the issue in this appeal the primary issue in this appeal is whether the bankruptcy court aired in denying equable tolling where the chapter seven trustee in this case made and there's an issue as to whether the court erred in applying the taylor decision to the undisputed fac the plaintiffs have argued the stopcock rule applies in this to the section five forty six act statue of limitations they've a rgued that the trustee should have had two years from the date of her discovery when she received notice of these claims from the plaintiffs and they also declarations of the trustee she filed a declaration in reply to the plaintiff's objection to her motion to approve a compromise for her time and filed avoidance action and in that meeting and her declaration she was very candid she said she had investigated all facts before she filed timely complaint and determined there were no other actions that she wanted to pursue in that complaint she also was wrote was candid about what she felt declaration or at pages three twenty eight to three forty of the of the excerpts in number twenty three she stated in her declaration that in her opinion the creditors were pursuing something of a personal vendetta or crusade against the debtor and her relatives and wanted to do so hurt to do so on their behalf she stated i do not believe that going on such a fishing expedition is appropriate in my role as trustee as early as november of two thousand and eleven when at her request the letter produced six months of the bank statements at that time she's testified she she did have notice of a possible preference from that same account she pursued it and it was settled and that was resolved she testified that after she had filed her timely complaint that her or her action was settled and dismissed there after the plaintiffs came forward and said well the bar of the statute of fraud i mean at the bar of the statute of limitations and the bankruptcy court correctly determined that under those facts with that kind of testimony from the this court have been very clear the air cooled tolling should only be used sparingly and and these are not the kind of facts that would ever justify equitable to in fact allowing at will tolling here would really impede a trustee from making her own independent business decision in the case and it has been applied primarily in the he'd be as cases where people are are losing their freedom their they're being deported and but it hasn't been tolling should be rarely apply it needs to be on a factual case by case basis that is determined whether or not you have justification for equable tolling and you need to meet both diligence after that extraordinary circumstances has has ended well and so cop you wouldn't even look at that so you see  delay in determining the first problem that the person still has gets that after you determine the first from the second problem the person still gets the benefit of the whole time if you find that there was not excessive  good but are we bound by gibbs well i mean we have we ourselves of that there was some tension right but gibbs will give what sort of be sort of a last word on that and i don't think that this panel doesn't have the authority to go around gi trustee two years in which to investigate and file avoidance actions obviously the problem we have here is that we would have to accept that the filing of a chapter seven assets didn't list dollar assets so he had the debtor was blocking the trustee from doing the ordinary kind of discovery that they would do i'm not sure the record completely supports but those were the diligently decided not to make electronic and then it was it was a few days before the statute of limitations ran that additional information came to the attention of the trustees i correct claim and she for have this declaration for them she still stated in that declaration i see still no evidence of fraudulent transfers so i think you know she had her that the trustee quote discovered or could have discovered the paragraph thirty transfers that were the subject of the summary judgment rule so there was a credible tolling until september two thousand and thirteen and the discussion about what occurred before then by counsel is irrelevant now what do we have when we get to two thousand and thirteen what the trustee said in the declaration was not exactly what counsel portrayed she said at the beginning of september two thousand thirteen she had allegations by my clients in a book of documents that had been provided that there were still a whack of documentation that there would be greater complexity  pursuing the fraudulent transfer claims that are the subject of the underlying adversary persuaded my clients eventually commenced that there had been a lack of cooperation by them from the debtor that affected her decision now counsel cited a few times to a declaration that the trustee filed in support of a compromise motion that was filed in may of two thousand and fourteen where the trustee in defending the compromise that gave miss grants clients fraud releases that i've done a full investigation evidence with my client she changed her mind and she limited the releases in that settlement to the transfers that were alleged in the adversary that was dean satellite and thereby preserved claims from all the fraudulent transfers that were then later filed by my clients in the underlying adversary so that's the part that counsel didn't tell you about trustee change of mind and then deferred to my clients as trust ees often do to the largest creditor pursue the claims so at the point of september two thousand and thirteen under so cough going to stop clock roll my client then has two years or the trustee had two years from brief for the proposition that a three judge panel may not reconsider overrule circuit court precedent unless there's an intervening supreme court decision that undermines the ninth circuit precedent you have none cited and the