How Judge Glenn decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
A professional-fee request is supported when the services were reasonable when performed and were actual and necessary to preserve the estate.
“The Court concludes that LHM’s services were reasonable at the time they were performed for actual and necessary services for the preservation of the estate.”
Procedural preferences
When a nonresidential lease terminated before the bankruptcy filing, the automatic stay does not revive it or prevent the landlord from completing an eviction.
“Since the lease terminated before the bankruptcy petition was filed, the automatic stay was never triggered.”
Cautions
Late withdrawal of an admission is disfavored where the movant repeatedly made the same representation and the opponent developed its case in reliance on it.
“Permitting Defendants to withdraw that admission during trial would substantially alter the factual landscape and require Plaintiff to defend against a newly created dispute concerning an issue that had long been treated as undisputed.”
Administrative-expense priority requires proof of a concrete estate benefit; speculative customer-goodwill arguments do not satisfy that burden.
“Accordingly, Stripe failed to meet its burden of proving a benefit to the Debtors’ estate.”
