How Judge Rasure decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
When every statutory element for mandatory abstention was present, the court treated abstention and remand as required.
“Because all elements of the mandatory abstention statute are present, the Court must abstain from hearing this proceeding and, consequently, remands the matter to Tulsa County District Court.”
Procedural preferences
After denying dismissal, the court allowed a focused amendment to cure the pleading deficiencies it had identified.
“The Plaintiffs are granted leave to file and serve on the Chase Entities an amended complaint that remedies the deficiencies identified herein within fifteen (15) days hereof.”
Cautions
Attorney-compensation review depended on complete disclosure, and undisclosed fees could be disgorged.
“The process of review [of attorneys’ prepetition transactions with a debtor] is absolutely dependent upon full, complete and absolute compliance with the disclosure requirements by a debtor’s attorney.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Thus, the Motion to Dismiss on the ground of mootness is denied.”
“Because all elements of the mandatory abstention statute are present, the Court must abstain from hearing this proceeding and, consequently, remands the matter to Tulsa County District Court.”
Contextual exclusion: the memorandum resolved entitlement to fees on stipulated facts but deferred the amounts and final judgment.
“For the reasons stated above, judgment shall be entered in favor of Mr. Hentges and against Mrs. Marks on Mrs. Marks’s claims under Sections 523(a)(4) and 523(a)(6). Summary judgment is denied with respect to Mrs. Marks’s claim under Section 523(a)(2)(A).”
“Accordingly, the Motion to Modify is denied and the relief requested in the Petitioning Creditors’ Response is taken under advisement.”
“The Application of Counsel of Involuntary Debtor for Compensation and Reimbursement of Attorneys’ Fees is denied in its entirety.”
“The Motion is denied. This Order constitutes an order approving the rejection of the 2001 Agreement and Brink’s has thirty days in which to file a rejection claim, if any.”
“For the reasons stated herein, the Application is denied.”
Contextual exclusion: the involuntary petition was decided after trial rather than on a classified motion or objection.
“The Court grants CFS’s Motion to Strike Jury Demand.”
“The Motion to Dismiss is denied.”
“The Plaintiffs are granted leave to file and serve on the Chase Entities an amended complaint that remedies the deficiencies identified herein within fifteen (15) days hereof.”
