Important Change to our 30-day Money Back Guarantee ************************************** Due to the increasing allegations of fraudulent purchase transactions involving documents specifically designated for the purposes of litigation in eviction and/or unlawful detainer proceedings, we have been forced into choosing whether to continue offering such documents at all to ANYONE, or to declare that they are NON-REFUNDABLE, and are no longer covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee. ************************************** Consequently we have decided that as of March 16, 2024 at 1:00 am, PDT any single document specifically listed in the Eviction Defense Collection is hereby NON-REFUNDABLE. To determine if one or more of your proposed documents are NON-REFUNDABLE you will need to review the list of single documents found within the description for the Eviction Defense Collection. ************************************** In the meantime, we will be updating the individual file listings for all such affected documents. ************************************** HOWEVER, YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED!

Plaintiff’s summary judgment motion in United States Bankruptcy Court

by Stan Burman

Plaintiff’s summary judgment motion in United States Bankruptcy Court in Bankruptcy Court is the topic of this blog post.

A Plaintiff’s summary judgment motion in United States Bankruptcy Court can be filed under the provisions of Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 7056 and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56 which states in pertinent part that summary judgment is proper where “the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” See Fed. R. Civ. P 56(a) and Fed. R. Bkr. P. 7056 (Rule 56)

Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 7056 states that, “Rule 56 F.R.Civ.P. applies in adversary proceedings, except that any motion for summary judgment must be made at least 30 days before the initial date set for an evidentiary hearing on any issue for which summary judgment is sought, unless a different time is set by local rule or the court orders otherwise.”

Deadline for filing a Plaintiff’s summary judgment motion in United States Bankruptcy Court.

A Plaintiff’s summary judgment motion in United States Bankruptcy Court must be filed no later than 30 days after the close of all discovery in the case unless a different time is specified by a local rule or specific order of the Court.

The moving party should give at least 31 calendar days notice of the motion unless a different time is specified by a local rule or specific order of the Judge hearing the case. The moving party should carefully review the local rules for their Court as well as standing orders for the Judge as many districts and even individual Judges have very specific rules and procedures that must be followed.

One United States Bankruptcy Court that has very specific local rules is the Central District of California where local rules require that the moving party must meet and confer with the opposing party in an attempt to resolve any issues before any motion is filed and local rule 7056-1 has very specific requirements for the documents that must be included with the motion including a requirement that a Statement of Uncontroverted Facts and Conclusions of Law and proposed Judgment granting summary judgment must be served and filed with the motion.

Filing a Plaintiff’s summary judgment motion in United States Bankruptcy Court under Rule 56 should be considered by any plaintiff who can show that their complaint clearly alleges sufficient facts to establish each and every required element of all causes of action contained in the complaint and that the answer filed by a defendant consists of nothing but generic “boilerplate” affirmative defenses which fail to state any facts sufficient to constitute affirmative defenses and that the discovery responses provided by defendant are also deficient and lacking in any specific facts or evidence.

The United States Supreme Court has stated that the moving party on a Rule 56 motion for summary judgment has the burden of demonstrating that there is no genuine issue of fact in dispute that requires a trial.

Once the moving party has met their burden the party opposing the motion cannot just rely on any denials in their pleadings but instead they must set forth specific facts showing a genuine issue of fact in dispute that requires trial.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has stated that the opposing party cannot defeat a motion for summary judgment simply by relying on conclusory allegations that are not supported by any evidence.  And they have also stated that an issue of fact alone is not sufficient reason to deny a motion for summary judgment unless there is a genuine issue of material fact that is capable of directly affecting the outcome of the case, and that the evidence must be substantial and not merely speculative.
