MEMORANDUM OPINION
This matter came before the Court on the Trustee/Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment.
FINDINGS OF FACT
This adversary proceeding is based on a claim by the Trustee that there were payments made to Maria Rowles, the Defendant (within a year of the Debtor's bankruptcy petition being filed), who is the mother of the Debtor, on funds previously loaned by Ms. Rowles to the Debtor. The above facts are supported by the affidavits of both the Debtor and Ms. Rowles.
Ms. Rowles, who is a creditor of the Debtor, received repayment of the funds she loaned to the Debtor. There are numerous creditors in this case that did not receive repayment, and the law provides a remedy to the Trustee to recover the payments made to a creditor when the other creditors did not get paid. That is the basis of the Trustee's lawsuit and upon which this judgment is entered.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Based upon the evidence as set out above it appears that the Trustee/Plaintiff is entitled to a judgment in his favor and against the Defendant, Maria Rowles, for the sum of $6,000.00.
A separate judgment will be entered conforming to this memorandum opinion.
