How Judge Raslavich decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
At summary judgment, record evidence identifying a genuine factual dispute was required; argument alone did not carry the nonmoving party's burden.
“To successfully oppose entry of summary judgment, the nonmoving party may not simply rest on its pleadings, but must designate specific factual averments through the use of affidavits or other permissible evidentiary material that demonstrate a triable factual dispute.”
Procedural preferences
Unanswered requests for admission were treated as admitted when the opposing party missed the response period.
“Requests ## 1-3 are accordingly admitted for purposes of Debtor’s Motion for Summary Judgment.”
Cautions
Incomplete operating reports, unexplained withdrawals, and unauthorized use of cash collateral supported conversion from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7.
“the record evidence overwhelmingly revealed that cause to convert the Debtor’s case existed under Subsections (A),(B),(D),(F) and (K) of Bankruptcy Code Section 1112(b)(1).”
Signed rulings

“the Debtor’s Motion for Summary Judgment is granted.”
“FURTHER ORDERED, that the Motion to Dismiss is granted and this case is dismissed.”
“ORDERED, that for the reasons contained in the within Opinion, the Objection is Denied.”
