Memorandum Decision

Judge James M. Marlar (recalled)
12/28/12 Timothy Ray Wright (2:09-bk-32244-SSC) 12/28/12

Holding: The parties seek a determination on the existence of a deficiency claim. It is the Court’s belief that resolution of “all claims” in the settlement of the Adversary Proceeding encompassed said deficiency claim. This settlement between the Debtor and MidFirst resulted in a final agreed order that required the dismissal of the Adversary Proceeding with prejudice. MidFirst’s attempt to resurrect this claim, without a specific reservation in the final order dismissing the Adversary Proceeding, months after the settlement, and more than a year after the sale of the Properties, is without a legal basis.

Under Advisement Decision Re: Attorney Fees

Judge Charles G. Case II (retired)
12/27/12 Namwest, LLC et al v. Namwest-Town Lakes, LLC et al (2:08-ap-00860-CGC) 12/27/12

Holding: Although the Court has the discretion to grant attorneys’ fees because the claims arose out of contract, the Court denies the Namwest Parties’ applications for attorneys’ fees. The Kohan Parties’ factually complex claims had merit. The $640,000 fees requested would create an extreme hardship that would discourage others who believe they have oral contracts from bringing tenable claims. Furthermore, the fees requested are unreasonable, and the Court cannot determine if they are directly tied to the claims.

Judge Charles G. Case II (retired)
