SHELLEY D. KROHN, CHAPTER 7
TRUSTEE,

Appellee.
Case No.: 2:14-cv-00186-GMN
ORDER
11
under 28 U.S.C. § 158(c)(1) of an order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District
12
of Nevada (“the Bankruptcy Court”), granting a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment filed by
13
Appellee Shelley D. Krohn (“Trustee”). Debtor asks the Court to reverse the Bankruptcy
14
Court’s Order and Partial Judgment. For the reasons explained below, the Bankruptcy Court’s
15
Order and Judgment is affirmed.
16
I.
BACKGROUND
17
Debtor was a contractor who, through various corporations and limited liability
18
companies, developed several large real estate projects in the Las Vegas area, including a $2
19
billion 126-acre mixed use development known as the City Crossing Project. (Decl. of Debtor ¶
20
3, ER 741–51, ECF No. 7-7). In late 2008 and early 2009, however, Debtor’s ability to obtain
21
financing for the City Crossing Project dissipated and the project stalled, ultimately resulting in
22
the various entities involved in the City Crossing Project filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy. (Id.).
23
Following this bankruptcy, the holders of approximately $100 million of the unsatisfied debt
24
from the City Crossing Project sought collection of the debt from Debtor individually. (Id.).
25
This collection effort precipitated the filing of the present Chapter 7 bankruptcy on April 23,
Page 1 of 12
1
2012. (Id.; Bky. Filing, Bky. Dckt. No. 1).
2
On February 23, 2009, just over three years prior to the Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing,
3
Debtor had formed 5550 Las Vegas LLC (“5550 LV”) by filing Articles of Organization with
4
the Nevada Secretary of State. (Decl. of Trustee ¶ 32, AER 112–128, ECF No. 8-2; 5550 Las
5
Vegas Operating Agreement, AER 383–94, ECF No. 8-5). Under the Articles of Organization,
6
Debtor was the sole member and officer of 5550 LV. (Decl. of Trustee ¶ 32, AER 112–128,
7
ECF No. 8-2). On the same day 5550 LV was created, Debtor also opened a bank account in
8
the name of 5550 LV at Service First Bank of Nevada with Debtor as the sole signatory for the
9
account. (Id. ¶ 33). Seventeen months later on July 12, 2010, Debtor transferred his
10
membership interest in 5550 LV to Michael Halverson. (Id. ¶ 34). However, even after the
11
transfer, Debtor remained the sole signatory for the 5550 LV account, and from the time the
12
5550 LV account was open until Debtor filed bankruptcy on April 23, 2012, Debtor used the
13
5550 LV account to pay his personal expenses, including rent, utilities, and insurance. (Id. ¶¶
14
34–35).
On May 7, 2012, Debtor—through his then counsel Jon Field1—filed the Debtor’s
15
16
Schedules of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Financial Affairs. (Schedules and
17
Statements, Bky. Dckt. No. 15-31). At the same time, Debtor also filed a Declaration
18
Concerning the Debtor’s Schedules, stating under penalty of perjury that the information
19
contained in the Schedules and Statements was accurate. (Decl. Concerning Schedules, Bky.
20
Dckt. No. 31). However, in his Schedule B, Debtor only lists his personal assets as: a checking
21
account ($988.71), a personal safe and computer ($250.00), assorted clothing ($250.00), a
22
wedding ring and watch ($1,000.00), a 9mm Glock Pistol ($250.00), and an eighteen foot
23
trailer ($2,000.00). (Schedule B, Bky. Dckt. No. 17). Debtor’s Schedule B does not identity
24
25
1
According to Debtor, Jon Field was the former in-house counsel for one of his companies with limited
experience with bankruptcy law. (Decl. of Debtor ¶ 4, ER 741–51, ECF No. 7-7).
