Opposition to Sanctions Motions

Get separate counsel to file 11 for corp. You can write two plans, or make a motion to consolidate. Buchalter is able to sue corp.

If there is a close nexus (which no doubt there is), then some alternatives include a motion under 105 (like they did in Detroit's bk) or a corporate Chapter 11 (possibly with substantive consolidation). Just my thoughts. You should speak/consult with one of the big wigs in the cdcbaa in private about what you should do next.

Only the debtor's ownership interest of the corporation, i.e. the shares of stock, are assets of the bankruptcy estate. Just because the debtor claims the corporation's assets as the debtor's own in Schedule B does not make them an asset of the bankruptcy case. The corporation's creditors have every right to pursue claims against it in state court, regardless of the shareholders bankruptcy or the impact on the debtor's bankruptcy.

>> All help appreciated. Creditor, represented by Buchalter Nemer filed a second state court lawsuit against Debtors Corporation while Debtors are in Ch 11 going after Debtors assets and for a fraud judgment against just the corporation, not naming the Debtors in the lawsuit. 100% of Debtors income is derived from the profits of its corporation. Adversary action filed to stop the Lawsuit on the basis the assets of the corporation are property of the Bankruptcy Estate, listed on Schedule B, Debtors' potential of reorganization is good, the income to fund the plan is 100% from Debtors earnings from the corporation, and if the assets are seized by the creditor debtor will not have the means to replace. The assets are work trucks, tools, etc.
