Picacho Hills Utility Company, Inc.

UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
In re:
PICACHO HILLS UTILITY COMPANY, INC., Case No. 11-13-10742 TL
Debtor.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Debtor Picacho Hills Utility Company, Inc. is a small water and sewer utility in Las
Cruces, New Mexico. The United States Trustee (the “UST”) and creditor Bright View Land
Company, Inc. (“Bright View”) moved to convert this case to Chapter 7 pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §
1112(b).1 Alternatively, Bright View moved to appoint a Chapter 11 trustee pursuant to § 1104.
The Court tried the matter on September 3 and 4, 2014. For the reasons set forth below, the
Court finds that cause exists to convert the case to Chapter 7.
I. FACTS
The Court finds the following facts, taken from the evidence presented at trial, and from
the Court taking judicial notice of the docket in this bankruptcy case.2
The Debtor
Debtor, a New Mexico corporation, operated as a public utility as defined in section 3(G)
of the New Mexico Public Utility Act, N.M.S.A. § 62-3-1 et seq. Prepetition, Debtor provided
water and sewer service to approximately 1,000 residences in and around the Picacho Hills
1 Creditor Peter Gould initially joined in the motion to convert, doc. 148. Mr. Gould later withdrew the
joinder to avoid the cost of participating in the trial, but indicated that he still believes conversion is in the
best interest of creditors. Mr. Gould filed a claim in the amount of $103,505.90.
2 See St. Louis Baptist Temple, Inc. v. Fed. Deposit Ins. Corp., 605 F.2d 1169, 1172 (10th Cir. 1979)

Cleaning Corp., 196 F.3d 1, 8 (1st Cir. 1999) (citing Fed.R.Evid. 201 and concluding that “[t]he
bankruptcy court appropriately took judicial notice of its own docket”); In re Quade, 496 B.R. 520, 524
(Bankr. N.D. Ill. 2013) (A “bankruptcy court [is authorized] ... to take judicial notice of its own docket.”).

development near Las Cruces, New Mexico. Debtor was regulated by the New Mexico Public
Regulation Commission (the “Commission”).
Debtor is wholly owned by Stephen C. Blanco (“Blanco”). Blanco has been Debtor‟s
president for approximately 30 years. Debtor rented space from Blanco‟s house at a rate of $400
per month and operated out of his house, as least in part.
Debtor had a handful of employees including Lauri Lucero, who performed
administrative functions. Randy Travis, an independent CPA, performed accounting services for
Debtor for approximately 20 years.
Debtor‟s business practices and accounting procedures were fairly lax. Blanco withdrew
cash from Debtor whenever he needed it. Mr. Travis would book the withdrawals as rent
payments, payroll, reimbursable expenses, or employee advances.
The Administrative Proceeding
On or about October 23, 2008, the Commission commenced Case No. 08-00315-UT (the
“Administrative Proceeding”) to investigate Debtor‟s compliance with the Public Utility Act and
the Commission‟s rules, regulations, and orders (together, the “Commission Rules”). The
hearing examiner, Carolyn R. Glick, held a final hearing in the Administrative Proceeding over
four days in February, 2010.
The Administrative Proceeding afforded Debtor a full and fair opportunity to litigate the
matters at issue. The final hearing included seven witnesses and 34 exhibits. Pre-hearing
procedure, discovery, and preparation were comprehensive and took place over 15 months.
On May 26, 2010, the hearing examiner completed her Final Recommended Decision
(“FRD”).3 The FRD is 88 pages long. On August 12, 2010, the Commission issued its Final
Order in the Administrative Proceeding (the “Final Order”), adopting the hearing examiner‟s
3 Debtor sought to disqualify Ms. Glick based on alleged bias, but the effort failed. FRD, p. 7.

