TENTATIVE RULING:

1/14/20

Service: Proper—shortened noticeOpposition: None

The Court has reviewed the motion, and the service was rendered on shortened notice. Debtor had two Chapter 13 voluntary petitions, case number 16:19-bk-16791-MH ("Prior First Case") and case number 19-bk-12704-MH ("Prior Second Case"), pending within one year. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(c)(4)(D)(i), a case is presumed to be filed not in good faith as to all creditors if "2 or more previous cases under this title in which the individual was a debtor were pending within the 1-year period…"

A debtor can rebuttal this presumption by clear and convincing evidence. 3 Collier on Bankruptcy ¶ 362.06 (Richard Levin & Henry J. Sommer eds., 16th ed.). "[Clear and convincing evidence] is defined as that degree or measure of proof which will produce in the mind of the trier of fact, a firm belief or conviction that the allegations sought to be established as true; it is ‘evidence so clear, direct weight[,] and convincing as to enable the fact finder to come to a clear conviction, without hesitancy, of the truth of the precise facts of the case.

11:00 AMRobert Joseph Slapp, IIICONT... Chapter 13

Debtor declared that the reason why the Prior Second Case was dismissed because he "believed he was going to begin working in a position which would enable him to stay current on both his…payments." Dkt No. 7, Pg 3. After the Prior Second Case was filed, the position was no longer available to Debtor. Thus, Debtor did not appear to the Prior Second Case’s 341(a) meeting because he was unable to make the required payment at the meeting.

Debtor stated that the Prior First Case was dismissed because, even though he had a job, he was not earning enough to make his post-petition mortgage payments. Id. at 4. Now, Debtor has a second job, and "anticipates receiving a job offer…for a higher paying position which will enable him to stay current on his position. Id.

"Mere statements by the movement in the motion does not carry evidentiary weight. The movant must provide detailed, competent, evidence sufficient…to rebut the presumption of bad faith." In re Castaneda, 342 B.R. at 96. In this case, the Debtor did not provide evidence more than mere statements. He neither provided paystubs of his current employment nor provided detailed and competent evidence to believe he would receive a job offer for a higher paying position.

By his own statements, Debtor’s beliefs have been consistently wrong and have led him to his prior cases being dismissed. Debtor also speculates that he will receive a higher paying job, which is insufficient to establish clear and convincing evidence to rebut the presumption pursuant to 11 U.S.C § 362(c)(4) that the case was filed in good faith regarding Debtor being able to post-petition mortgage HOA payments, and future Chapter 13 plan payments. Thus, the Court is inclined to DENY the motion.

APPEARANCES REQUIRED.

Tentative Ruling:

1/14/2020

Service: ProperOpposition: None

11 U.S.C. § 365 (d)(1):

"In a case under Chapter 7 of this title, if the trustee does not assume or reject an executory contract or unexpired lease…of personal property of the debtor within sixty days after the order for relief [, that is the date the petition was filed]…then such contract or lease is deemed rejected."

In this case, debtor, Tanisha R. Bowden, filed a voluntary, no asset Chapter 7 petition on November 27, 2019. The trustee, Steven M. Speir, has until January 26, 2020, sixty days after the petition was filed, to either reject or assume the lease.

When a lease is deemed rejected, the leased property is no longer property of the estate and the stay under 11 U.S.C § 362(a) is automatically terminated. Thus, the stay will remain until January 26, 2020. Based on the payment default, The Court is inclined to GRANT relief from stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(d)(1), GRANT relief

MOVANT: WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.

EH__

18Docket

Tentative Ruling:

1/14/2020

Service: ProperOpposition: None

By providing the promissory note, the commercial security agreement, the UCC financing statement, current value of the claim, and the value of the property based on the debtor’s Schedule A/B, pursuant to U.S.C. §§ 362(d)(1) and 362(d)(2), the movant, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. has established that its interest is not adequately protected nor does the Debtors’ have any equity in the property. In re Gauvin, 24 B.R. 578, 580 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 1982). Total secured claim, $2,110,049.32, is greater than the value of all debtor’s business property, $900,103.00. (Dkt. No. 18, 4).

The burden now shifts to the opposing party, the Debtor, to show that the collateral is not declining in value, the movant is adequately protected by periodic cash payments, an equity cushion, replacement liens or otherwise, or that there is a significant likelihood of a successful reorganization in a reasonable time. 3 Collier on Bankruptcy ¶ 362.10 (Richard Levin & Henry J. Sommer eds., 16th ed.). Here, Debtor is not reorganizing, and Debtor failed to oppose this motion. Thus, pursuant to Local Bankruptcy Rule 9013-(h), the Court may deem this to be consent to the granting or denial of the motion, as the case may be.

By providing the retail installment contract security agreement, the certificate of title, the UCC financing statement, current value of the claim, and the value of the properties based on NADA Guides Value Report, pursuant to U.S.C. §§ 362(d)(1) and 362(d)(2), the movant, Bank of America, N.A. has established that its interest is not adequately protected nor does the Debtors’ have any equity in the property. In re Gauvin, 24 B.R. 578, 580 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 1982). Specifically, the total secured claim, $2,110,049.32, is greater than the value of all debtor’s business property, $900,103.00. (Dkt.

11:00 AMRICHARD JAMES SYLVESTER and SHARON LEE CONT... Chapter 7

In such a case, the stay is not terminated when the Debtors intend to surrender the property. In re Stephens, 2013 Bankr. Lexis 1202, *28 (Bankr. N.D. NY. 2013). Instead, such action, surrendering the property, means relinquishing the debtor’s rights and taking no action to resist any efforts by the creditor to gain possession. Id. 11 U.S.C. § 521(a)(2)(B) requires that the Debtor within thirty days after the first date set for the meeting of creditors perform his intention. The meeting of the creditors was first set on November 15, 2019. Thirty days have passed, and the Debtors have not performed their intention.

Thus, pursuant to § 362(h)(1)(B), the automatic stay is terminated. The Court is inclined to GRANT relief from stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 362(d)(1) and 362(d)(2). GRANT relief from Rule 4001(a)(3) stay. GRANT request under ¶ 2.

75Docket

Tentative Ruling:

1/14/2020

Service: ProperOpposition: Debtors

Debtors filed their Chapter 13 plan, and it was later confirmed on April 18, 2018. Movant, Lakeview Loan Servicing (hereinafter "Lakeview") had a claim secured only by security interest in real property constituting Debtors’ principal residence. Such a creditor’s claim is not subject to modification under Chapter 13 Plan. 11 U.S.C. § 1322(b)(2). However, a creditor of such a claim is stayed from the collection of its claim, from taking possession of the real property encumbered by the lien, and from the enforcement of its lien. 11 U.S.C § 362(a)(1)-(5).

Debtors, pursuant to their Chapter 13 plan, stated that they will maintain and make the current contractual installments payments on Lakeview’s claim. Dkt. No. 2. Lakeview has filed this motion from relief from stay based on Debtors failure to make post-petition mortgage payments pursuant to Debtors’ Chapter 13 plan.

By providing the note, the deed of trust, the corporate assignment of deed, and the post-petition history, pursuant to U.S.C. § 362(d)(1), Lakeview has established that its interest is not adequately protected. In re Gauvin, 24 B.R. 578, 580 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 1982).
