for the last time, NO mortgage modification in bankrupcty!

On March 30 Congress made it official. H.R. 200, the “Helping Families Save Their Homes in Bankruptcy” Act of 2009 was put down once and for all by a narrow margin in the Senate.
Pity. It turns out the Act would have gone a long way towards leveling a very uneven playing field. You can read about some of the (relatively) radical aspects of the bill in this summary from govtrack.us.
Now for the last time, stop fantasizing that the Federal Government is going to save your house and just hire a bankruptcy lawyer already.

Is Anything Selling?
Bright spots in the housing nightmare
Is Anything Selling?
By David Koeppel, MSN Money
The mortgage meltdown isn’t messing with Texas — much — or with parts of Manhattan. Here are 3 categories of real estate that have gone mostly unscathed amid the pain. Finding reasons for optimism in a floundering housing market is no easy task. Nevada, Florida and California are among the states that have been devastated by foreclosures and tumbling home prices, and even the most elegant neighborhoods haven’t been immune.
Foreclosures have hit from the Hamptons to Beverly Hills, and reports that celebrities such as Ed McMahon and boxer Evander Holyfield are in danger of defaulting on multimillion-dollar homes show that even wealthy Americans are vulnerable.
But economists and real-estate agents insist that if you look hard enough, there is indeed some good news. Texas’ housing prices, buoyed by the state’s thriving energy economy and strong job market forecast, have stayed even or posted gains, and in both the Carolinas and parts of the Rocky Mountain region, prices have been relatively stable compared with the huge declines recorded in many parts of the country. An economic boom in Texas?

3rd cir
Windt v. Qwest Communications, 06-4662, 06-4808 [June 10, 2008]
In a lawsuit brought by bankruptcy trustees of a Dutch company asserting various claims against defendants who were allegedly responsible for the company’s insolvency, judgment dismissing trustee-plaintiff’s complaint on forum non-conveniens grounds is affirmed where the district court did not abuse its discretion in: 1) affording low deference to plaintiffs’ choice of forum in view of Netherlands’ substantial interest in resolving a dispute concerning alleged mismanagement of a Dutch company by board members and officers of that Dutch company; 2) concluding that avoiding problems in the application of foreign law favored dismissal; 3) balancing the public and private interest factors implicated in the case; and 4) determining that the convenience of litigating the dispute in New Jersey was outweighed by the oppressive or vexatious effect on defendants.
8th cir
US v. Mitchell, 07-3136 [June 10, 2008]
Conviction upon defendant’s retrial for knowingly and fraudulently making a false statement under penalty of perjury in a bankruptcy case is affirmed where the circuit court declines to revisit a double jeopardy issue, and there was sufficient evidence to sustain his conviction.
