In re Escobar

Judge: 
Judge Clark
Date: 
Jun-24-1983
Case Number(s): 
80C-2417
Status: 

UNPUBLISHED

Body: 

Creditors had a claim against chapter 11 debtors that arose from liens that had been attached to their residence. Numerous hearings were held and numerous orders entered, which set the amount of creditors' claim and credited debtors for liens they were able to have released from creditors' property. However, creditors had also incurred expenses in defending some of the lien claims. The court denied debtors' motion to deem creditors' judgment satisfied finding that, since the court's last order, debtors had only paid the attorney's fees they were ordered to pay and provided one release of a $2,050 lien, which was significantly less than the $7,103.51 plus interest the court had determined was owed to creditors. The court further rejected debtors' assertion that they could now show that they were not responsible for some of the liens on creditors' home, noting that debtors had shown substantial disregard for the court's orders and had been given numerous opportunities to make such a showing, and had failed to do so.
