IN RE: Lillie Mae BANKS (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

IN RE: Lillie Mae BANKS, Debtor, Law Solutions Chicago, L.L.C., doing business as UpRight Law, L.L.C., Appellant, v. United States Trustee, Appellee.

No. 18-31145

Decided: May 07, 2019

Before SMITH, WIENER, and WILLETT, Circuit Judges.

John M. Duck, Esq., Lisa Merz Hedrick, Adams & Reese, L.L.P., New Orleans, LA, for Appellant Sumi Sakata, Esq., Trial Attorney, U.S. Department of Justice, Executive Office of the U.S. Trustee, Washington, DC, Richard Harmon Drew, Trial Attorney, U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the U.S. Trustee, Shreveport, LA, for Appellee

Appellant UpRight Law, LLC, objects to the sanctions and requirements ordered by the bankruptcy court following Appellant’s appalling conduct in the debtor’s case. As amply demonstrated by the record, in what should have been a simple and straightforward bankruptcy matter, the Appellant misled and neglected the debtor for approximately two years. Considering the Appellant’s many rule violations and the egregious way that it mishandled the debtor’s case, the bankruptcy court’s well-reasoned memorandum opinion correctly disposed of this motion. For the reasons given by the bankruptcy and district courts their rulings and holdings are AFFIRMED.
