Opinion 233

Case Name: 

Moxley v. Bingham (In re Moxley)

Judge: 
U.S. District Court, Utah
Date: 
Jul-16-1987
Case Number(s): 
83C-2914
Status: 

APPEAL
Unpublished

Body: 

Debtor filed a motion to reopen his no asset chapter 7 bankruptcy to add omitted creditors. The bankruptcy court denied the motion without prejudice, indicating that it would reconsider the motion after liability had been determined in creditors' state court action. Creditors had sued debtor based on his prepetition sale of insurance to them, and their claim appeared to fall within the coverage of debtor's professional malpractice insurance. The district court ruled that the bankruptcy court had not abused its discretion by denying debtor's motion, since the available facts indicated that debtor's malpractice carrier would likely cover any damages award. Denial of the motion to reopen was affirmed.
