In re IT, LLC

UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF ALASKA
May 1, 2015

JUDGE HERB ROSS (Recalled)

In Chapter 7

MEMORANDUM DECLINING TO DELAY EFFECT OF ORDER OF DISMISSAL BECAUSE OF OPPOSITION OF LPD BOOKKEEPING [ECF NO. 26]

On April 24, 2015, the court entered an Order Dismissing Case and Providing for Notice. ECF No. 18. The effect of the order was stayed until Friday, May 1, 2015, at 5:00 p.m. ADT to allow for a short window of time for creditors of the debtor who had not received notice of the dismissal hearing to object. The order provided: "If an objection is filed, the court will determine if it is appropriate to continue the stay of dismissal to conduct further proceedings or, rather, allow the dismissal to go into effect."

LPD Bookkeeping & Accounting Services filed a pro forma opposition on April 30, 2015, saying it was not listed on the schedules and was still owed money which it has not been able to collect. ECF No. 26. In form, LPD's opposition was very similar to an opposition by Replacement Glass, which has been withdrawn. ECF 24 and 25.

The schedules were not prepared by Bob Gross. LPD was not listed on Gross's list of trade debt, Exhibit 1, to the motion to dismiss hearing held on April 23, 2015. The amount due is not stated in LPD's opposition. I conjecture it may have been a bill from the time when Meritage Management was managing Inlet Towers, and even if it was not, LPD will get quicker relief by bringing a claim in state court rather than waiting for a reorganization.

Therefore the court will enter an order that dismissal of this case will not be delayed because of LPD's opposition.

DATED: May 1, 2015
