Bankruptcy Court Decision Challenge

Summary

The Rooker-Feldman Doctrine generally prevents federal courts from reviewing state court judgments, implying that state laws, such as Massachusetts usury laws, should be respected. The bankruptcy courts decision to lift the automatic stay may have misapplied this doctrine by ignoring state usury laws. Relevant case law, including *Bynoe v. Baca* and *Bartenwerfer v. Buckley*, supports the argument that claims not heard on their merits can be reopened. Massachusetts usury laws, under MGL Chapter 271, Section 49, prohibit interest rates exceeding 20% per annum, and violations can lead to criminal charges. The court has discretion to void or reform contracts based on these laws. Consider consulting a legal professional for personalized advice.

- State Court Judgment: The Rooker-Feldman Doctrine prevents the federal bankruptcy court from overturning the state court judgment against me. - State Law Not Adjudicated: Despite opposing counsel's claims, the state court did not adjudicate the private lender's violation of criminal usury laws. *. Relevant Case Law: - Bynoe v. Baca, * F.3d * (9th Cir. *): - Rule *(b) motions often prioritize finality, but in *Bynoe*, the Court held that finality concerns were not applicable where the claims were never heard on their merits. - The Court emphasized that reopening a procedural decision does not impact finality if the underlying claims were never adjudicated. - Similarly, in my case, the state court judgment was based on fraudulent evidence and procedural issues, and my claims were never heard on their merits

I am pro se in this matter . Can you edit the Intoduction to incorporate that judge can not hold the Rooker Feldman doctrine as to his decision to lift my staty and not apply under section * a which states that a state law takes precident over a fersal law.
Here's a revised introduction incorporating your points:

I am representing myself (pro se) in this matter. The decision by the bankruptcy judge to lift my stay is improper under the Rooker-Feldman Doctrine, which generally prevents federal courts from reviewing state court judgments. Furthermore, the judge's decision fails to consider Massachusetts' usury laws, which should take precedence under Section *(a)(*)(A). This section, reinforced by the Supreme Court's ruling in *Bartenwerfer v. Buckley*, argues that the debt was obtained through fraudulent actions by parties other than the debtor, further justifying relief.

If the Rooker feldman Doctrine is the desion than so be it : the state court 's law take precoident than this court must hold up the Massachusetts usury law chapter * section *. anything else would seem to contardict the court's descision.
Next, you may want to focus on presenting your argument regarding how the bankruptcy court's decision misapplied the Rooker-Feldman Doctrine and ignored Massachusetts usury laws and Section *(a)(*)(A). Here's a suggested outline for your next section:
---
II. Argument
*. Misapplication of the Rooker-Feldman Doctrine:
- The Rooker-Feldman Doctrine prevents federal courts from re-litigating issues already decided by state courts.
- The decision to lift the automatic stay improperly reviews the state court judgment, violating this doctrine.
*. Failure to Consider Massachusetts Usury Laws (MGL Chapter *, Section *):
- State law dictates that debts obtained under usurious terms are unenforceable.
- The bankruptcy court's decision ignored the fact that the debt was obtained through a violation of Massachusetts usury laws, which have not been adjudicated in state court.
*. Section *(a)(*)(A) and Fraudulent Debt:
- Under Section *(a)(*)(A), debts obtained through fraud are non-dischargeable.
- The Supreme Court's ruling in *Bartenwerfer v. Buckley* reinforcesthat fraudulent actions by parties other than the debtor justify relief.
- The bankruptcy court failed to consider that the debt was obtained through fraudulent actions, further justifying relief under Section *(a)(*)(A).
*. Contradiction of Court's Decision:
- If the Rooker-Feldman Doctrine is applied, state court laws, including Massachusetts usury laws, should take precedence.
- Ignoring these laws contradicts the court's decision and undermines the validity of the judgment.
Would you like to add any specific points or further details to this section?
Including this - State Court Judgment: The Rooker-Feldman Doctrine prevents the federal bankruptcy court from overturning the state court judgment against me. - State Law Not Adjudicated: Despite opposing counsel's claims, the state court did not adjudicate the private lender's violation of criminal usury laws. *. Relevant Case Law: - Bynoe v.

It seems like your argument is primarily focused on the improper application of the Rooker-Feldman Doctrine and the need to adjudicate state usury laws.

In addition if it had been this casw would not be in federal court pending right now for illegal forclsoure, criminal usuray and 93A and breach of contract. See case no xxxxx . The procedural decision can be reopened without impacting finality if underlying claims were not adjudicated. Similarly, the state court judgment in my case was based on fraudulent evidence and procedural issues, and my claims were never heard on their merits.

