12/26/12 Ashburn et al v. Kolb (4:10-ap-02034-EWH) 12/26/12

Holding: Debtors, without just cause, failed to maintain adequate records to permit creditors to ascertain Debtors' financial condition and the financial condition of a business they controlled. In addition, after their case was filed, Debtors destroyed some of their financial records. Accordingly, Debtors' discharge is denied under§ 727(a)(3).

Memorandum Decision Denying Discharge Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 727(a)(3)

Judge Eileen W. Hollowell (retired)
12/21/12 Constantine (2:12-bk-04842-EWH) 12/21/12

Holding: The Court has not received a full enough record of the evidence introduced at trial in Florida to make a determination that the Verdict will have preclusive effect in this Court. Without this information, the Court cannot be confident, as required by Florida’s issue preclusion doctrine, that an identical issue was presented in the prior proceeding. The Court also believes that granting relief from stay will prejudice the bankruptcy estate and place an undue burden on Debtor. The Florida Appeal will diminish the estate by draining resources to defend the judgment notwithstanding the verdict and to prosecute Debtor’s cross appeal. Furthermore, prosecuting the Florida Appeal will result in undue delay in administering Debtor's estate.
