Motion To Vacate Judgment

Summary

A motion to vacate a judgment can be filed under Rule 60(b) for reasons such as fraud, excusable neglect, or newly discovered evidence. In this case, the plaintiff alleges fraud upon the court by a financial advisor who misrepresented facts and orchestrated asset transfers under false pretenses. The plaintiff seeks to vacate a default judgment and stay the sale of a judgment due to these fraudulent activities. It is advisable to file separate motions for vacating the judgment and for an emergency stay of the sale to ensure clarity and proper attention from the court. Consider consulting with a bankruptcy attorney for guidance on filing and presenting evidence.

He promised that he would return my name to the stock power documents the following year. He did not, and I never received any money for the share transfer. I have the share transfer document (Exhibit B). Here's the polished background section incorporating your provided details: ---

Given the urgency of the sale, it is advisable to seek an emergency request for a stay of the sale. Would you like guidance on how to file an emergency motion or any other assistance with your next steps?
Can I file emergency request to stay the sale in this section? Or do I need to file an additional motion?
You will need to file an additional motion for an emergency request to stay the sale.
Here's a brief guide on how to proceed:
*. Draft an Emergency Motion:
- Title it "Emergency Motion to Stay Sale of Judgment."
- Clearly state the urgency and the reasons why staying the sale is necessary.
- Reference the potential irreparable harm and the newly discovered evidence of fraud.
*. Include Supporting Documents:
- Attach your Motion to Vacate Judgment.
- Include relevant exhibits that support your claims of fraud and bad faith.
*. File with the Court:
- Submit the emergency motion to the court where your case is being heard.
- Request an expedited hearing date.
Would you like a template for the emergency motion?
Can I file just the Emergency Motion inluding all the information or you think its best to keep them separate?
It's generally advisable to keep them separate. Filing a Motion to Vacate Judgment and an Emergency Motion to Stay the Sale as two distinct documents can help ensure that each receives the proper attention and consideration. The emergency motion should focus on the immediate need to stay the sale, while the motion to vacate should thoroughly address the legal grounds for vacating the judgment.
Would you like a template for the emergency motion?
see above
It's generally advisable to file the Emergency Motion to Stay Sale of Judgment separately from the Motion to Vacate Judgment. Having separate motions helps the court clearly distinguish between the immediate need to stay the sale and the broader issues of vacating the judgment. This also ensures that the urgency of the stay request is not lost in the details of the motion to vacate.

UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND
In re:
Classic Display, Inc., Debtor
Case No. *:*-bk-*
Chapter *
EMERGENCY MOTION TO STAY SALE OF JUDGMENT
INTRODUCTION:
The Plaintiff, James Cronan, respectfully requests an emergency stay of the sale of the judgment currently pending before the court.
ARGUMENT:
*. Urgency: The Trustee has filed a Motion for Approval of Sale of Judgments to * Fountain Street, LLC, which is owned by my partners and financial advisor, to purchase a $*,* judgment for $*,*. This sale is imminent and poses a substantial risk of irreparable harm.
*. **Fraud and Bad Faith: The judgment originated from actions influenced by my financial advisor’s fraudulent representation and manipulation of the bankruptcy process. Newly discovered evidence supports this claim.

*. Substantial Grounds for Relief: The Motion to Vacate Judgment, which accompanies this motion, provides substantial evidence of excusable neglect, lack of notice, and newly discovered evidence that warrants vacating the default judgment.
REQUEST FOR RELIEF:
Given the urgency and the substantial evidence presented, I respectfully request that this honorable court:
*. Grant an Emergency Stay: Stay the sale of the judgment pending the resolution of the Motion to Vacate Judgment.
*. Expedited Hearing: Schedule an expedited hearing to address this emergency motion and the Motion to Vacate Judgment.

Would you like any additional assistance with the motions or any other part of your case?
Question: So because the trustee just filed thid motion it gave me a right to open the underlying judgement against me? In addition because theres fruad upon the court I have a right at anytime to seek to vacate aj judgement against me?
In response to your questions:
*. The trustee's recent actions may provide grounds to revisit the underlying judgment against you, especially if you have new evidence or believe there was fraud involved.