Motion to Void Judgment That Lifted Automatic Stay
I. Introduction:
This motion seeks to void the judgment dated [date], in which Honorable Judge Panos lifted the automatic stay based on incorrect facts and fraudulent evidence. Pursuant to Rule *(b)(*), (*), and (*) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the judgment is void ab initio as it was obtained through fraud, misrepresentation, and violated due process. Additionally, under the fraud exception to debt discharge in Section *(a)(*)(A), as reinforced by the Supreme Court's ruling in *Bartenwerfer v. Buckley*, this motion argues that the debt was obtained through fraudulent actions by parties other than the debtor, further justifying relief. Fraud is defined and limited by state law, whereby the debt the claimant is seeking ownership to title is in violation of Massachusetts state usury laws defined under MGL Chapter *, Section *, and has not been adjudicated in a state court despite the claimant's claim otherwise, further justifying relief.
II. Argument:
*. Rooker-Feldman Doctrine: The bankruptcy court's decision to lift the automatic stay relies on the Rooker-Feldman Doctrine, which generally prevents federal courts from overturning state court judgments. However, this doctrine also implies that state laws should be respected. Thus, Massachusetts usury laws under MGL Chapter *, Section *, must be upheld.
*. State Usury Laws Ignored: Despite opposing counsel's claims, the state court did not adjudicate the private lender's violation of criminal usury laws. Ignoring these laws contradicts the principle of the Rooker-Feldman Doctrine, which mandates adherence to state court decisions and laws. Allowing this contradiction would violate my constitutional rights to due process and fairness. It is inconsistent for the court to uphold the Rooker-Feldman Doctrine to lift my stay while ignoring it to not lift my stay.

Next section case law or my evidence section?
You should proceed with the "Relevant Case Law" and "Evidence" sections to strengthen your motion. Here’s a suggested structure:
III. Relevant Case Law:
- Bynoe v. Baca: The Ninth Circuit held that finality concerns do not apply when claims were never heard on their merits. The foreclosure was in violation of Massachusetts criminal usury laws, which were not adjudicated in state court. If they had been, this case would not be pending in federal court for illegal foreclosure, criminal usury, violations under Chapter 93A, and breach of contract (see case no. xxxxx). The procedural decision can be reopened without impacting finality if underlying claims were not adjudicated. Similarly, the state court judgment in my case was based on fraudulent evidence and procedural issues, and my claims were never heard on their merits.
- Supreme Court Ruling: The Supreme Court in *Bartenwerfer v. Buckley*, No. *-*, held that the fraud exception to debt discharge under Section *(a)(*)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code can include fraud by someone other than the debtor. Additionally, the Court emphasized that the actual scope of liability for another’s fraud isdefined and limited by state law.
IV. Evidence:
*. State Court Judgment:
- The Rooker-Feldman Doctrine prevents the federal bankruptcy court from overturning the state court judgment against me.
- Despite opposing counsel's claims, the state court did not adjudicate the private lender's violation of criminal usury laws.
*. Documents and Records:
- Loan agreement showing interest rate exceeding *% per annum.
- Correspondence and records indicating the lack of notification to the attorney general as required by MGL Chapter *, Section *(d).
- Evidence of fraudulent actions by parties other than the debtor.
*. Testimonies and Affidavits:
- Affidavit stating that the usury laws were not adjudicated in the state court.
- Testimonies from witnesses corroborating the fraudulent evidence and procedural issues.
Would you like any additional modifications or details?
Next section case law or my evidence section?
Your motion is well-structured and the arguments are compelling. To proceed effectively, I recommend the next section should be Case Law. This will provide a solid legal foundation for your arguments before you present your evidence. Here’s how you can format it:

III. Relevant Case Law
*. Bynoe v. Baca:
- The Ninth Circuit held that finality concerns do not apply when claims were never heard on their merits. The foreclosure in question violated Massachusetts criminal usury laws, which were not adjudicated in state court. Had they been, this case would not be pending in federal court for illegal foreclosure, criminal usury, violations under Chapter 93A, and breach of contract (see case no. xxxxx). The procedural decision can be reopened without impacting finality if underlying claims were not adjudicated. Similarly, the state court judgment in my case was based on fraudulent evidence and procedural issues, and my claims were never heard on their merits.
*. Supreme Court Ruling in Bartenwerfer v. Buckley:
- The Supreme Court in *Bartenwerfer v. Buckley*, No. *-*, held that the fraud exception to debt dischargeunder Section *(a)(*)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code can include fraud by someone other than the debtor. Section * of the Bankruptcy Code exempts from discharge "any debt ... for money, property, services, or an extension, renewal, or refinancing of credit to the extent obtained by false representation, or actual fraud..." * U.S.C. Section *(a)(*)(A). Additionally, the Court emphasized that the Bankruptcy Code balances multiple competing interests, reasoning that the actual scope of liability for another’s fraud is defined and limited by state law.