Page 2 of 12
1
any interest held by Debtor in the 5550 LV account. (Decl. of Trustee ¶ 41, AER 112–128, ECF
2
No. 8-2). Furthermore, Debtor’s original Statement of Financial Affairs, which requires
3
disclosure of information concerning “all businesses” in which Debtor was an officer, director,
4
partner, or managing executive within six years immediately proceeding the commencement of
5
bankruptcy, does not identify Debtor’s prior membership interest in 5550 LV. (Id. ¶ 43;
6
Statement of Financial Affairs, Bky. Dckt. No. 27).
7
On May 9, 2012, Debtor filed a Revised Statement of Financial Affairs that also fails to
8
identify Debtor’s prior membership interest in 5550 LV. (Id. ¶ 44; Rev. Statement of Financial
9
Affairs, Bky. Dckt. No. 32). Thirteen days later on May 22, 2012, Mitchell Stipp, the former
10
Chief Operating Officer for one of Debtor’s companies and an agent for Debtor sent an email to
11
proposed counsel2 for Debtor that reads as follows:
I [Stipp] have discussed the matter with [Debtor], and he does not want you to
provide any information to the bankruptcy trustee regarding the account in the
name of 5550 Las Vegas, LLC. At this point, you should not be providing any
information or answering any questions other than what I authorize you to
provide/answer about this account. This account does not belong to [Debtor]
personally (although he is the only signatory on the account), and he is still
working with Mr. Halverson on obtaining his consent to disclose the statements
to the bankruptcy trustee. As I [Stipp] understand it, there are transactions
involving Mr. Halverson that Mr. Halverson (personally) may not want disclosed.
12

16
17
Attached are the bank statements for 5550 Las Vegas, LLC. These statements are
for the 12 months prior to [Debtor’s] bankruptcy petition. YOU DO NOT HAVE
AUTHORITY TO RELEASE THESE TO THE BANKRUPTCY TRUSTEE. I
am providing them to you for your review ONLY and subject to [Debtor’s]
consent (which he may not provide) to release them to the bankruptcy trustee.
18
19
20
21
The account was opened on approximately 2.27.09. [Debtor] has been the only
signatory on the account since its opening.
22
23
24
25
2
The Debtor agreed to waive the attorney-client privilege regarding this email in a letter dated April 8, 2013.
(Waiver, AER 399, ECF No. 8-5).

1
(Stipp Email, AER 400, ECF No. 8-5; Decl. of Trustee ¶ 45, AER 112–128, ECF No. 8-2).
2
Debtor subsequently amended his Statement of Financial Affairs on November 21, 2012 and
3
again failed to identify his prior membership interest in 5550 LV. (Decl. of Trustee ¶ 46, AER
4
112–128, ECF No. 8-2; Second Am. Statement of Financial Affairs, Bky. Dckt. No. 235).
5
Finally, on December 20, 2012, Debtor again amended his Statement of Financial Affairs and
6
for the first time listed his prior membership interest in 5550 LV. (Decl. of Trustee ¶ 47, AER
7
112–128, ECF No. 8-2; Third Am. Statement of Financial Affairs, Bky. Dckt. No. 291).
8
On September 9, 2012, the Trustee commenced an adversary proceeding seeking to deny
9
the Debtor a discharge in bankruptcy. (Decl. of Trustee ¶ 55, AER 112–128, ECF No. 8-2). On
10
July 19, 2013, Trustee filed a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment in the adversary
11
proceeding seeking to deny Debtor a discharge pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 727(a)(4)(A) based,
12
inter alia, upon Debtor’s failure to identify his interest in 5550 LV. (PMSJ, AER 59–93, ECF
13
No. 8-1). On October 22, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court granted the motion based upon Debtor’s
14
failure to identify his interest in 5550 LV. (Bky. Order, Ex. 1 to Notice of Appeal 3–8, ECF No.
15
1).
16
Debtor appealed the Bankruptcy Court’s Order to this Court on February 3, 2014,
17
(Notice of Appeal, ECF No. 1), and subsequently filed his Opening Brief (ECF No. 7). Trustee
18
filed her Answering Brief (ECF No. 8) and Debtor filed a Reply Brief (ECF No. 13). Debtor
19
later filed a Supplement (ECF No. 14).

