Scott v. BNY Mellon Trust - WDPA Denies Rule 60(b) Motions

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania denied the Emergency Motion to Continue and the Motion to Vacate Order entered February 25, 2026 under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(1) and 60(b)(6) filed by debtor Michael David Scott. The Court found both motions without merit. The Court had previously denied Scott's Motion to Reopen the Chapter 7 case, concluding that a post-discharge foreclosure proceeding constitutes enforcement of a mortgage lien in rem and does not violate the discharge injunction under 11 U.S.C. § 524(a). The respondents include The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (as servicer), Korde & Associates PC, and Zoh Nizami.

Law Enforcement Officers Union v. United Federation LEOS-PBA - Stay Pending Appeal Denied

The US Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania denied a Motion for Stay Pending Appeal filed by United Federation LEOS-PBA and multiple affiliated union entities, refusing to halt the Court's prior order approving the Chapter 7 Trustee's sale of estate causes of action to International Union, Security, Police and Fire Professionals of America (SPFPA). The Court found the movants failed to satisfy the standards governing a stay pending appeal under Bankruptcy Rule 8007 and lacked standing to challenge the sale. SPFPA holds a proof of claim of $2,296,688.20, and the record reflects at least $1.8 million in potentially avoidable transfers.
