ORDER GRANTING COUNTERCLAIMANT MLB SUB I, LLC’S MOTION FOR ORDER
CONFIRMING FORECLOSURE SALE AND ENTRY OF FINAL JUDGMENT (ECF No.
193)
For the reasons set forth below, the Court GRANTS
Counterclaimant MLB Sub I (“MLB”), LLC’s Motion for Order
Confirming Foreclosure Sale and Entry of Final Judgment (ECF No.
193).
Specifically, the Court (1) approves the sale of the
subject property (“Subject Property”) as described in MLB’s
mortgage (dated April 16, 2004); (2) directs the Commissioner to
convey title of the Subject Property to Sunshine Holdings LLC;
(3) finds that the sale of the Subject Property to Sunshine
Holdings LLC for the sum of $652,050.00 is fair and equitable
under the circumstances; (4) authorizes the Commissioner to pay
any delinquent and accrued real property taxes with respect to

the Subject Property from the foreclosure sale proceeds; (5)
approves the Commissioner’s reasonable expenses; (6) discharges
the Commissioner upon conveyance and closing of the sale; (7)
orders the closing and recording of the sale to occur within 35
days from the date of this Order; and (8) deems the right to
seek a deficiency judgment as waived.
BACKGROUND
Rather than reciting the long and complex history of
this case, the Court focuses on those events relevant to the
Motion before it now. 1/
The Mohrs filed their initial complaint in Hawai`i
state court in 2005 seeking rescission of a note and mortgage on
their home.
See ECF No. 38-4.
On April 13, 2020, after several
years of litigation in federal court, two bankruptcies, the
dismissal of several claims against different defendants, and
appeals, this Court ultimately granted summary judgment to MLB
and issued a decree of foreclosure authorizing MLB to foreclose
on the mortgage against Plaintiffs’ interest in the Subject
Property.
See ECF No. 150 (the “Foreclosure Order”). 2/
The
The Court’s prior summary judgment orders contain more detailed
factual and procedural history. See ECF No. 94 at 2-7; ECF No. 150 at 2-10.
2/
In light of the Foreclosure Order being issued in the midst of the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Court directed the appointed commissioner to
hold off on commencing any actions to foreclose on the Subject Property until
further order of the Court. The Court subsequently authorized proceeding
with the foreclosure.

Court reserved the question of the precise amount of the secured
debt to be determined after the confirmation of sale.

Id. at
Notably, MLB did not purport to seek a deficiency judgment
to collect any debt exceeding the net foreclosure sale proceeds
of the Subject Property, and counsel for MLB confirmed as much
at the summary judgment hearing.
See Foreclosure Order at 36
n.25.
On May 7, 2020, the Mohrs filed a notice of appeal,
ECF No. 155, and one week later they filed a Motion to Stay.
In
their Motion, the Mohrs asked the Court to (1) stay the
foreclosure proceedings pending the Ninth Circuit’s decision on
the merits of the appeal and (2) allow the Subject Property to
act as collateral in lieu of a supersedeas bond.
at 5-6.
Mot. to Stay
MLB opposed the Motion to Stay and requested that the
Court require the Mohrs to—at a minimum—post a supersedeas bond
valued at two years of rental income on the property.
See Opp.,
ECF No. 163.
The Court held a hearing on the Motion to Stay on June
26, 2020.
Counsel represented that the Mohrs were dealing with
debilitating health and financial issues, which make posting a
bond impossible.
The Mohrs maintained that they continued to
face financial hardship resulting from their ongoing health
problems, as well as added health and economic difficulties
resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

