Memorandum Decision Re: Dismissal of Adversary Proceeding

Judge Charles G. Case II (retired)
07/17/12 First National Acceptance Co. v. Desert Springs Equestrian Center, L.L.C. (4:11-ap-00600-JMM) 07/17/12

Holding: It appears that all of the fees generated by FNAC were reasonable, and taken only in efforts to move FNAC's claims forward to obtain payment or to foreclose upon its collateral in the face of a defaulted promissory note. Moreover, all other fees incurred were due to defending against the positions taken by Desert Springs--through two bankruptcies and its (never-pressed) "defenses" to FNAC's adversary proceeding. Desert Springs' arguments against awarding FNAC's fees and costs are not persuasive. Counsel for Desert Springs will be ordered to pay such fees and costs from the sums held in the trust account for said purpose.

Memorandum Decision

Judge Eileen W. Hollowell (retired)
07/13/12 Sunset Professional Park,LLC (4:09-bk-32194-EWH) 07/13/12

Holding: The Debtor's counsel's application and Debtor's special counsel's application for fees comply with the law, both the Code and the Ninth Circuit conventions for evaluating fee applications. Meanwhile, the Objections filed by Debtor's principal failed to explain with specificity why the Court should reach any other conclusion. Accordingly, a separate Order that will be entered on the same day as this Memorandum Decision, granting both applications in full. 

Judge Eileen W. Hollowell (retired)
