Notice (2021-05-26) — In re Panthera Enterprises, LLC, Case No. 2:19-bk-00787 (Chapter 7)
What This Document Is
This is docket entry 351, a 2-page Notice of Substitution of Counsel filed May 26, 2021 by TR&L, LLC, the creditor claiming the training facility's modular buildings as SMI, LLC's successor. The docket entry text styles it a notice of appearance and request for notice by the incoming lawyer; the document itself is captioned as a substitution.
Factual Summary
TR&L, LLC, identified as "successor to SMI, LLC, creditor of the Debtor," gives notice that Kathy M. Santa Barbara and The Law Office of Kathy M. Santa Barbara, PLLC of Martinsburg, West Virginia are substituted "in the place and stead of" Steven L. Thomas, Robert L. Bandy, and Kay Casto & Chaney PLLC, and directs that all notices and pleadings thereafter be served on the new firm at the listed Martinsburg address and email accounts. The notice, dated May 26, 2021 and signed by Santa Barbara (WVSB #5960), arrives five days after the trustee's memorandum attacked TR&L's modular-buildings and timber claims, three days after service of the order continuing the contested hearings to June 22, 2021 for mediation, and during the pendency of the fraudulent-conveyance adversary proceeding (21-ap-00002) in which TR&L had counterclaimed. It is TR&L's second counsel change in the record: its April 21, 2021 objection papers had come through Kay Casto & Chaney after earlier SMI matters were handled by William J. Leon.