On July 7, 2020, the Court issued an Order Granting
Plaintiffs’ Motion to Stay Judgment & Decree of Foreclosure
Pending Appeal (“the “Stay Order”).
ECF No. 167.
Among other
conditions, the Stay Order required the Mohrs to continue to
comply with the Foreclosure Order's requirements for preserving
the property in its current condition, and required the Mohrs
to, inter alia, maintain adequate insurance and pay property
taxes.
The Stay Order also allowed the Subject Property to
serve as security during the pendency of the appeal, without any
other bond requirements, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 62(b).
After the Ninth Circuit affirmed the Foreclosure Order
in July of 2021, ECF No. 174, 3/ counsel for MLB requested that
the Court authorize proceeding with the foreclosure as the Ninth
Circuit had filed its mandate and the Hawaii Third Circuit Court
had allowed public sale of property to proceed notwithstanding
the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
ECF No. 176.
In response, the Mohrs informed the Court that they
would be filing a petition for a writ of certiorari to the
United States Supreme Court and therefore requested the Court to
stay any further action until they received a ruling by the
The Ninth Circuit panel subsequently voted to deny the Mohrs’
petition for rehearing en banc. ECF No. 175.

The Mohrs further requested that their
mortgaged house continue to be the only required security, as
the Court permitted during the stay of the foreclosure pending
the appeal before the Ninth Circuit.
ECF No. 185.
The Court ruled that it had no jurisdiction to stay
the mandate, as the decision appealed to the Supreme Court was
not the Foreclosure Order by this Court but rather the Ninth
Circuit’s affirmance of that decision through its mandate. 5/
Id.
The Court also agreed with MLB that equitable concerns justify
allowing the foreclosure to proceed.
As a result, the Court
directed MLB to prepare a stipulation setting forth that the
parties agree that the foreclosure sale would be conducted under
conditions similar to those contained in the First Amended
Emergency Order of the Circuit Court of the Third Circuit.
Id.
After the stipulation was filed on October 1, 2021, ECF No. 188,
the foreclosure proceeded.

STANDARD
Under Hawaii law, a “court’s authority to confirm a
judicial sale is a matter of equitable discretion.”
Sugarman v.
Kapu, 104 Haw. 119, 124, 85 P.3d 644, 649 (Haw. 2004) (quoting
Brent v. Staveris, 7 Haw. App. 40, 45, 741 P.2d 722, 726 (Haw.
Ct. App. 1987) (citation omitted))).
Thus, “absent arbitrary
action, the court has broad discretion regarding confirmation of
judicial sales.”
Id. (citation omitted).
In exercising its
discretion, the “court should act in the interest of fairness
and prudence, and with a just regard to the rights of all
concerned and the stability of judicial sales.”
Brent, 7 Haw.
App. at 45, 741 P.2d at 726 (quoting Hoge v. Kane II, 4 Haw.
App. 533, 540, 670 P.2d 36, 40 (Haw. Ct. App. 1983)).
In addition, a court should generally confirm the sale
unless the price obtained shocks its conscience.
Haw. at 127, 85 P.3d at 652.
Sugarman, 104
A bid price may shock the court’s
conscience, for example, where it is grossly inadequate when
compared to the value of the property sold.

