Date Filed#Docket Text
02/12/2025726Courtroom Minute Sheet (DLS), Ruling: The Motion to Stay Pending Appeal and Response to the Motion to Pending Appeal and Motion to Compel Release of Earnest Money Deposit from Escrow Agent will not be heard due no Appeal has been filed. Regarding the amended motion to Amend Order: Mr. McMaster: The key is the definition of the word manifest is described as clear, obvious or clearly understood. Allied Medias motion sets out facts when the opposing party does not dispute to any of those facts. All of the facts are uncontroverted and clearly contained in the evidence and the citations to the record and the court has presented no information that those facts were disputed. The opposing party does not dispute the laws set out in that motion or its application. This is a dispute over whether $300,000.00 was part of the bankruptcy estate. This is not an objection to the claim. The opposing party appeared in court with the burden of proof that they could transfer the assets as part of the purchase sale agreement or that Allied Media partners breached the contract. Rocking M Media, LLC signed a purchase sale agreement knowing there was much more secure debt in the purchase price. After the PSA was signed it is undisputed that Rocking M Media, LLC admittedly had no intention of showing it could sell the assets free and clear before closing. What they intended to do was have a closing and attempt to cram down secured creditors and negotiate a higher purchase price which was not called for in the purchase sale agreement. Its undisputed that Attorney Enlay was responsible for all the FCC work. Its further undisputed the party agreed of a no change extension for the purchase sale agreement. Then an amended purchase sale agreement was prepared which is contrary to the agreed 30 day extension. The Rocking M Media, LLC and the Creditors Committee did not assert that Allied Media breached the PSA by not closing before the FCC approval expired. In conclusion, it is clear that Rocking M Media, LLC, instead of following the PSA, wanted to do something completely different that was allowed by the contract. We ask that our motion be granted and if our motion is not granted we should be entitled to reopen our case and/or a new trial so we can resubmit the court created issues. Mr. Caroll: The items that Mr. McMaster did not object to in trial and there was never an objection to any of the evidence. Regarding the motion Mr. McMaster is asking you to change the courts decision. There is no manifest error or anything new. Their motion should be denied. Court will take matters under advisement.
