03/16/2026	58	SCHEDULING ORDER REGARDING OBJECTIONS TO CLAIMS BY PEARL ALPHA FUNDING, LLC D/B/A EVERLASTING CAPITAL, LLC: The Chapter 7 Trustee, Barbara H. Katz, objected to several proofs of claim filed by creditor Pearl Alpha Funding, LLC d/b/a Everlasting Capital, LLC ('Pearl') in the various cases jointly administered under Case No. 18-31722. Case No. 18-31722, ECF Nos. 2332, 2335; Case No. 18-31723, ECF Nos. 50, 51; Case No. 18-31724, ECF No. 54 (collectively the 'Claim Objections'). Pursuant to Fed.R.Bankr.P. 3007(a)(2) the Trustee served the Claim Objections to the address specified in Pearl's various proofs of claim. However, after filing its proofs of claim, Pearl filed a notice requesting service at an alternative address. Case No. 18-31722, ECF No. 954 (the 'Notice'). Pursuant to the Court's Contested Matter Procedure, if certain motions are properly served and not objected to, the Court may grant relief without a hearing. See Local Bankr.R. 9014-1. Although the Trustee has complied with the service requirements of Fed.R.Bankr.P. 9014, 7004, and 3007, the Claim Objections were not served at the Notice address. Although perhaps Pearl should have amended its proofs of claim, it appears Pearl sought, via the Notice, to alert the Debtors and other parties in interest of a new service address. In the interests of justice, and to ensure Pearl receives adequate due process, even though the Trustee may not be required to serve Pearl at the Notice address pursuant to applicable bankruptcy rules, the Court will require service at the Notice address before ruling on the Claim Objections. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED: On or before March 20, 2026, the Chapter 7 Trustee must file an amended certificate of service indicating service on Pearl at the address specified in the Notice. No action will be taken on the Claim Objections until the new objection deadline, based upon the date service is made at the address specified in the Notice and pursuant to Local Bankr.R. 9014-1, elapses.
