September 7, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER granting #6 Motion to Vacate THE COURT'S DISMISSAL ORDER AND RESPONSE TO THE COURT'S AUGUST 29, 2022 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE and hereby VACATES the dismissal of its complaint.

September 6, 2022 Filing 6 MOTION to Vacate THE COURT'S DISMISSAL ORDER AND RESPONSE TO THE COURT'S AUGUST 29, 2022 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE by United States of America. (Attachments: #1 Proposed Order) (York, Benton)
September 6, 2022 Opinion or Order VACATED ORDER DISMISSING CASE. Plaintiff having failed to timely respond to this Court's Order to Show Cause, and it appearing that the settlement agreement upon which this case is based was never submitted to or approved by the Bankruptcy Court although entered into during defendants' bankruptcy proceeding, the case is dismissed, and the Clerk is directed to enter judgment accordingly. Ordered by Judge Brian M. Cogan on 9/6/2022. (Cogan, Brian) Modified on 9/7/2022 to Vacate order of dismissal (Guzzi, Roseann).
August 29, 2022 Opinion or Order ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE deferring ruling on #5 . Plaintiff has demonstrated excusable neglect for the missed deadline, but there is a bigger problem. Notwithstanding the non-dischargeability of plaintiff's tax claim in bankruptcy, an agreement between a debtor and a creditor made during the pendency of the debtor's bankruptcy case is not enforceable unless the settlement is submitted to and approved by the Bankruptcy Court. See e.g. In re Big Apple Volkswagen LLC, 571 B.R. 43 (S.D.N.Y. 2017). Having reviewed the bankruptcy court docket, it does not appear that the settlement agreement that plaintiff seeks to enforce was ever submitted to or approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Plaintiff is therefore ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE by 9/5/2022 why this action should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim. Ordered by Judge Brian M. Cogan on 8/29/2022. (Weisberg, Peggy)

August 19, 2022 Opinion or Order ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE. By Order entered 8/3/22, plaintiff was ordered to submit its ex parte motion for judgment no later than 8/17/22. It failed to do so. Plaintiff is therefore ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE by 8/26/22 why this action should not be dismissed for failure to comply with Court Orders. Ordered by Judge Brian M. Cogan on 8/19/2022. (Scott, Quadri)
