Vendramin v. Henry (Bankr. N.D. Ind. Apr. 30, 2015) – Court dismisses nondischargebility action after trial where plaintiff failed to establish the debtor owed a debt to the plaintiff.
The bankruptcy court denies the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment in this nondischargeability action. The plaintiff’s motion asserted the debtor was collaterally estopped from arguing facts contrary to those deemed admitted by him in the prepetition state court action. The court states that requests for admission are only good for the proceeding in which they are made and have no bearing in subsequent litigation. Such facts cannot support a claim of collateral estoppel. Opinion below.
The bankruptcy court denies the defendants’ motion to dismiss the adversary proceeding. The trustee had sued the defendants in state court seeking to avoid certain stock transactions with the debtor. The trustee then removed the action to the bankruptcy court, and the defendants moved to dismiss based on lack of subject matter jurisdiction and mandatory abstention. The court has jurisdiction because the determination of the trustee’s claims has a significant impact on the debtor’s estate. Further, the court is not required to abstain, because abstention requires an action to be pending in another court. Because the case was removed to the bankruptcy court, there was no longer an action pending in state court. Opinion below.
