How Judge Khorrami decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Detailed and credible evidence of available cash, investor funding, management experience, and the value of the contract established adequate assurance of future performance.
“Taking into consideration all these factors, the Court concludes that the Debtor has shown that the likelihood that Debtor can perform in the future is more probable than not.”
A creditor seeking stay relief must present evidence supporting its prima facie case before the debtor bears a responsive proof burden.
“the Court finds that termination of the automatic stay and codebtor stay is not warranted in this case because Exeter did not present any testimony or evidence in support of its Relief from Stay Motion”
A willful stay violation supported actual damages, punitive damages, and concrete corrective measures where deterrence and mitigation required more than compensation alone.
“Accordingly, to deter this egregious misconduct from recurring, the Court awards punitive damages in the amount of $2,500.00, an amount that the Court believes will deter any future repeat of the events that happened here.”
Procedural preferences
The reviewed decision coordinated dismissal of the adversary proceeding with continued resolution of remaining issues through a claim-objection process already before the court.
“the Remaining Claims are withdrawn without prejudice to their resolution before this Court under the Claim Objection”
A sur-reply requires a genuinely new issue in the reply, not a desire to answer arguments that properly responded to the opposition.
“The absence of any newly-raised issues confirms that the Defendants simply seek to have the last word, which is not a valid basis for a sur-reply.”
Default judgment requires completed service on both a debtor and bankruptcy counsel, a clerk's entry of default, and a fact-based military-status declaration.
“Since there is no evidence that Mr. Furry-Mongold’s bankruptcy counsel was served with the summons and complaint as required by Bankruptcy Rule 7004(g), service upon Mr. Furry-Mongold is not complete and he is not in default.”
Cautions
A discharge-objection deadline cannot be extended after expiration merely because the creditor acted diligently or encountered postal delay.
“Even though Ms. Anthony might deserve an extension, the Court has no authority to grant it.”
Postconfirmation loss of a spouse and resulting sole ownership of the family home are not treated like an unearned windfall justifying forced liquidation or new borrowing.
“Mrs. Price has suffered a tragedy. She has not received a windfall.”
A movant cannot save an evidentiary motion by introducing substantive legal theories for the first time in reply.
“A movant cannot raise new issues for the first time in a reply brief because consideration of such issues deprives the non-moving party of its opportunity to address the new arguments.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“For all these reasons, the Court grants the Motion for Leave in part and denies it in part.”
“Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that RSS WFCM2019-C50 – OH WG2, LLC’s Amended Emergency Motion For Relief From The Automatic Stay (Dkt. No. 28) is DENIED.”
The court resolved one count of the dismissal motion and held the remaining counts in abeyance pending clarification and a possible amended complaint.
“The Amended Motion is therefore granted, and the Discovery Cut-Off Date is extended to April 24, 2026.”
“Since the Defendants have not shown good cause, the Motion for Leave is denied.”
“Based on the reasons stated here, it is ORDERED that the Motion of Defendant Sarita Marie Penn to Dismiss Complaint (Dkt. No. 3) is GRANTED.”
“Because the Court simply has no authority to depart from the clear provisions of Bankruptcy Rules 4004(a), 4007(c), and 9006(b)(3), the Motion is denied.”
“The Motion is therefore well taken on the merits and is GRANTED.”
“Based on the reasons stated here, it is ORDERED that the Request to Waive Adversary Filing Fee (Dkt. No. 2) is hereby DENIED without prejudice.”
