Bankruptcy
In re Kenny G. Enterprises, LLC— The insured property owners who purchased a multi-million dollar residential property in Northern CA from a debtor, after confirmation of the debtor’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan, found that the Chapter 11 trustee had filed an adversary proceeding alleging the sale to be a fraudulent transfer. On appeal, the appellate court reversed the trial court’s denial of our motion to dismiss holding that that U.S. Bankruptcy Code § 544(b) only applies to pre-bankruptcy petition transfers. The appellate court remanded the case to the trial court instructing the clerk to enter judgment in our clients’ favor consistent with the appellate opinion; resulting in dismissal of the case, and entry of judgment in our client’s favor; Tomas Ortiz, Jennifer Slater, and Zi Lin; USDC, C.D. Cal (June 2014).
