How Judge Bodoh decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Scheduled, undisputed claims remained allowed where the bar-date order did not clearly override the statutory filing rule.
“For the above-stated reasons, the Court holds that Movants’ claims are deemed filed pursuant to § 1111(a). Movants’ claims are allowed as filed.”
Procedural preferences
A creditor seeking summary judgment could not rely on signatures alone when contrary affidavits addressed who actually witnessed the mortgage execution.
“Movant failed to provide evidence that those two people attended the mortgage signing.”
Cautions
An allowed administrative claim did not justify immediate payment ahead of the estate's coordinated distribution process.
“ordering immediate payment contradicts the Code’s pro rata distribution to administrative expense claimants.”