FRD with few exceptions. Debtor appealed the Final Order to the New Mexico Supreme Court,
which affirmed the Commission‟s decision in all respects.
The Commission made various findings regarding Debtor‟s and Blanco‟s misconduct.
Those findings are binding upon this Court under principles of collateral estoppel/issue
preclusion.4 Among those findings are:
(a) Debtor repeatedly violated Commission Rules;
(b) Blanco gave false testimony;
(c) Blanco attempted to intimidate potential witnesses;
(d) Blanco converted substantial Debtor funds for personal and other uses;
(e) Debtor engaged in multiple unauthorized financial transactions; and
(f) Debtor failed to account for significant amounts of money in its books.
As a result of Debtor‟s misconduct, the Commission recommended that a receiver be
appointed to liquidate its assets. The Commission also fined Debtor $50,000 and Blanco
$950,000.
The Commission ordered Debtor to include language in any loan documents stating that
any water rights owned by Debtor (the “Water Rights”) cannot be separated from the utilities
without Commission approval.
4 When applying principles of collateral estoppel based on state court judgments, the bankruptcy court
looks to the applicable requirements of the state in which the judgment was entered. See Gonzales v.
Hernandez, 175 F.3d 1202, 1204 (10th Cir. 1999) (“A federal court is required to give a state court
judgment the same preclusive effect it would be given under the laws of the state in which it was
rendered.”) (citations omitted). Under New Mexico law, administrative adjudications can form the basis
for collateral estoppel. See Shovelin v. Cent. New Mexico Elec. Co-op, Inc., 850 P.2d 996, 1001 (N.M.
1993) (noting that “administrative adjudicative determinations may be given preclusive effect if rendered
under conditions in which the parties have the opportunity to „fully and fairly litigate the issue at the
administrative hearing‟”). The Court finds that Debtor was given a full and fair opportunity to litigate
before the Commission and that the FRD, as adopted by the Final Order, can fairly be the basis for issue
preclusion.

The Receiver Action
On September 2, 2010, creditor Bank of the Rio Grande (the “Bank”), filed an action in
the Third Judicial District Court, Dona Ana County, New Mexico, styled Bank of Rio Grande v.
Picacho Hills Utility Company, Inc., et al., No. D-307-CV-201002416 (the “Receiver Action”).
The Commission intervened in that action and joined in the Bank‟s application to appoint a
receiver. The state court appointed Robert Martin as Receiver on November 14, 2011.
When the Receiver took over, Debtor had $1,000 in the bank. Blanco had withdrawn
over $180,000 in cash from Debtor‟s account at Bank of the Rio Grande in the 18 months prior
to the Receiver‟s appointment. Approximately $7,200 constituted rent payments.5 Some of the
money was withdrawn to pay Blanco‟s salary and to reimburse him for business expenses,
although it is unclear how much.
Between May and August of 2011, Blanco caused Debtor to issue two checks totaling
$24,000 to Lauri Lucero. Unlike other checks issued to Ms. Lucero, the memo line did not
indicate what the payments were for. Ms. Lucero typically earned between $2000 and $3000 per
month. Blanco testified that he issued the check for $20,000 to reimburse Ms. Lucero for
computer equipment she purchased for Debtor. This testimony was not credible.
The only documents Blanco provided to the Receiver were Debtor‟s accounting records
for 2010 and 2011. The Receiver requested access to Debtor‟s computers, which were located in
Blanco‟s home, but Blanco refused.
After a lengthy mediation, the parties reached a settlement in the Receiver Action. As
part of the settlement, Debtor and Blanco agreed that the Bank held a valid and perfected lien on
the Water Rights. They also agreed that all of Debtor‟s assets, including the Water Rights,
would be sold by the Receiver.
5 Blanco rented space to Debtor at a rate of $400 during the 18-month period.
Case 13-10742-t7 Doc 244 Filed 09/17/14 Entered 09/17/14 09:25:01 Page 4 of 14