STANDARD OF REVIEW
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 158(a) and (b), federal district courts and bankruptcy appellate
22
panels, where applicable, have jurisdiction to hear appeals from final judgments of bankruptcy
23
judges. “On an appeal the district court or bankruptcy appellate panel may affirm, modify, or
24
reverse a bankruptcy judge’s judgment, order, or decree or remand with instructions for further
25
proceedings.” Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8013. “Findings of fact, whether based on oral or documentary
Page 4 of 12
1
evidence, shall not be set aside unless clearly erroneous, and due regard shall be given to the
2
opportunity of the bankruptcy court to judge the credibility of the witnesses.” Id.
3
However, an order granting a motion for summary judgment is reviewed de novo. In re
4
Raintree Healthcare Corp., 431 F.3d 685, 686 (9th Cir. 2005); see also In re Kaypro, 218 F.3d
5
1070, 1073 (9th Cir. 2000) (“The rulings on the parties’ motions for partial summary judgment
6
are reviewed de novo.”). “Summary judgment is to be granted if the pleadings and supporting
7
documents, viewed in the light most favorable to the non-moving party, show that there is no
8
genuine issue as to a material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of
9
law.” Id. (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c)). The reviewing court must determine whether any
10
genuine issue of material fact exists, and whether the district court correctly applied the
11
relevant substantive law. Tzung v. State Farm Fire & Casualty Co., 873 F.2d 1338, 1339–40
12
(9th Cir. 1989).

14
DISCUSSION
In his opening brief, Debtor presents six issues on appeal, which are properly
15
compressed into one issue: did the Bankruptcy Court err in finding as a matter of law that
16
Debtor knowingly and fraudulently made a false oath or account by failing to disclose his
17
interest in 5550 LV on either his Schedule B or his Statement of Financial Affairs. For the
18
reasons discussed below, the Court finds that the Bankruptcy Court did not err in its ruling.
19
11 U.S.C. § 727(a)(4)(A) provides: “[t]he court shall grant the debtor a discharge, unless
20
. . . the debtor knowingly and fraudulently, in or in connection with the case . . . made a false
21
oath or account . . . .” In order to deny a debtor a discharge under section 727(a)(4)(A) based
22
upon a false statement or omission, the plaintiff must prove that “(1) Debtor made such a false
23
statement or omission, (2) regarding a material fact, and (3) did so knowingly and
24
fraudulently.” In re Khalil, 379 B.R. 163, 172 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 2007) aff’d, 578 F.3d 1167 (9th
25
Cir. 2009).
Page 5 of 12
1
Debtor does not dispute that his failure to identify his interest in 5550 LV was a false
2
omission or that it was material. Instead, his appeal rests entirely upon the argument that there
3
is at least a genuine issue of material fact that he did not knowingly and fraudulently make this
4
omission. (Opening Brief 10:16–19:8, ECF No. 7). In support of this argument, Debtor cites
5
numerous courts that have noted the high barrier for finding on summary judgment that a
6
debtor “knowingly and fraudulently” omitted a material fact because, in ruling on summary
7
judgment, the court must resolve factual issues such as intent with all reasonable inferences
8
drawn in favor of the nonmoving party. See, e.g., In re Stephens, 51 B.R. 591, 594 (9th Cir.
9
BAP 1985) (“Summary judgment is not to be granted lightly and is not a substitute for the trial
10
of disputed issues of fact. Fraud claims, in particular, normally are so attended by factual
11
issues (including those related to intent) that summary judgment is seldom possible.”) (internal
12
citations omitted); In re Swegan, 383 B.R. 646 (6th Cir. BAP 2008) (reversing a bankruptcy
13
court’s granting of summary judgment for false oath because the debtor’s explanation, in a
14
“self-serving affidavit,” that he was “confused” at his examination, although “difficult to
15
believe,” created a genuine issue with regard to his intent); see also Provenz, v. Miller, 102
16
F.3d 1478, 1489 (9th Cir. 1996) (“Cases where intent is a primary issue generally are
17
inappropriate for summary judgment unless all reasonable inferences that could be drawn from
18
the evidence defeat the plaintiff’s claim.”). Debtor then provides several explanations for his
19
omissions that he contends creates a genuine issue of fact concerning whether he knowingly
20
and fraudulently or merely negligently omitted his interest in 5550 LV from his disclosures.