intervening not the intervening supreme court precedent is on a case close to the one before the court which i'll sit on the fridge if you're up if you are  the other ones are b s cases where it's a it's an entirely different rule particularly in california where california doesn't have a fixed time for filing filing your state your state habeas so we kind of we we do have a fixed time here so clock roll also being applied in vendor two i'm sorry bender three the ninth circuit unpublished decision from two thousand and twelve i believe which applied something to the bankruptcy context and it to your limitation period so cop the stopped clock roll gave the plaintiff in that case a full time period under the statute of limitations so you do see it in other situations before the ninth circuit polls and published in unpublished decisions now answer your question directly why should it apply here for all the policy reasons that were discussed and so called and there were four reasons it is needlessly difficult to determine when the period of the limitation period stopped after polling after that you get the fall two year period of time and you can take the full period to file the claim we don't need to look at diligence after the discovery at all that's correct and i think you have said something else so that's why i'm trying to clarify whether itself it is not quote determinant how can we determine whether your clients were diligent post discovery since there were no findings in the district or used the right i mean the bankruptcy court used the wrong standard don't go it when we have to if we agree with you when we have to the post discovery diligence is to be considered in a broader diligence assessment and looking back to the police discovered period is there some conduct by the trustee in the post discovery period that would suggest that pretty discovery she  clients once they knew of the other one that's a different question because my clients are simply stepping into the trusteeship is our diligence is not the issue the trustee was the one with the right to pursue the fraudulent transfer claims my client finally got assigned estate and it filed september fourteenth and the stipulation was followed about september fourteenth fifteenth two thousand and fourteen and i believe our complaint was filed the very next day when the judges i think it's the seventeenth o think that's exactly right we don't get an edge because now we're somebody who's newly stumping and i agree with that proposition i did want to just say one of a few other things about this and move on just townshend evidences are findings or anything especially when you have a clear finding that precept ember thirty two thousand and thirteen the trustee had been diligent if she sat on her hands after first learning of the transfers and september two thousand and thirteen that's not going to reflect on whether she it's not determinative particularly on the facts so what you're saying is a soak up applies we don't have to worry about the trustees diligence but if there's if he laid the games case over overlays that to some extent then you would have to determine the diligence of the trustee post the ending of the tolling period i mean it in some fashion then we'd have to judge by b says you have to make a determination about post diligence speaking to make a determination whether because we have to remember equitable tolling is equitable a minute's doctrine of whether it's equitable under the circumstances not like a statute of limitations which has a two year period and you consider in your hands three conclusion without having the benefit of the evidence or legal discussion that the bankruptcy court in the baptists reached and you can assume at the preplanning level that transfers by charlene's transportation inc corporation are not debtor money we settle this side of a lot of cases where transfers by a corporation can be treated as a dividend to the debtor that they could be shifted salary and we also pointed out that c t i was alleged to be the alter ego were made in the complaint so i would just suggest that the bankruptcy court in the back up prejudge the allegations of the derivative claims which also could be direct claims not to early in the case without having filed very early in the case shortly after the answers were filed and right but if it was decided on summary judgment then you were effectively conceding to the court that the facts were in yeah that's right we submitted the facts in opposition and i her declaration she still doesn't see any evidence of the transfers so you know we have a case in which a trustee all the way through right but then she was willing to give them an opportunity to prove what they could are they are they stopped by her fight but if that's the case we would we would never get things that would be assigned by the by the trustee to back to the creditors she didn't give them any more than what she had at that point there was nothing stipulation you were in a party to it like the next you know after we approve the compromise that that is that the cheat that they can bring whatever claims that they thought they had at that point she didn't know i'm we didn't wave defenses to that she didn't gain any more as a result of us limiting the release that wasn't she didn't give them any more than what she had at that point  trustee where we had here a creditor to come in and say oh well i think you should bring these cases these claims and since you've never seen him before we get another two years to bring it it doesn't make sense for you sat determine time by congress from the date of filing to that two years the bender cases post petition transfers are different that's where you have a transfer that's been hit that isn't the case here we had an election trustee made a business decision not to bring these claims she was very articulate about it in her declaration thank you counsel thank you now the verses temple
