Jennifer Lyn Lacy v. eBay Inc. and Liberis US Inc. — Contempt Motion Denied

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut denied debtor Jennifer Lyn Lacy's Amended Motion for Contempt and Sanctions against eBay Inc. and Liberis US Inc., finding neither party in willful violation of the automatic stay or discharge injunction. Regarding Liberis, the Court held that the operative agreement was with CleoCasey Auctions Inc., a corporation that continued to exist post-dissolution under Connecticut law to wind up its affairs and discharge liabilities, and there was no evidence Liberis received notice of the corporation's dissolution. The Court found a "fair ground of doubt" as to whether Liberis's conduct was unlawful, precluding a contempt finding. Neither eBay nor Liberis filed responses to the motion.

Kathleen Rabon Chapter 7 Relief from Stay

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut granted a motion for in rem relief from the automatic stay filed by Elaine Malchman, Richard Russ, and Richard Rothstein, Trustee (Movants), in the Chapter 7 bankruptcy case of Kathleen A. Rabon, Case No. 25-21127. The court found that serial bankruptcy filings by the debtor and related parties Mark Rabon and Edwin St.Germain—filed solely to delay foreclosure—satisfied the requirements for relief under 11 U.S.C. § 362(d)(4), allowing Berkshire Bank to proceed with foreclosure on 34 Krug Road, Preston, CT. The decision references four sequential bankruptcy cases filed between March 2024 and October 2025, each timed to coincide with scheduled foreclosure sales.