-5-
The state court entered a stipulated partial judgment (the “Judgment”) memorializing the
settlement agreement on August 31, 2012 at 9:51 a.m. Blanco‟s counsel did not sign the
Judgment, but Blanco was aware of it and had agreed to the settlement represented by the
Judgment through his counsel, Alex Chisolm.6
The Conversion of Debtor’s Water Rights
About five hours after the Judgment was entered, unbeknownst to the Receiver, Blanco
caused Debtor to convey 1,876 AFY of Debtor‟s water rights (the “Water Rights”) to an entity
called Rio Grande Investments, LLC, which then conveyed the Water Rights to Resurrection
Mining, LLC. Though it is not entirely clear what interest Blanco had in Rio Grande
Investments and/or Resurrection Mining, he acted as though he maintained control over the
transferred Water Rights.
Blanco knew the Judgment prohibited him from transferring the Water Rights.
Nevertheless, by the conveyance Blanco intended to maintain control over the Water Rights and
prevent the Receiver from consummating a proposed sale of Debtor‟s assets.
In January and February of 2013, Blanco began contacting various attorneys to represent
Debtor in bankruptcy. In lieu of a retainer, Blanco offered the attorneys a portion of the Water
Rights. Blanco also pressured David Esparza, a hydrology consultant with whom he often
worked, to sell the Water Rights to raise money. Blanco was ultimately unsuccessful, and the
Water Rights were later sold by the Receiver.
The Chapter 11 Case
Debtor filed this Chapter 11 case on March 7, 2013. Various creditors moved to dismiss
the case pursuant to § 1112(b) based on Debtor‟s alleged bad faith filing. Alternatively, several
6 At one point Blanco suggested he did not know whether he agreed to the Judgment and that he was
generally unaware of its provisions. This testimony, along with Blanco‟s testimony that he did not know
he was prohibited from transferring the water rights, was not credible.
Case 13-10742-t7 Doc 244 Filed 09/17/14 Entered 09/17/14 09:25:01 Page 5 of 14

parties asked the Court to abstain from exercising jurisdiction pursuant to § 305, and to excuse
turnover pursuant to § 543.
The Court held a trial on those motions in April 2013. On April 26, 2013, the Court
issued a Memorandum Opinion, in which it declined to dismiss the bankruptcy case based on
Debtor‟s alleged bad faith filing and instead opted to temporarily abstain from exercising
jurisdiction to allow the Receiver to sell Debtor‟s assets.
The Receiver sold all of Debtor‟s assets, including the Water Rights, in or around January
2014. Shortly thereafter, the bankruptcy case was reactivated. On March 31, 2014, the net
proceeds, which totaled $726,191.41, were deposited into the Court registry. As of August 31,
2014, $666,112.43 remained in the Court registry.
Debtor‟s schedules reflect liabilities of $1,369,688.61. Filed claims exceed $1,865,000.
Debtor objected to five of the seventeen filed claims. Debtor takes particular issue with
the $931,547.91 claim of Bright View, which is the largest claim filed by any creditor.
In its objection to Bright View‟s claim, Debtor argued that the Commission‟s findings
and conclusions in the FRD constituted, inter alia, a determination that certain construction costs
incurred by Bright View cannot be included in Debtor‟s rate base. According to Debtor, such a
determination means that Bright View‟s claim should be disallowed. The Court overruled
Debtor‟s objection to the Bright View claim.7
Despite his protestations to the contrary, Blanco is not particularly knowledgeable about
the claims filed in this case. He admitted that he relies on his attorneys and his accountant to
7 At a status conference on the Bright View claim objection, Debtor, through counsel, waived its right to
an evidentiary hearing and consented to the Court ruling on the papers filed in connection with the claim
objection. Those papers included the contract between Bright View and Debtor, the FRD, and the Final
Order. Shortly after the Court overruled the claim objection, Debtor moved for reconsideration on the
grounds that Debtor‟s counsel did not have the authority to waive its right to an evidentiary hearing on the
claim objection. The Court has not ruled on that motion.

