Case Update

A new document related to the McKinney bankruptcy case was filed on 7/9/2012. The document, a Scheduling Order, was filed under the separate case of 12-6024, which is the adversary case brought by the trustee against the McKinneys in May of this year. In this case the trustee (the plaintiff) has accused the McKinneys (the defendants) of not disclosing certain accounts, assets, income, of manipulating income earning potential and other accusations as detailed in the Complaint.

The most recent document, filed on July 9th, sets out the schedule for the discovery, which is the period of time given for both parties to essentially get evidence together for their cases and to prepare for trial. The discovery period will conclude on September 7th, 2012. All non-dispositive motions from both parties are due by September 7th, 2012. All dispositive motions are due by October 9, 2012. After this date the case will be considered ready for trial.

------------
Dispositive motions: motions that seek to dispose of all or part of the claims or parties, except motions for default judgment. They include motions to dismiss a party or claim, motions for summary judgment.

Non-dispositive motions: all other motions, including but not limited to discovery, third party practice, temporary relief, intervention or amendment of pleadings.

Edit: Just to reiterate, I respectfully request that users of this site not post contentious comments on JM's sites. This is for several reasons. First of all it does not further our cause one bit; in fact it may detract from it. Secondly JM is 100% in control of her sites, not us, and will use anything that we give her to her advantage. Third and finally, it drives additional traffic to her sites and this is in direct opposition to our intent. Thank you.

Segment 2 of the creditors meeting is now available via the Creditors Meeting II page.

Many thanks to reader tinycandi for sorting out and explaining some of the confusion around the amended bankruptcy documents that were filed on 4/12/2012. It now seems more likely that the McKinney's attorney incorrectly listed Chapter 13 on the front page of the documents, when in fact the filing still seems to be for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In addition, the Becker property is being listed as future debt repayment, similar to the IRS debt, not as an expected monthly expense.

Bankruptcy Revision

Putting up a new post to restart the comment count.

Amended (and previously missing) bankruptcy documents were filed with PACER on 4/12 and are now available on the Bankruptcy Documents page. Of note is a switch from Chapter 7 to Chapter 13 and an increase in the amount of income reported for the filing period. In addition the Becker property payment is now being used to calculate monthly expenditures, resulting in a negative net income calculation.

Segment 1 of the creditors meeting held on 3/5/2012 is now available as a transcript. Segments 2 and 3 will be added as soon as they are finished.
