06/14/2015 | 62 | Docket Text BNC Certificate of Mailing - PDF Document. (related document(s) (Related Doc # 60)). No. of Notices: 2. Notice Date 06/14/2015. (Admin.) (Entered: 06/15/2015) |
06/12/2015 | 60 | Docket Text Order (related document(s) 47). It is hereby ordered and determined that: 1. At the hearing, the debtor presented valuation evidence relating to whether unsecured creditors would receive a distribution pursuant to a Chapter 7 liquidation and argued that unsecured creditors could, in a best case scenario, receive a 25% distribution. See, e.g. Audio recording of hearing 3/25/15 @ 2:24pm (2:48) adv. no. 14-18043MDC. 2. This court finds that the debtor's evidence is relevant to one of two issues (1) whether the debtor lacked a valid bankruptcy purpose when it filed its bankruptcy petition; or (2) whether the debtor should be permitted to invoke this court's jurisdiction. 3. With regard to the former issue, the debtor's evidence and arguments regarding alleged appreciation of the EFL V Property was addressed by this court in the dismissal order when this court determined that the debtor initiated this bankruptcy case without a valid reorganization purpose. Dismissal Order, n.4. 4. Because the evidence presented is largely consistent with the allegation previously considered by this court, this court finds that the evidence presented by the debtor does not implicate the existence of such extraordinary circumstances that would warrant this court to revisit its prior factual determinations. See, e.g. In re Pharmacy Benefit Managers Antitrust Littig, 582 F.3d 432, 439 (3d Cir. 2009 9recognizing that in the absence of extraordinary circumstances, a court should adhere to its prior decisions); Finkle v. Polichuk (In re Polichuk), 506 B.R. 405, 426 (Bankr. E.D. Pa Feb 27, 2014) ("Under the law of the case doctrine, the court's prior decision continues to govern the same issue in later stages of the same case."). 5. With regard to the latter issue, this court finds that the debtor's arguments are premature as they go to whether this court, in response to a request by the debtor, should grant the debtor permission to file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy petition. 6. Based upon this court's prior determination that the debtor has twice invoked this court's jurisdiction for an improper bankruptcy purpose, this court now finds that the entry of a bar order is warranted. 7. This court finds that the entry of a bar order is further warranted by this court's concern that the instant bankruptcy petition was potentially the result of unlawful conduct. See, e.g. 42Pa C.S.A. 2524(a). The debtor is prohibited from filing any future bankruptcy case without first obtaining permission from this court. 9. Until directed otherwise, the clerk of this court is directed to refrain from accepting any Bankruptcy petitions filed on behalf of the debtor. (P., Paul) (Entered: 06/12/2015) |