provide the basis for any objections. Blanco also testified that he intends to pay smaller vendors
before paying larger vendors.
A motivating factor in Blanco‟s administration of the bankruptcy case is the prospect of
generating a surplus. For that reason he has focused primarily on objecting to the largest claims.
Blanco can only get a dividend on his equity interest if he prevails on his objection to Bright
View‟s claim.
Debtor is unlikely to pursue recovery of, or even investigate, the prepetition transfers to
Blanco and Ms. Lucero.
Debtor is no longer operating, and rehabilitation is not possible. The sale proceeds are
the only assets available for distribution to creditors.
There is no evidence that Debtor intends to pursue confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan.
Blanco testified that he believes he can “wrap up” the Chapter 11 case in one month.
II. DISCUSSION
A. 11 U.S.C. § 1112(b): Conversion for “Cause”.
Section 1112(b) provides: “[T]he court shall convert a case under this chapter to a case
under chapter 7 or dismiss a case under this chapter, whichever is in the best interests of creditors
and the estate, for cause....”
Section 1112(b)(4) lists 16 grounds that constitute “cause” for conversion or dismissal.
The list is not exhaustive. Hall v. Vance, 887 F.2d 1041, 1044 (10th Cir. 1987) (list of
enumerated grounds is not exhaustive); In re SB Props. Inc., 185 B.R. 198, 203 (E.D. Penn.
1995) (stating that the “legislative history of § 1112(b) confirms that what may constitute „cause‟
is non-exhaustive”).
Once cause is established under § 1112(b), the Court must dismiss or convert the case, or
Case 13-10742-t7 Doc 244 Filed 09/17/14 Entered 09/17/14 09:25:01 Page 7 of 14

-8-
appoint a Chapter 11 trustee, unless the court finds “unusual circumstances ... that establish that
the requested conversion or dismissal is not in the best interests of creditors and the estate.” 11
U.S.C. § 1112(b)(2). “The bankruptcy court has broad discretion …” in fashioning relief under §
1112(b). Hall, 887 F.2d at 1044.
i. Debtor No Longer Has a Legitimate Chapter 11 Purpose.
To remain in Chapter 11, debtors are generally expected to “point to a reasonable plan of
reorganization …” involving liquidation or rehabilitation. In re Vincens, 2008 WL 2855630, * 1
(10th Cir. 2008); In re East End Development, LLC, 491 B.R. 633, 641 (Bankr. E.D. N.Y. 2013)
(noting that appropriate uses of Chapter 11 include reorganization, rehabilitation, and
liquidation).8 “Where the debtor is a corporate shell” and reorganization is not possible, courts
may “convert a reorganization proceeding to a straight [Chapter 7] bankruptcy [case].…” Hall,
887 F.2d at 1044-1045. See also Vincens, 2008 WL 2855630 (affirming dismissal for cause
where the business was non-operational, debtor had no income and no business records, and
debtor failed to point to a reasonable plan of reorganization). To avoid conversion or dismissal,
a defunct Chapter 11 debtor must have some special ability to maximize value for creditors. See
In re Integrated Telecom Express, Inc., 384 F.3d 108, 123 (3rd Cir. 2004) (noting that a Chapter
11 case “can be used to maximize value for creditors”); Brook Valley IV, 347 B.R. at 673 (same).
Here, Debtor has no operations or income. Rehabilitation is impossible, and Debtor‟s
assets have already been liquidated. Blanco has not indicated any intention of proposing a
Chapter 11 plan or reorganizing. Instead, he intends to administer claims, pay creditors, and then
presumably move to dismiss. Blanco essentially wants Debtor to remain in Chapter 11 long
enough to generate a surplus, which he believes will take one month. This is not a legitimate
8 See also Lange v. Schropp (In re Brook Valley IV), 347 B.R. 662, 673 (8th Cir. BAP 2006) (“Chapter 11
cases are filed on behalf of … businesses in order to preserve and protect their assets through
reorganization, or in order to effect an orderly liquidation of such assets.”).
Case 13-10742-t7 Doc 244 Filed 09/17/14 Entered 09/17/14 09:25:01 Page 8 of 14