21
(Opening Brief 9:3–10:14, ECF No. 7).
22
Debtor is correct that summary judgment is often inappropriate for claims requiring
23
knowledge or fraudulent intent. See Stephens, 51 B.R. at 594. However, “[a] denial of
24
knowledge may be so utterly implausible in light of conceded or irrefutable evidence that no
25
rational person could believe it; and if so, there is no occasion to submit the issue of knowledge
Page 6 of 12
1
to determination at a trial.” In re Chavin, 150 F.3d 726, 728 (7th Cir. 1998); see also In re
2
Eigsti, 323 B.R. 778, 785 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. 2005) (“Summary judgment is appropriate in cases
3
in which fraudulent intent is proven by a pattern of concealment or reckless indifference to the
4
truth.”). Furthermore, “[f]raudulent intent may be determined by circumstantial evidence.” In
5
re Aubrey, 111 B.R. 268, 274 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 1990) (affirming summary judgment for creditor
6
on § 727(a)(4)(A) claim where the creditor has “presented evidence casting serious doubt on
7
the existence of the scheduled [fictitious] debt . . . and [the debtor] has not responded with any
8
credible evidence to substantiate the debt.”).
9
Here, the circumstantial evidence overwhelmingly supports a finding that Debtor
10
knowingly and fraudulently failed to list his interest in 5550 LV and all of Debtor’s proffered
11
reasons for his omission are either illogical or utterly implausible. Trustee has presented
12
irrefutable evidence showing that Debtor failed to disclose his control of the 5550 LV bank
13
account or prior membership interest in 5550 LV for approximately eight months from his
14
filing date despite making several amendments to his disclosures during that time. (Schedule B,
15
Bky. Dckt. No. 17; Schedules and Statements, Bky. Dckt. No. 15-31). Furthermore, during the
16
eight month interim before Debtor disclosed his interest in 5550 LV, a former COO of one of
17
Debtor’s companies—whom Debtor does not dispute was his agent—sent an email to proposed
18
counsel for Debtor telling him about the interest in 5550 LV and instructing him in no uncertain
19
terms that Debtor “does not want [proposed counsel] to provide any information to the
20
bankruptcy trustee regarding the account in the name of 5550 Las Vegas LLC.” (Stipp Email,
21
AER 400, ECF No. 8-5). Moreover, several months after the date of this email, Debtor again
22
amended his Statement of Financial Affairs and did not disclose his interest in 5550 LV.
23
(Second Am. Statement of Financial Affairs, Bky. Dckt. No. 235). This evidence clearly shows
24
an intent on the part of Debtor to hide the existence of a bank account over which he alone had
25
personal control and which he used up to the filing date to pay his own personal expenses by
Page 7 of 12
1
consciously failing to disclose the existence of this account or his prior interest in the company
2
whose name was on the account. See Friedman v. Alfonso (In re Alfonso), 94 B.R. 777, 778
3
(Bankr. S.D. FL. 1988). (“[A] debtor’s failure to promptly amend the schedules is considered a
4
reckless indifference to the trust which is the equivalent of fraud.”); see also Aubrey, 111 B.R.
5
at 273 (“It is clearly unsatisfactory to grant the debtor a discharge in a case such as this, where
6
the debtor ‘stonewalls’ the creditor and refuses to credibly explain to the court his puzzling or
7
suspect transactions.”) (quoting First Federated Life Insurance Co. v. Martin (In re Martin),
8
698 F.2d 883, 888 (7th Cir. 1983)).
9
Regarding his failure to disclose his interest in 5550 LV on his Schedule B, Debtor
10
contends that he did not believe he needed to disclose this interest because: (1) he had already
11
sold his membership interest, (2) a search of business entities on the Secretary of State’s
12
website under the name William Plise does not result in any reference to 5550 LV, and (3)
13
5550 LV “never had a material value and its account was used to transfer funds and cash
14
checks.” (Opening Brief 9:3–9:22, ECF No. 7). All of these explanations, however, are
15
completely illogical and do not show a plausible reason for Debtor’s failure to disclose his
16
control over the 5550 LV bank account. First, the Schedule B requires disclosure of personal
17
property, including “property [that] is being held for the debtor by someone else . . . .”
