Rules.
“Shortcuts that attempt to save Court resources should not come at the expense of following the Bankruptcy Code and Rules.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“The Court determines a $750.00 judgment in Maxie’s favor is an appropriate sanction.”
The court required supplementation before deciding whether to set aside the default judgment.
“The parties’ form of order is approved.”
“Thus, this case is remanded to the St. Joseph Superior Court, Small Claims Division.”
“Thus, the Court overrules the Trustee’s Objection to Claim 1-2 as moot.”
“The Trustee’s Objection is DENIED to the extent it seeks to reclassify Claim 6-2. (2) The Court SUSTAINS the objection as modified in the Trustee’s brief.”
“The Court denies the Debtor’s motion for additional time to file a certificate of compliance concerning the Debtor’s tax returns.”
“Accordingly, the Court grants the motion but orders Elam to give the Trustee a copy of her tax returns by January 7, 2024.”
“Therefore, the Court: (1) SUSTAINS the Objection to the Amended Plan and (2) DENIES confirmation of the Amended Plan.”
“Thus, the Court overrules the objection [Doc 28] and allows Claim 6-2 as an unsecured claim and will enter a separate order stating the same.”
“Therefore, the Court denies, without prejudice, Creditor’s Motion for Relief from Automatic Stay and Abandonment.”
“The Court denies Plaintiff’s motion without prejudice.”
