06/13/2019Withdrawal of Document. This document is being withdrawn because supplemental information needed filed by John M. Scaffidi on behalf of John M. Scaffidi. (RE: 84 Proposed Order). (Scaffidi, John) (Entered: 06/13/2019)
06/12/2019ORDER: The trustee moves to sell property of the estate at an upcoming auction and to pay immediately holders of liens on the property that he proposes to sell. This all makes sense. And the motion is generally well presented and acceptable in principle. But the motion states that it seeks permission to pay "lien holders . . . the amounts listed on the attached list plus a per diem until the time of payment", without anywhere identifying these "lienholders". ECF No. 67, at 3. A chart of the items to be sold filed with the motion states that two of the items to be sold have estimated lien amounts of $7,990 and $5,580. ECF No. 67, at 4. Neither the motion nor the chart states who holds those liens. Moreover, the motion does not provide the information needed to understand how the trustee will calculate the per diem interest to which the motion refers in passing. Per diem at what rate? If the undisclosed lienholders are oversecured, as the trustee's filings suggest, section 506 would entitle them to post-petition interest and reasonable costs. Some courts, however, have concluded that what loan documents nominally refer to as default interest is really a charge, which section 506 authorizes only if reasonable. In all events, the motion's disclosure on this front is too thin to allow the court to meaningfully review what the trustee proposes to pay these unnamed parties and the basis for those payments. Perhaps all that information can be determined from a review of the filed claims, but that is a journey that the court is not inclined to undertake without guidance from the trustee.

Additionally, the trustee's proposed order provides that the auctioneer will collect and remit all applicable taxes and credit card charges. The motion, however, makes no mention of these costs. It is improper to include relief in a proposed order that is not requested in a motion.

The court will not act on the motion until the trustee supplements it to address these issues. Notice of any such supplementation is limited to those parties who receive electronic notice; the trustee need serve no one else. The trustee need not afford an additional opportunity to object based on the supplementation.

The court will undertake to act on the motion as supplemented as soon as possible. The trustee may (and should) alert the court's staff by telephone if he files the supplemental information described above so that the court will know to revisit the proposed order granting the motion.

Pursuant to Local Rule 5005(b), pleadings and proposed orders must be converted to PDF directly from the word processing software rather than scanned. Additionally, documents must be properly flattened and not contain fillable or editable fields. This document (Official Form 410 Proof of Claim Numbers 12-14) does not comply with the rule. No immediate action is required, however, subsequently filed documents must meet this requirement. For help with this and future filings please click here for tips on our website.