18
(Schedule B, Bky. Dckt. No. 17). The fact that Debtor transferred his membership in 5550 LV
19
does not have any bearing on whether an account in the name of 5550 LV over which Debtor
20
maintained exclusive control and from which he freely paid his own personal expenses was his
21
personal property. See BLACK’S LAW DICTIONARY 1335 (9th ed. 2009) (defining “property” as:
22
“1. The right to possess, use, and enjoy a determinate thing”). Furthermore, while an inference
23
in favor of Debtor could be drawn concerning his confusion over whether to treat the account
24
as property of 5550 LV rather than his own, this inference is contradicted by Debtor’s third
25
explanation that 5550 LV held no value because the company existed solely for the purpose of
Page 8 of 12
1
holding an account from which Debtor could pay his personal expenses. Moreover, as will
2
discussed more in the next paragraph, Debtor’s treatment of this account as part of the business
3
of 5550 LV also contradicts his explanation for failing to disclose his membership in 5550 LV
4
on the Statement of Financial Affairs because the company did not “conduct any business.”
5
Debtor cannot have it both ways by treating 5550 LV and its account as a business he
6
previously held an ownership interest in but not as personal property for his Schedule B but as a
7
personal piggy bank and not an actual business on his Statement of Financial Affairs.
8
Additionally, the fact that a website search of Debtor’s name does not bring up 5550 LV does
9
not in any way create an inference that Debtor might reasonably believe he does not need to
10
disclose his property held in the 5550 LV account.3 Finally, it is utterly implausible that Debtor
11
believed that because 5550 LV existed solely for the purpose of Debtor’s personal use of its
12
account that he did not need to include the account as a personal asset on his Schedule B. This
13
assertion strengthens rather than undermines the fact that Debtor knew the account should be
14
disclosed on the Schedule B.
15
Regarding his failure to disclose his interest in 5550 LV on his initial Statements of
16
Financial Affairs, Debtor contends that he did not believe he needed to disclose this interest
17
because: (1) his membership in 5550 LV had been sold almost two years before his bankruptcy,
18
(2) 5550 LV never “conducted any business,” (3) a search of business entities on the Secretary
19
of State’s website under the name William Plise does not result in any reference to 5550 LV,
20
and (4) he was relying on the advice of his former counsel Jon Field for the proper preparation
21
of the statement. (Opening Brief 9:24–10:14, ECF No. 7). First, the fact that Debtor sold an
22
interest in a company two years before filing bankruptcy in no way explains why he would not
23
24
25
If any inference can be drawn at all from the fact that Debtor’s interest in 5550 LV does not come up in a
search of the Secretary of State’s website, it is that Debtor believed he could get away with hiding his interest in
the company and the existence of its account.
3
Page 9 of 12
1
need to disclose that interest in a form requiring disclosure of all interests in businesses held
2
within the six years preceding the filing.4 Likewise, the fact that a prior interest in a business
3
does not come up in a search of current business interests does not create any plausible basis for
4
deciding that the prior interest does not need to be disclosed. Furthermore, it strains credulity
5
that Debtor legitimately believed he did not need to disclose his prior interest as the sole
6
member and officer of 5550 LV because that company did not “conduct[] any business” when
7
the Statement of Financial Affairs requires disclosure of information concerning “all businesses
8
in which debtor was an officer, director, partner, or managing executive of a corporation [or]
9
partner in a partnership . . . .” (Statement of Financial Affairs, Bky. Dckt. No. 27); see In re
10
King, 272 B.R. 281, 300 (Bankr. N.D. Okla. 2002) (“[A] debtor may not escape a §
11
727(a)(4)(A) charge by asserting that the omitted information concerned a worthless business
12
relationship or holding.”). Moreover, even if this explanation was plausible on its face,
13
Debtor’s failure to list 5550 LV’s bank account as a personal asset on his Schedule B because it
14
was held by 5550 LV implicitly contradicts this assertion. Again, it is utterly implausible that
15
in filling out the Schedule B Debtor honestly thought of the 5550 LV account as a business
16
account owned by 5550 LV yet when filling out his Statement of Financial Affairs he thought
17
of 5550 LV as merely an empty vehicle through which he operated a personal account.
