  2. In re Haugen

    998 F.2d 1442 (8th Cir. 1993)   Cited 9 times
    Employing a similar definition

    The district court affirmed that decision by order filed October 18, 1990. See Haugen v. Butler Mach., Inc., 120 B.R. 124 (Bankr.D.N.D. 1990) (Jt.App. at 45). Haugen then filed a complaint in Ward County District Court, raising the same claims raised in his adversary action.

    Case No. 18-12147 (E.D. Mich. Feb. 26, 2019)

    See e.g., Deitz v. Spangenberg, 2013 WL 883464, at *5 (Mar. 8, 2013); In re Jumuna Real Estate, LLC, 357 B.R. 324, 332 (E.D. Pa. 2006); In re Windsor Comm. Grp., Inc., 79 B.R. 210, 211 (E.D.

  4. Perry v. Florida Trucking Co.

    Case No. 8:09-CV-2328-T-27EAJ (M.D. Fla. Jan. 21, 2010)   Cited 2 times
    In Perry v. Florida Trucking Co., 2010 U.S. Dist. Lexis 9629 (M.D. Fla. Jan 21, 2010), Judge Whittemore remanded a personal injury suit against Chapter 11 debtors.

    Where, as here, a claim sounds in state law and bears a limited connection to a debtor's bankruptcy case, abstention is "particularly compelling." Southerland v. Smith, 142 B.R. 980, 982 (M.D.Fla., 1992), citing In re Haugen, 120 B.R. 124, 127 (D.N.D. 1990). Plaintiffs' personal injury claims involve entirely state law issues.

  5. Southerland v. Smith

    142 B.R. 980 (M.D. Fla. 1992)   Cited 5 times

    August 14, 1991 Bankruptcy Court Order. Where a court proceeding sounds in state law and bears a limited connection to a debtor's bankruptcy case, abstention is particularly compelling. In re Haugen, 120 B.R. 124, 127 (D.N.D.1990).          The Bankruptcy Court also based its decision to abstain on the principles of venue and forum non conveniens.

  6. Krasny v. Bagga

    357 B.R. 324 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 2006)   Cited 15 times
    Finding that a conversion claim could not be considered core simply because it was similar to a fraudulent transfer claim

    Indeed, the weight of authority is in Defendants' favor. See In re Windsor Comm. Grp., Inc., 79 B.R. 210, 211 (E.D.Pa. 1987) (referencing remanded opinion wherein conversion claim deemed non-core); In re Naturally Beautiful Nails, Inc., 252 B.R. 574, 576 (M.D.Fla. 2000) (same); In re Haugen, 120 B.R. 124, 126 (D.N.D. 1991) (same); In re CIS, Inc., 172 B.R. 748, 758 (S.D.N.Y. 1994) ("Claims asserting the unlawful conversion of property unquestionably arise under state law and are considered non-core proceedings."); Meadowlands Comm. v. Banker's Trust Co., 79 B.R. 198, 200 (D.N.J. 1987) (conversion action brought by debtor was non-core); In re Reda, Inc., 60 B.R. 178, 181 (Bankr.N.D.Ill. 1986) (same); see also Van Dorn Retail Mgmt., Inc. v. Sovran Bank/DC National, 1991 WL 222061 *4 n. 2 (D.D.C.) (noting in dictum that conversion claims are generally recognized as non-core). Accordingly, the Court finds that the conversion claim is non-core.

  7. In re Furrs Supermarkets, Inc.

    No. 11-01-10779 SA, Adv. No. 03-1149, 03-1150, 03-1151, 03-1152, 03-1153, 03-1154 (Bankr. D.N.M. Oct. 15, 2004)

    The real parties in interest are non-debtors. National, Southern and NMBC cite a number of cases which they say support abstention in this case: Earle Indus., Inc. v. Circuit Eng'g, Inc. (In re Earle Indus., Inc.), 72 B.R. 131 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 1987), Gober v. Terra + Corp. (In re Gober), 100 F.3d 1195 (5th Cir. 1996), Haugen v. Butler Machinery, Inc. (In re Haugen), 120 B.R. 124 (D.N.D. 1990), Richmond Tank Car Co. v. CTC Investments (In re Richmond Tank Car Co.), 119 B.R. 124 (S.D. Tex. 1989), In re Oliver's Stores, Inc., 107 B.R. 40 (D.N.J. 1989) and First Nat'l Bank of Westminster v. Rarick (In re Rarick), 132 B.R. 47 (D. Colo. 1991). They also urge Burford abstention.

  8. In re West Coast Video Enterprises, Inc.

    145 B.R. 484 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 1992)   Cited 20 times

    See, e.g., In re Haugen, 120 B.R. 124, 127 (D.N.D. 1990); In re Marine Iron Shipbuilding Co., 104 B.R. 976, 988 (D.Minn. 1989); and Shaford Cos., supra, 52 B.R. at 837. It is certainly true that the principle of centering litigation in the bankruptcy court is lost if the proceeding must be tried in some other forum, be it the district court or the state courts.
