Date Filed Document Text
April 28, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 8 OPINION AND ORDER: Accordingly, the Court concludes that, in a SIPA proceeding such as this, a defendant may succeed on a motion to dismiss by showing that the complaint does not plausibly allege that that defendant did not act in good faith. Because this determination must be made on the basis of the specific allegations in the Trustee's various complaints, the Court, having set out the general framework, hereby leaves it to the Bankruptcy Court to determine in any given instance whether the foregoing standards have been met. Accordingly, the Court directs that the following adversary proceedings be returned to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings consistent with this Opinion and Order: (1) those cases listed in Exhibit A of item number 197 on the docket of 12 Misc. 115; and (2) those cases listed in the schedule attached to item number 468 on the docket of 12 Misc. 115 that were designated as having been added to the "good faith" consolidated briefing. (Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff on 4/27/2014) (mro)
April 24, 2014 Mailed notice re: #5 Notice of Case Assignment/Reassignment to the Plaintiff(s) of record. (sbr)
January 4, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 7 OPINION & ORDER: #102762 In sum, the Court follows other courts in this District, as well as its own prior precedent, in concluding that, though Stern precludes the Bankruptcy Court from finally deciding avoidance actions (unless, possibly, the Trustee has sought to disallow a claim to the estate under 502(d)), the Bankruptcy Court nonetheless has the power to hear the matter in the first instance and recommend proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law. The Court further declines to withdraw the reference of these cases to the Bankruptcy Court "for cause shown" before the Bankruptcy Court has issued appropriate findings of fact and conclusions of law. Except to the extent provided in other orders, the Court directs that what remains of the adversary proceedings listed in Exhibits A and C of item number four on the docket of 12 Misc. 115 be returned to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings consistent with this Opinion and Order. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff on 1/4/2013) ***Docketed pursuant to entry docketed in 12mc115 on 6/7/2013.*** (tro)