*. Yes, under Rule *(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, you can seek to vacate a judgment at any time if there is evidence of fraud upon the court. This rule provides relief for reasons such as:
- Mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect.
- Newly discovered evidence that could not have been discovered in time to move for a new trial.
- Fraud, misrepresentation, or misconduct by an opposing party.
Would you like assistance with drafting a motion to vacate the judgment or any other specific part of your case?
Me doing this to I have to officially open up the case meaning be under the rules of a trustee and etc.?
Yes, you are correct in your understanding. Here’s a breakdown:
*. Right to Challenge the Judgment:
- Filing Motions: As a named party, you have the right to file motions, including the Motion to Vacate Judgment and the Emergency Motion to Stay Sale.
- Fraud Upon the Court: Under Rule *(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, you can seek relief from a judgment based on fraud upon the court at any time.
*. Reopening the Case:
- Bankruptcy Procedures: If you are filing a motion in the context of an ongoing bankruptcy case, you do not necessarily reopen the entire bankruptcy case. You are addressing specific issues within the existing case.
- Trustee’s Role: The trustee continues to have administrative duties, but your motions address specific legal issues like fraud and procedural errors, aiming to rectify past injustices.
Would you like assistance with any other documents or steps in this process?
So the other cases that I hope to win to recive damages that trusttee couldnt claim the damages as now ppart of the estate because I filed these two motions. Right? I just want to make sure I have been so hurt.
Your situation appears complex and serious, involving allegations of fraud and misrepresentation in a bankruptcy context. Given the potential for significant financial and personal harm, your pursuit of legal relief seems well-founded.
To address your question:
*. Trustee's Role and Claims:
- The trustee's primary role is to manage the bankruptcy estate, including collecting and liquidating assets to pay creditors.
- If your Motion to Vacate Judgment and Emergency Motion to Stay Sale are successful, it may impact the trustee's actions and the status of certain claims within the bankruptcy estate.
*. Winning Other Cases:
- If you win other cases and receive damages, whether those damages become part of the bankruptcy estate depends on various factors, including the timing of the claims and the nature of the damages.
- Generally, if the damages are awarded for personal injury or actions that occurred after the bankruptcy filing, they might not be part of the estate. However, if they are related to pre-bankruptcy actions, the trustee may have a claim.
*. Legal Strategy:
- It's essential to clearly document and differentiate the nature of the claims and damages.
- Consulting with a bankruptcy attorney can provide tailored guidance to protect your interests and ensureYour situation involves complex legal issues, including allegations of fraud and misrepresentation in a bankruptcy context. Given the potential for significant financial and personal harm, pursuing legal relief seems justified.

