L'AnzA Research International, Inc. v. Quality King Distributors, Inc., a New York Corporationgreen2 sentences2022Because Cruz did not object in bankruptcy court to the HOA’s proof of claim concerning the lien, the claim was deemed allowed. ( 11 U.S.C. § 502 (a).) The HOA’s allowed claim was binding on Cruz and because it was “‘in the nature of a final judgment,’” it served as the basis for a “‘plea of res judicata.’” (Siegel, supra, 143 F.3d at p. 529.) Cruz’s contention that the claim raised in the bankruptcy proceeding is not identical to the claim here is based on her contention that the value of the claims was different. 2022As we discuss above, the validity of the lien was established when the HOA filed a proof of claim in Cruz’s bankruptcy case and Cruz did not file an objection. ( 11 U.S.C. § 502 (a); Siegel, supra, 143 F.3d at p. 529.) An allowed claim is the equivalent of a final judgment for res judicata purposes. | 1 | 2 |

Typically, an appellant in a noncriminal case seeking reversal based on a standard of proof error must show “it is reasonably probable the trial court would have [ruled differently on] the petition had it applied the correct standard of proof.” (Conservatorship of Maria B.

Burkart v. Coleman (In Re Tippett)
green
1 sentence2024On January 15, 2013, Jeffrey Golden was appointed as trustee for the bankruptcy estate of Aletheia (Trustee).4 3 Aletheia filed a petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which the bankruptcy court subsequently converted to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. “‘[C]hapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code . . . embodies two ideals: (1) giving the individual debtor a fresh start, by giving him a discharge of most of his debts; and (2) equitably distributing a debtor’s assets among competing creditors.’” (Burkart v. Coleman (In re Tippett) (9th Cir. 2008) 542 F.3d 684 , 689; 11 U.S.C. § 701 et seq.) 4 “‘Under the Bankrupt | 1 | 2024–2024 |
People v. McDaniels
green
1 sentence2024Attempting to determine whether the standard of proof error was harmless because the juvenile court would have denied the petition in any event, even had it applied the correct standard, would “involve[] some degree of conjecture.” (People v. McDaniels (2018) 22 Cal.App.5th 420, 426 .) Under different circumstances, this court must engage in such conjecture to honor the constitutional mandate that we not set a judgment aside unless the error “has resulted in a miscarriage of justice,” i.e., prejudice, particularly in dependency cases which emphasize the import of ensuring finality. | 1 | 2024–2024 |
Blakely v. Washington
green
1 sentence2023During oral argument, Icona’s counsel acknowledged the middle term is the maximum sentence that may be imposed “solely on the basis of the facts admitted in the guilty plea” or “reflected in the jury verdict.” (Blakely v. Washington (2004) 542 U.S. 296 , 303–304, italics omitted.) This makes the middle term the DSL’s “ ‘statutory maximum’ for Apprendi purposes.” (Id. at p. 303.) However, Icona’s counsel contended subdivision (b)(6) provides a separate “statutory maximum” under Apprendi. | 1 | 2023–2023 |
