| 08/21/2026 | 162 | BNC Certificate of Mailing - Order Dismissing Case. (RE: related document(s)160 Order on Motion to Dismiss Case). Notice Date 08/21/2026. (Admin.) (Entered: 08/21/2026) |
| 08/20/2026 | 161 | Order Mooting Objection to Claim of 3G Development, LLC - Court Claim #12-1 (Related Doc # 82). The objection to claim is moot. Case dismissed 8/19/2026. Trial canceled. ORDERED by Judge Brian S. Kruse. (Text Only Order) (dkk) (Entered: 08/20/2026) |
| 08/19/2026 | 160 | Order Granting Motion to Dismiss Case (Related Doc # 119). Hearing held 8/17/2026. Patrick Turner appeared for the debtors. Amy Blackburn appeared for the U.S. Trustee. Lauren Goodman appeared as Subchapter V trustee. Trev Peterson appeared for 3G Development, LLC. Elijah Poferl appeared for Lincoln Federal Savings Bank. The court received in BK26-40121, Doc. #1, 67-69, 79-81, 89-91, 110-12, 132-34, 145-46, and in BK26-40123, Doc. #1 and 45. The U.S. Trustees motion to dismiss for cause (Doc. #119) is granted. The debtor did not maintain the insurance required by 11 U.S.C. 1112(b)(4)(C) and did not provide the trustee information reasonably requested under 1112(b)(4)(H). In addition, the debtors transferred assets between their estates without explaining the reasons to the trustee or the court, which bear on the debtors fitness to remain in possession. Under the evidence presented, the trustee established a prima facie case of cause. The trustees evidence was not rebutted and the debtor presented no evidence to explain or excuse any deficiencies. Under 11 U.S.C. 1112(b)(1), dismissal or conversion is mandatory. Most of the debtors assets are subject to secured claims, which makes dismissal rather than conversion in the best interest of the estates. ORDERED by Judge Brian S. Kruse.