DISCUSSION
The Mohrs raised in their Opposition to MLB’s Motion
for Order Confirming Foreclosure Sale and Entry of Final
Judgment (ECF No. 198) the issue of whether MLB maintained its
existence throughout this litigation.
MLB argues that, although
it filed a certificate of cancellation with the Delaware
Secretary of State on February 22, 2021, it did not violate its
obligation to maintain its existence as a limited liability
company.
Because MLB never completed the winding up process,
its erroneous certificate of cancellation had no legal effect.
Further, by operation of Delaware law, MLB’s mistaken filing of
the certificate of cancellation was nullified by the filing of
its certificate of correction, with retroactive effect since the
Mohrs have not shown that they were substantially and adversely
affected by the correction.
I.
Applicable Delaware Law
Under Delaware law, a limited liability company is formed
at the time of the filing of an initial certificate of formation
in the office of the Secretary of State.
6 § 18-201(b).
Del. Code Ann., Title
The existence of the limited liability company
continues “until cancellation of the limited liability company’s
certificate of formation.”
Id.
“A Delaware limited liability company's dissolution may
be characterized as the beginning of the end of its legal
7
Case 1:16-cv-00493-ACK-WRP Document 204 Filed 02/28/22 Page 8 of 17
3031
existence.
PageID #:
Dissolution necessitates winding up, which commences
upon dissolution.
Winding up is the process by which the
dissolved limited liability company settles and closes its
business, disposes of and conveys its property, discharges or
provides for its liabilities, and distributes any remaining
assets to its members and other constituents.
The cancellation
of the company's certificate of formation is effected at the
completion of winding up.
This marks the end of the entity's
legal existences as a limited liability company.”
Symonds &
O'Toole, Symonds and O'Toole on Delaware Limited Liability
Companies, Section 16.01 (2009 Suppl.).
To accomplish the cancellation of a limited liability
company's certificate of formation, a certificate of
cancellation must be filed in the office of Secretary of State
upon the dissolution and the completion of winding up of the
limited liability company.
Del. Code Ann., Title 6 § 18–203(a).
A certificate of cancellation that is filed prior to the
dissolution or the completion of winding up of a limited
liability company may be corrected as an erroneously executed
certificate of cancellation by filing a certificate of
correction, pursuant to Del. Code Ann., Title 6 § 18–211, with
the Secretary of State.
Del. Code Ann., Title 6 § 18–203(b).
“The certificate of correction shall be effective as of the date
the original certificate was filed, except as to those persons

who are substantially and adversely affected by the correction,
and as to those persons the certificate of correction shall be
effective from the filing date.”
Del. Code Ann., Title 6 § 18–
211.
II.
MLB’s Filings
MLB’s Vice President-April Smith-signed a certificate of
cancellation on February 22, 2021 and filed it with the Delaware
Secretary of State.
Smith Decl. ¶ 4; see Mohr Ex. 2.
According
to Smith, she failed to recall that MLB was to remain active
until the completion of this litigation.
Smith Decl. ¶ 6.
After realizing her mistake, a second Delaware LLC was formed on
November 29, 2021 with the same name as MLB in an attempt to
address the premature cancellation.
3.
Id. ¶¶ 10, 11; see Mohr Ex.
After consulting with its attorneys, MLB then filed in
February of 2022 two certificates of correction:
(1) the first
to nullify the earlier erroneous certificate of cancellation,
and (2) the second to nullify the earlier erroneous certificate
of formation.
Smith Decl. ¶ 12.
Both certificates of
correction stated, “[d]ue to a clerical error, this filing was
submitted erroneously.”
See MLB Exs. 1 & 2.
III. Analysis
As an initial matter, the 2021 certificate of
cancellation has no effect as MLB did not complete the process
of winding up.
The Mohrs cite Beaudry v. Harding, 104 A.3d 134
9
Case 1:16-cv-00493-ACK-WRP Document 204 Filed 02/28/22 Page 10 of 17
3033
PageID #:
(ME 2014) for the proposition that an administratively dissolved
LLC cannot prosecute an action.
As explained by the Maine
statute cited in Beaudry, “[a]dministratively dissolved LLCs are
those that the Secretary of State dissolves because the LLC
fails to follow the procedures imposed by the Act, such as
paying mandatory fees and penalties or filing annual reports.”
Id. at 136.
There is no claim here that MLB was
administratively dissolved.
MLB, on the other hand, correctly
cites precedent reiterating the Delaware statute permitting a
certificate of cancellation only “upon the dissolution and
winding up of the company.”
Trusa v. Nepo, No. CV 12071-VCMR,
2017 WL 1379594, at *7 (Del. Ch. Apr. 13, 2017).
Here, as in
Trusa, MLB has not completed the prerequisite winding up process
and thus remained in existence.
See Smith Decl. ¶ 15.
Even if MLB’s erroneous certificate of cancellation had
effect, MLB’s subsequent certificate of correction would remedy
the issue as the Mohrs have not claimed that the correction in
any way affected them, let alone “substantially and adversely”
affected them.
See Del. Code Ann., Title 6 § 18–211(a);
Flatiron Acquisition Vehicle, LLC v. CSE Mort. LLC, No. 1:17-CV8987-GHW, 2019 WL 1244294, at *12 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 18, 2019) (“[A]
company may file a certificate of correction that nullifies a
previously-filed certificate of cancellation so long as the LLC
has not finished the winding up process.”).
10
Case 1:16-cv-00493-ACK-WRP Document 204 Filed 02/28/22 Page 11 of 17
3034
PageID #:
As a result of these erroneous filings and MLB’s failure
to communicate, the Mohrs also claim fraud on the court.
See
Opp. at 3 (“[W]hen asked by Plaintiff’s counsel via email to
prove that MLB existed, Mr. Daniel Kikawa advised Plaintiff’s
counsel that ‘MLB exists as a Delaware LLC’” but withheld that
MLB “was re-created as a new LLC . . . .”).
However, the Court
finds that the 2021 certificate of cancellation has no effect as
MLB had not completed the process of winding up and consequently
remained in existence; and therefore, no fraud upon the court
was committed.
In any event, the standard for fraud on the
court is extremely high.
Non-disclosure by itself generally
does not constitute fraud on the court.
Doyle, 281 F.2d 304, 310 (9th Cir. 1960).
See England v.
Similarly, perjury by
a party or witness, by itself, is not typically fraud on the
court.
In re Levander, 180 F.3d 1114, 1119 (9th Cir. 1999). 6/
MLB’s actions were certainly sloppy, but the behavior does not
rise to the level of fraud on the court.
IV.
Conclusion
In sum, because MLB never completed its winding up
process, its erroneous certificate of cancellation had no legal
The Mohrs cite Cvitanovich-Dubie v. Dubie, 125 Haw. 128, 144-46, 254
P.3d 439, 455-57 (2011) for further support on this issue. But Dubie is a
family law case, and the motion is made under Hawaii Family Court Rule
60(b)(6), rather than Hawaii Rules of Civil Procedure, as the Mohrs say. In
any event, Dubie echoes other cases in emphasizing that fraud on the court
“only applies to very unusual cases involving ‘far more than an injury to a
single litigant[,]’ but rather, a ‘corruption of the judicial process
itself.’” Id. at 144, 455 (internal citation omitted).