-9-
reason to burden creditors with the higher fees associated with the administration of a Chapter 11
case. Blanco‟s one-month estimate is not at all realistic.
Further, even if Debtor did want to file a post-liquidation plan for distribution, it is
difficult to see how such a plan would be better than immediate conversion. There is no need for
a plan and disclosure statement to distribute cash on allowed claims in accordance with the
distribution scheme under the Bankruptcy Code.
ii. Debtor Refuses to Investigate Prepetition Transfers.
“[D]ebtors-in-possession have a fiduciary duty to maximize the value of the estate.” In
re Reliant Energy Channelview LP, 594 F.3d 200, 210 (3rd Cir. 2010). That duty includes
making “impartial investigations and decisions in pursuing claims on behalf of the estate.”
Matter of Fiesta Homes of Georgia, Inc., 125 B.R. 321, 326 (Bankr. S.D. Ga. 1990) (internal
citations omitted). A number of courts have found “cause” to convert or dismiss where the
debtor in possession has a conflict of interest in properly investigating and pursuing potential
fraudulent transfers. See, e.g., In re Brutsche, 476 B.R. 298, 309 (Bankr. D.N.M. 2010) (finding
“cause” under § 1112(b) where the court had serious doubts “about whether [d]ebtor would
adequately investigate … and pursue potential [fraudulent transfer] claims against his spouse”);
In re Fisher, 2008 WL 1775123, *12 (Bankr. D. Mont. 2008) (remarking that conversion was
appropriate because “a Chapter 7 would … no doubt, investigate [d]ebtors‟ alleged fraudulent
conveyances”). Cf In re Concord Coal Corporation, 11 B.R. 552, 554 (Bankr. S.D. W. Va.
1981) (investigation of transfers to one-third owner could not be expected when that owner was
in charge of management).
The Court is not convinced that Debtor is capable of pursuing estate causes of action in a
professional and unbiased manner. The uncontroverted evidence shows Debtor transferred
Case 13-10742-t7 Doc 244 Filed 09/17/14 Entered 09/17/14 09:25:01 Page 9 of 14

-10-
$180,000 to Blanco and $24,000 to Laurie Lucero within two years before the petition date. No
investigation of the transfers has been made, and Blanco was not credible when he explained
their purpose. Under these circumstances, a Chapter 7 trustee should be installed to investigate
the suspect transfers, unburdened by any conflict of interest.
iii. Blanco‟s History of Misconduct.
The parties seeking conversion spent most of the trial presenting evidence about Debtor‟s
and Blanco‟s prepetition misconduct. Such misconduct can constitute “cause” under § 1112(b),
though in most cases it is relevant to whether the debtor filed a petition in bad faith. In re
Melendez Concrete Inc., 2009 WL 2997920, at *3 (Bankr. D.N.M. 2009); In re Frieouf, 938 F.2d
1099, 1105 (10th Cir. 1991).
As Debtor correctly points out, entities seeking bankruptcy relief typically have a history
of lax business and accounting practices. In re Colorado-Ute Elec. Ass’n, Inc., 120 B.R. 164,
174 (Bankr. D. Colo. 1990) (recognizing that “typically there is some degree of mismanagement
or incompetence in most businesses which file for protection under Chapter 11”). Consequently,
a showing of some prepetition misconduct will not alone be enough to establish “cause” in most
cases. However, where as here the misconduct was so severe, it can be given greater weight as
part of the totality of circumstances establishing cause.
Blanco has consistently flouted laws, regulations, court orders, Commission Rules, and
the rights of creditors in order to preserve Debtor‟s property for himself. The Commission found
that while operating the utility, Blanco converted substantial Debtor funds for personal use, and
engaged in multiple unauthorized financial transactions. Blanco transferred tens of thousands of
dollars to himself and his employee before the Receiver was appointed. After agreeing to allow
the Receiver to sell Debtor‟s assets, Blanco transferred the Water Rights to entities in which he
Case 13-10742-t7 Doc 244 Filed 09/17/14 Entered 09/17/14 09:25:01 Page 10 of 14

