DeRose v. Chiro Plus Inc. (In re Chiro Plus Inc.)

Ruling
Creditors'argument that burdens of proof were improperly allocated was rejected since the trustee rebutted the prima facie validity of the creditors'claims and the creditors failed to then show the claims were valid.
Procedural posture

Appellant creditors were hired by two chapter 7 debtors to process and collect their bills. The creditors filed claims after the debtors terminated their contract and filed for bankruptcy protection. The creditors appealed after the bankruptcy court granted a motion filed by appellee, a chapter 7 trustee, and expunged the claims that they had filed in the debtors'consolidated bankruptcy proceedings.
