Ledford v. Fort Hamilton Hughes Memorial Hospital Center (In re Mobley)

DECISION

MOTION BY DEFENDANT FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SUSTAINED

ELLIS W. KERR, Bankruptcy Judge.

FACTS

The Trustee filed a Complaint alleging that the Debtor, Dexter Mobley, paid to the Defendant, Fort Hamilton Hughes Memorial Hospital Center, the sum of $300.00 and that such payment constituted a voidable preference under 11 U.S.C. § 547.

The Defendant asserts in its Answer that the $300.00 payment was made in advance of the services rendered and that, therefore, the payment was not for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Debtor before such transfer was made as required by 11 U.S.C. § 547.
