How Judge González decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Stay protection does not extend to non-debtor parties or property outside the estate.
“It does not protect non-debtor parties or their property;”
Procedural preferences
Notice to an attorney did not establish notice to the creditor where the record failed to show representation or authorization connected to the bankruptcy claim.
“The record before the court, however, does not establish that Mr. Camacho Padilla represented the Creditor in this bankruptcy case”
Cautions
The settlement proponents needed a factual basis connecting the disputed collateral rights and litigation risks to the proposed equal allocation. Immediate liquidity alone did not justify the distribution.
“What is missing is the analytical bridge between those two points.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“For the reasons stated above, the Motion for Relief from the Automatic Stay and/or for a determination that the Property is not part of the bankruptcy estate filed by Island Portfolio Services LLC (Dkt. # 23) is hereby granted.”
“Because the court finds that the Creditor did not receive sufficient notice of the bar date for filing proofs of claim, the Chapter 13 Trustee’s objection to claim at Dkt. # 61 is denied and Claim No. 5-1 is deemed timely filed pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3002(c)(7).”
