Standiferd v. United States (In re Standiferd)

Apr
12
2011
Ruling
Discharge denied due to converted chapter 7 debtor's misconduct while case was in chapter 13.
Procedural posture

Debtors filed a chapter 13 bankruptcy petition, obtained confirmation of their chapter 13 plan, and then willfully violated the provisions of the confirmation order. Thereafter, debtors converted their case to chapter 7. The bankruptcy court granted appellee trustee's motion to deny debtors discharge based on their pre-conversion misconduct. The U. S. District Court for the District of New Mexico affirmed. Debtors appealed.

Bankruptcy court did not have authority to approve surcharge for postpetition distribution of television revenues.

Wachovia Dealer Servs. v. Jones (In re Jones)

Jul
07
2008
Ruling
"910 vehicle" loans are allowed secured claims which may accrue postpetition interest.
Procedural posture

Appellants, creditors in five chapter 13 bankruptcy proceedings, sought review of the U.S. Bankruptcy Panel of the Tenth Circuit's confirmation of appellee debtors' reorganization plans. All five cases involved 910 car loans. The creditors objected to the plans, arguing that they were entitled to postpetition interest on their claims under 11 U.S.C.S. § 1325(a)(5)(B)(ii). The federal bankruptcy court overruled the creditors' objections.

DaimlerChrysler Fin. Servs. Americas LLC v. Ballard (In re Ballard

May
19
2008
Ruling
Creditor entitled to pursue unsecured claim for deficiency on "910 vehicle" pursuant to contract and state law.
Procedural posture

Appellant company objected to the confirmation of appellees, debtors', plans in two chapter 13 bankruptcy proceedings. Because the proceedings involved the same legal issue, whether surrender of the debtors' vehicles fully satisfied the company's claim under the retail installment contracts, the bankruptcy court consolidated argument and overruled the company's objections. The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel of the Tenth Circuit affirmed.
