BMO Harris Bank, N.A. v. Zubick (4:13-ap-00170-BMW) 06/27/14 Holding: Although Debtors initially failed to disclose various assets and sources of income in their schedules, these omissions were not the product of Debtors’ intent to delay, hinder or defraud their creditors. Additionally, Debtors did not knowingly and fraudulently make false oaths by signing and filing their schedules, which contained omissions and inaccuracies. Accordingly, the relief requested by BMO Harris Bank in its Complaint to deny Debtors’ discharge pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 727(a)(2), (3), (4) and (5) and 523(a)(2) and (6) is denied. |

Warfield v. Santander Consumer (2:14-ap-00173-DPC) 06/02/14 Holding: Defendant’s date of perfection of a lien relates back to December 14, 2013. Therefore, Plaintiff/Trustee’s rights and powers under 11 U.S.C. § 544(a), which arose on the Petition Date of December 18, 2013, are inferior to Defendant’s lien rights. See § 546(b) and A.R.S. § 47-9322(A)(1). Defendant’s motion to dismiss is granted. |

Cline (2:13-bk-19488-DPC) 05/30/14 Holding: Missouri’s exemptions are not restricted to residents of Missouri so long as Debtors are domiciled in Missouri for purposes of Section 522(b)(3)(A). Because Missouri has opted-out of the federal exemption scheme, Debtors must use the exemptions provided under Missouri law. |
