Opinion 240

Case Name: 

In re Larson

Judge: 
U.S. District Court, Utah
Date: 
Sep-25-1987
Case Number(s): 
87C-0042
Status: 

APPEAL
Unpublished

Body: 

Debtor, an individual guarantor of the debts of his failed corporation, filed a chapter 11 petition on the day of a scheduled foreclosure sale of his home, which creditor moved to dismiss. Debtor moved to disqualify the assigned bankruptcy judge and, at the hearing on that motion, moved to disqualify the bankruptcy judge hearing the motion as well. Debtor's disqualification motions were denied and, at a later hearing, creditor's motion to dismiss was granted. On appeal, the district court held that the bankruptcy court had not abused its discretion, either in the handling of debtor's motions to recuse, or by granting the motion to dismiss.