Would you like assistance with any specific documents or further
Now I am concerned and maybe I shouldnt file this . The claims - the bankruptcy court was actually used by my advisor filing fruadulent documents . Maybe its enough to show the Superior court where my civil case is now that the dfendants the adviosr and my partner just bought the judgement usung it as evidence of their ongoing bad faith fraud behavoir.
Your situation involves serious allegations of fraud and potentially significant legal ramifications. Here are some considerations:
- Evidence in Superior Court: You can indeed present the fraudulent actions and the new evidence in the Superior Court case to support your claims of ongoing bad faith and fraud by your advisor and partner.
- Filing Motions in Bankruptcy Court: Filing the motions in the bankruptcy court is still a viable option. It can address the fraudulent judgment and potentially relieve you of some legal burdens.
- Strategic Considerations: Consulting with a bankruptcy attorney can help you weigh the benefits and risks of filing these motions and how they may impact your ongoing civil case.
Would you like assistance with drafting a statement to present in Superior Court, or do you have any other specific questions?
see above
Your situation involves significant allegations of fraud and misrepresentation, making it essential to approach it carefully.
Given your concerns, here are a few suggestions:
*. Consult a Bankruptcy Attorney: Before making any decisions, consult a bankruptcy attorney who can provide tailored advice based on the specifics of your case. This will help you understand the potential implications of filing the motions and how they may impact your ongoing cases.
*. Evaluate Evidence for Superior Court: If you believe the evidence of fraudulent behavior is strong enough to support your case in Superior Court, you might consider using it there. Ensure that you clearly document the fraudulent actions and their impact on your case.
*. Consider the Impact on Other Cases: Reflect on how filing these motions may affect your other cases. If the damages you seek in other cases are significant, ensure that they are protected and not claimed by the bankruptcy estate.
*. Emergency Motion Strategy: If you decide to proceed with the Emergency Motion to Stay Sale, ensure that it is well-supported with evidence of fraud and the potential for irreparable harm.
Would you like help drafting a specific document or further guidance on any particular part of your case?
Thank you. I have another question. If a creditor files a motion to lift an automatic stay but hasent yet subitted the Proof of Claim which is need for distribution of the estate can that creditor still atke the action of evicting you or does he have to wait until the distribution?
In general, a creditor can file a motion to lift the automatic stay without having first submitted a Proof of Claim. The automatic stay is a powerful tool in bankruptcy that halts most collection activities, including evictions, but creditors can request the court to lift the stay under certain circumstances.
Here's a concise breakdown:
- Automatic Stay: Upon filing for bankruptcy, an automatic stay halts most legal actions against the debtor, including eviction processes.
- Motion to Lift Stay: A creditor can file a motion to lift this stay, arguing that their interests are not adequately protected or that the property is not necessary for the debtor's reorganization.
- Proof of Claim: Submitting a Proof of Claim is related to the creditor's right to receive distributions from the bankruptcy estate, not directly tied to lifting the stay.
The court will decide whether to grant the motion to lift the stay based on the specific facts and arguments presented. If the stay is lifted, the creditor may proceed with eviction regardless of whether they have submitted a Proof of Claim.
Would you like more detailed information on how to respond to a motion to lift the automatic stay?
next question. if the creditor does not file a proof of claim and his bar date has expired but he got the court to lift the stay does this event have any negative impact to either the credior or debtor or court?
If a creditor does not file a proof of claim by the bar date but successfully gets the court to lift the automatic stay, here’s how it might impact the parties involved:
- Creditor:
- Negative Impact: The creditor loses the right to receive distributions from the bankruptcy estate since they missed the bar date for filing a proof of claim.
- Positive Impact: The lifted stay allows the creditor to proceed with foreclosure or eviction outside of the bankruptcy process.
- Debtor:
- Negative Impact: The debtor may face foreclosure or eviction due to the lifted stay, losing the protection of the automatic stay.
- Positive Impact: The creditor’s failure to file a proof of claim might mean less competition for the debtor’s limited assets in the bankruptcy estate, benefiting other creditors.
- Court:
- Neutral Impact: The court’s role is to ensure the proper administration of the bankruptcy case. The lifting of the stay and failure to file a proof of claim are procedural matters handled as per bankruptcy rules.
Would you like more information on the implications of a lifted stay or guidance on addressing this issue?
see above
If a creditor successfully obtains a court order to lift the automatic stay but fails to file a Proof of Claim by the bar date, several potential consequences can arise:
*. Creditor's Rights:
- Eviction: The creditor can proceed with eviction or other actions as permitted by the court's order lifting the stay.
- No Distribution: Without a Proof of Claim submitted by the bar date, the creditor may not receive any distributions from the bankruptcy estate. This can be a significant loss if the estate has assets.
*. Debtor's Position:
- Eviction Risk: The debtor may face eviction or other legal actions if the stay is lifted.
- No Claim Reduction: The debtor might benefit from the creditor not filing a Proof of Claim, as the creditor will not share in the estate distributions.
*. Court's Role:
- Enforcement: The court enforces the bar date strictly. Failure to file a Proof of Claim means the creditor forfeits their right to distributions.
- Case Administration: The court continues to administer the case based on the allowed claims.
Would you like more detailed information on how this scenario might specifically impact yoursituation or guidance on any other legal matters?
next question, if creditor does not file a proof of claim before the bar date is the creditor entitled to a relief of stay?
In general, a creditor's failure to file a Proof of Claim by the bar date does not automatically disqualify them from obtaining relief from the automatic stay. The two issues are considered separately:
- Proof of Claim: Pertains to a creditor's right to receive distributions from the bankruptcy estate.
- Relief from Stay: Allows a creditor to proceed with certain actions, such as eviction or foreclosure, outside of the bankruptcy process.
The court will evaluate the motion for relief from the stay based on the specific circumstances and merits of the case.
Would you like guidance on how to respond to a motion for relief from the stay?
