How Judge Krumm decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
The court treated evidence of generational connection and sentimental value as sufficient for an intangible heirloom.
“a piece of personal property, whether tangible or intangible, can be a heirloom so long as it serves the purpose of being a basis of generational connection and sentimental value.”
A claimed administrative expense required evidence of a concrete postpetition estate benefit.
“the statement by counsel for the Debtor, without any additional supporting evidence, is insufficient to meet the ‘heavy burden’”
Procedural preferences
The court corrected an imprecise motion label and applied the governing procedural rule.
“a ‘motion to strike’ is not the proper term for the relief requested.”
Cautions
A general assertion of mail problems did not overcome a court-generated mailing certificate.
“the Debtor’s general denial does not constitute the ‘strong evidence’ required”