Further, by operation of Delaware law, MLB’s mistaken

Subject Property and the winning bid by MLB of $621,000.00 at
the November 12, 2021 auction.
6.
ECF No. 190.
At the February 24, 2022 hearing on the Motion
for Order Confirming Foreclosure Sale and Entry of Final
Judgment, bidding was reopened and Sunshine Holdings LLC was the
successful bidder with a bid of $652,050.00.
The Court finds
that the winning bid of $652,050.00 by Sunshine Holdings LLC is
a proper, fair, reasonable, and equitable bid for the Subject
Property and is the best price attainable under the
circumstances in light of the fact that, by agreement of the
parties, no open houses were conducted and considering that the
county’s real property tax assessed fair market value of the
property for 2021 is $621,000.00.
¶ 13.
See Commissioner Report at 3
Accordingly, the Court approves the sale because the
price is fair and equitable under the circumstances.
7.
The Commissioner submitted a request for
reimbursement of actual and necessary expenses incurred in the
sum of $867.02, payment of Commissioner’s reasonable fees in the
sum of $2,915.00 (approximately 0.4% of the purchase price), and
general excise tax in the amount of $137.35, altogether totaling
$3,919.37.
See Commissioner’s Report at 4 ¶ 3.
The Court finds
the same are reasonable and approves them.
8.
At the February 24, 2022 hearing, MLB waived any
right to a deficiency judgment under its mortgage, any right to

attorney’s fees and costs.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 8/
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Court
concludes as follows:
1.
The Commissioner’s Report filed on December 2,
2021 (ECF No. 190) is approved.
