Jesse Milk vs. DEBTOR(Motion filed 12/23/19)

[RE: Case Name: Milk v. Almeza, Inc., et al.][Docket Number: 30-2016-00884933-CU-PL-NJC][Pending In: Superior Court of the State of California - County of Orange]

12Docket

APPEARANCES NOT REQUIRED.

The motion is granted pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(d)(1) to permit movant, its successors, transferees and assigns, to proceed in the non-bankruptcy forum to final judgment (including any appeals) in accordance with applicable non-bankruptcy law. Movant shall not enforce its final judgment against the debtor or property of the estate, except by filing a proof of claim in this bankruptcy case pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 501 and/or a complaint to determine the nondischargeability of the debt.

Cause exists for relief under 11 U.S.C. § 362(d)(1) because the claims at issue arise under non-bankruptcy law and can be most expeditiously resolved in the non-bankruptcy forum.

The 14-day stay provided by Rule 4001(a)(3) is waived.

The order is binding and effective despite conversion of this bankruptcy case to a case under any other chapter of Title 11 of the U.S. Code.

Afshin Dehghan And Shahla Pisheh vs. DEBTOR(Motion filed 12/30/19)

[RE: 5 Altimira,Trabuco Canyon (aka Coto de Caza), CA 92679]

18Docket

APPEARANCES REQUIRED.

The Court intends to grant the motion in part, and deny the motion in part.

The motion is granted pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 362(d)(1) and (d)(2). This motion has been filed to proceed with an unlawful detainer action. This action must go forward because the debtor's right to possess the premises must be determined. This does not change simply because a bankruptcy petition was filed.

The 14-day stay provided by Rule 4001(a)(3) is waived.

The motion is denied as to the extraordinary relief requested under numbered paragraphs 7 and 9 of the motion.

#8.00Hearing RE: Motion For Reconsideration Of Scheduling Order After Remand(Motion filed 12/18/19)

132Docket

APPEARANCES NOT REQUIRED.

The United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel of the Ninth Circuit (the "BAP") filed

its opinion reversing and remanding this Court’s order dismissing an involuntary

chapter 11 petition against alleged debtor QDOS, Inc. ("QDOS") on November 7,

2019. The BAP issued the mandate to this Court on December 3, 2019. The next

day, December 4, 2019, this Court filed and entered a Scheduling Order After

Remand, Docket No. 130 (the "Scheduling Order"). Two days later, on December 6,

2019, QDOS filed a notice of appeal of the BAP’s decision, seeking review of that

decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the "Ninth

Circuit").

Now before the Court is petitioning creditors’ Motion for Reconsideration of

Scheduling Order After Remand, Docket No. 132, filed December 18, 2019 (the

"Motion"). The Motion asks the Court to "immediately vacate the Remand

Scheduling Order and schedule and conduct a status conference on both discovery

and trial scheduling before entering an order fixing discovery and/or trial

schedules." Motion at page 10 of 11, lines 17-20. Petitioning creditors contend that

this Court lacks jurisdiction with respect to the involuntary petition creditor now

that a notice of appeal to the Ninth Circuit has been filed. QDOS agrees with

petitioning creditors that the notice of appeal divested this Court of jurisdiction.

It would appear that, following the issuance of the mandate on December 3, 2019 –

which restored this Court’s jurisdiction over the involuntary proceeding – the Court

again lost jurisdiction on December 6, 2019 when QDOS filed a notice of appeal to

the Ninth Circuit. Marino v. Classic Auto Refinishing, Inc. (In re Marino), 234 B.R.

767, 770 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 1999). For this reason, and in addition for reasons of

judicial economy, the Court grants the Motion in part and vacates the Scheduling

Order. Based upon this disposition, it is unnecessary for the Court to address other

arguments raised in the Motion relating to the contents of the Scheduling Order.