-11-
had an interest. Further, Blanco was dishonest in front the Commission, and portions of his
testimony in this Court lacked credibility. The Court is not confident in Blanco‟s willingness to
act as a fiduciary of the estate.
Based on the facts that Debtor no longer has a legitimate Chapter 11 purpose; Blanco‟s
failure to investigate fraudulent transfers; his apparent conflict of interest; his lack of credibility;
and his history of misconduct, the Court concludes that cause exists to convert this case to a
Chapter 7 case.
B. Debtor Has Not Established “Unusual Circumstances”.
Once “cause” has been established, the Court must convert, dismiss, or appoint a trustee
unless it specifically identifies “unusual circumstances ... that establish that such relief is not in
the best interest of creditors and the estate.” 11 U.S.C. § 1112(b)(2). “The code does not define
„unusual circumstances‟ within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 1112(b).” In re Orbit Petroleum,
Inc., 395 B.R. 145, 148 (Bankr. D.N.M. 2008) (internal quotations omitted). Nevertheless, “the
import of section 1112(b) is that, if cause exists, the case should be converted or dismissed
unless unusual facts or circumstances demonstrate that the purposes of chapter 11 would be
better served by maintaining the case as a chapter 11 proceeding.” Id. (quoting 7 Collier on
Bankruptcy ¶ 1112.04[3] (Alan N. Resnick and Henry J. Sommer, eds., 15th ed. rev. 2008)).
Here, Blanco argues that “unusual circumstances” exist because, if Debtor remains in
possession, all allowed claims will be paid in full. More specifically, Blanco contends that he is
the best person to administer claims because: (1) he has a long-standing relationship with many
of the claimants and will be able to effectively negotiate with them; (2) he is already very
knowledgeable about the filed claims; and (3) he will successfully object to the claims of Bright
View and other creditors.
Case 13-10742-t7 Doc 244 Filed 09/17/14 Entered 09/17/14 09:25:01 Page 11 of 14

-12-
These arguments are unavailing. First, the relationship between Blanco and many large
claimants has completely broken down. Two large creditors - Bright View and Peter Gould -
support conversion. David Esparza, who asserted a claim for $92,127, testified against Blanco at
the final hearing.
Second, there is no evidence that Blanco has any specialized knowledge about the claims
in this case. He testified that he relied on his attorneys and his accountant to determine whether
claims are valid. In the one instance where the Court ruled on a claim objection, Debtor sought
reconsideration using entirely new arguments and evidence.
Finally, the Court is not convinced that Debtor would be more able than a Chapter 7
trustee to generate a surplus through the claims objection process. Debtor spent much of the trial
attempting to demonstrate why Bright View‟s claim should be disallowed. The Court previously
overruled Debtor‟s objection to the claim, based on different evidence. Though some of the
evidence presented at the trial would likely have been relevant to the previous ruling, the new
evidence was not conclusive. It does not inspire confidence that the new evidence was not
presented earlier. In any event, Debtor would have standing in a Chapter 7 case to object to
Bright View‟s claim if there is a reasonable possibility of a surplus after all claims are paid. In
re 60 East 80th Street Equities, Inc., 218 F.3d 109, 115 (2nd Cir. 2000) ([A] debtor is a party in
interest and has standing to object to a claim where there could be a surplus after all claims are
paid.”) (citing 7 Collier on Bankruptcy § 502.02[2][c] (Alan N. Resnick and Henry J. Sommer,
eds., (15th ed. rev. 2008)).
In sum, the Court is not convinced that unusual circumstances exist which demonstrate
that the estate, the creditors, or the policy behind Chapter 11 would be better served by allowing
the case to remain in Chapter 11. The Court also believes that conversion, rather than dismissal
Case 13-10742-t7 Doc 244 Filed 09/17/14 Entered 09/17/14 09:25:01 Page 12 of 14

-13-
or the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee, is in the best interests of the estate. Conversion will
allow a neutral, unbiased trustee to administer claims and investigate transfers without incurring
the administrative costs associated with a Chapter 11 proceeding.
C. Motion to Appoint a Trustee Under § 1104.
Because the Court is converting the case to Chapter 7, it need not reach the issue of
whether a Chapter 11 trustee should be appointed under § 1104. Bright View‟s alternative
request for such relief will therefore be denied as moot.
III. CONCLUSION
The Court finds that the case should be converted to Chapter 7 for cause under § 1112(b).
The Court will enter a separate order consistent with this opinion.