Turning to Debtor’s final explanation, “[g]enerally, a debtor acting in reliance on the
18
19
advice of counsel lacks the intent required to be denied a discharge. Any such reliance must be
20
in good faith, however.” In re Jackson, 141 B.R. 702, 706 (Bankr. D. Ariz. 1992) (citing First
21
Beverly Bank v. Adeeb (In re Adeeb), 787 F.2d 1339, 1343 (9th Cir. 1986)). It is plausible that
22
in relying on incorrect advice of his inexperienced legal counsel Debtor did not knowingly and
23
24
25
4
To the extent Debtor is trying to implicitly argue that he merely forgot about his interest in 5550 LV because he
gave it up two years ago, this argument is utterly implausible in light of his continued use of the 5550 LV bank
account right up until the filing date and Stipp’s email sent during the bankruptcy instructing proposed counsel
on behalf of Debtor not to disclose Debtor’s interest in 5550 LV.
Page 10 of 12
1
fraudulently omit his interest in 5550 LV on his initial Statement of Financial Affairs. What is
2
implausible, however, is that the omission was the result of poor legal advice from Jon Field,
3
yet Debtor failed to amend his Statement of Financial Affairs to include 5550 LV until
4
December 20, 2012, four months after Field withdrew as his counsel on August 6, 2012, (Order
5
on Mot. to Withdraw, Bky. Dckt. No. 71), and two months after the appearance of Debtor’s
6
current counsel on October 26, 2012. (Schwartzer Notice of Appearance, Bky. Dckt. No. 197).
7
Blaming this delay in amending the Statement of Financial Affairs on Field is made all the
8
more implausible by the facts that Debtor amended his Statement of Financial Affairs following
9
the termination of Field’s representation on November 21, 2012 but continued to omit his
10
interest in 5550 LV (Second Am. Statement of Financial Affairs, Bky. Dckt. No. 235), and that
11
Debtor was specifically pointing out his interest in 5550 LV to proposed counsel he was
12
seeking to hire to replace Field while instructing said counsel not to disclose the interest. (Stipp
13
Email, AER 400, ECF No. 8-5). “[A] debtor’s failure to promptly amend the schedules is
14
considered a reckless indifference to the trust which is the equivalent of fraud.” Friedman, 94
15
B.R. 777, 778 (Bankr. S.D. FL. 1988); see also In re Totten, No. 12-00332, 2014 WL 690616,

17
court upon learning of their inaccuracy or incompleteness.”) (citing In re Mohring, 142 B.R.

(9th Cir. 1994)). While it may be plausible that Debtor’s initial failure to disclose his prior
20
interest in 5550 LV was the result of his former counsel’s ineptitude, it is utterly implausible
21
that his long delay in amending his Statement of Financial Affairs was anything but a knowing
22
and fraudulent omission.
23
Accordingly, all of Debtor’s proffered reasons why he did not knowingly and
24
fraudulently fail to disclose his interest in 5550 LV are utterly implausible. Therefore, in light
25
of the irrefutable evidence that Debtor intentionally withheld his interest in 5550 LV from the

Trustee, no rational person could believe that Debtor did not act with the requisite intent, and it

was not error for the Bankruptcy Court to grant Trustee summary judgment on the §

727(a)(4)(A) claim.
