. STATEMENT OF FACTS

—_

SAFE is in the security alarm monitoring business. Residential and commercial
customers contract with SAFE for security alarm monitoring services. At one time, the
Terrells, through their closely-held corporations, Sessco, Inc. (“Sessco”) and Security
Equipment Sales Service Company of Texas, Inc., provided on-site service and repair
for a number of SAFE’s customers. A dispute arose between SAFE and the Terrells
which ultimately resulted in the following judgments in favor of SAFE and against the
Terrells:

1. A judgment in the amount of $868,997.79, plus post-judgment interest,

filed in Case No. MSN-CIV-03-1553, styled Security Alarm Financing
Enterprises, L.P. v Sessco, Inc., in the Superior Court of California,
County of Contra Costa, on March 2, 2005, as amended by Amended
Judgment filed in Case No. MSN-CIV-03-1553, styled Security Alarm
Financing Enterprises, L.P. v Sessco, Inc., in the Superior Court of

California, County of Contra Costa, on October 31, 2006 (the “Contra
Costa Litigation”); and

U.S.C. § 523(a)(6), finding that the debt forming the basis for each of the judgments
against the Terrells arose from “injury to the person or property” of SAFE and that the
only issues remaining to be adjudicated with respect to each of the judgments were (1)
whether the injury to SAFE by the Terrells was “willful” and (2) whether the injury to
SAFE by the Terrells was “malicious.”

On September 14, 2007, SAFE filed a second motion for summary judgment
alleging there is no genuine issue of material fact concerning the “willfulness” and
“maliciousness” of the Terrell’s actions and that it is entitled to a summary judgment
declaring each of the judgment debts is nondischargeable under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(6)
as a matter of law. On November 21, 2007, the Terrells filed a separate statement of
genuine issues, memorandum of points and authorities, and declaration in opposition to
the motion. On November 30, 2007, SAFE filed a reply to the Terrell’s oppostion. Ata
hearing on December 13, 2007, the matter was taken under submission.

ll. DISCUSSION

This court has jurisdiction over this adversary proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§§ 157(b) and 1334(b). This matter is a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(1).
Venue is appropriate in this court. 28 U.S.C. § 1409(a). To prevail under 11 U.S.C. §
523(a)(6), the plaintiff must establish the allegations of the complaint by a
preponderance of the evidence. Grogan v. Garner, 498 U.S. 279, 291 (1991);
| ansdowne v. Cox (In re Cox), 41 F.3d 1294, 1297 (9" Cir. 1986). Objections to the

dischargeability of a debt are to be literally and strictly construed against the objector
and liberally construed in favor of the debtor. Quarre v. Saylor (In re Saylor), 108 F.3d
219, 221 (9" Cir. 1997); Hayhoe v. Cole (In re Cole), 226 B.R. 647, 653 (9" Cir. BAP
1998).

A. Standard for Summary Judgment

Summary judgment is appropriate “if the pleadings, depositions, answers to
interrogatories and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that
there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to
judgment as a matter of law.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c).? The purpose of summary judgment
is to avoid unnecessary trials when there is no dispute as to the material facts before

the court. Northwest Motorcycle Ass’n v. U.S. Dep't of Agric., 18 F.3d 1468, 1471 (g"

Cir. 1994).
Under Rule 56(c), the moving party bears the initial burden of establishing that
there are no genuine issues of material fact to be decided at trial. Celotex Corp. v.

Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322-23 (1986); Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242,

248-50 (1986). “A ‘material fact’ is one that is relevant to an element of a claim or
defense or whose existence might affect the outcome of the suit. The materiality ofa
fact is thus determined by the substantive law governing the claim or defense.” T.W.

Elec. Serv. v. Pac. Elec. Contractors Ass'n, 809 F.2d 626, 630 (9" Cir. 1987). Genuine

issues of material fact are those “factual issues that make a difference to the potential

2 Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, applicable to adversary proceedings by virtue of Rule
7056, provides for summary judgment adjudication of issues:

(c) Motion and Proceedings Thereon . . . The judgment sought shall be rendered forthwith if the
pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the
affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving
party is entitled to a judgment as a matter oflaw...

(e) Form of Affidavits; Further Testimony; Defense Required ... When a motion for summary
judgment is made and supported as provided in this rule, an adverse party may not rest upon the
mere allegations or denials of the adverse party’s pleading, but the adverse party’s response, by
affidavits or as otherwise provided in this rule, must set forth specific facts showing that there is a
genuine issue for trial. If the adverse party does not so respond, summary judgment, if
appropriate, shall be entered against the adverse party.

Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c) & (e).

outcome and ‘that properly can be resolved only by a finder of fact because they may

reasonably be resolved in favor of either party.” Svob. v. Bryan (In re Bryan), 261 B.R.

240, 243 (9" Cir. BAP 2001) (quoting Anderson, 477 U.S. at 250). In other words, a
material fact is “genuine” if “the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a
verdict for the nonmoving party.” Anderson, 477 U.S. at 248.

Once the moving party’s burden is met by presenting evidence which, if
uncontroverted, would entitle the moving party to a directed verdict at trial, the burden
then shifts to the respondent to set forth specific facts demonstrating that there is a

genuine issue for trial. Rudberg v. State of Nevada, 896 F.Supp. 1017, 1020 (D. Nev.

1995) (citing Anderson, 477 U.S. at 250). The respondent “will not be able to withstand
a motion for summary judgment merely by making allegations, rather, the party
opposing the motion must go beyond its pleadings and designate specific facts by use
of affidavits, depositions, admissions, or answers to interrogatories showing there is a

genuine issue for trial.” In re Ikon Office Solutions, Inc., 277 F.3d 658, 666 (3d Cir.

2002). A mere “scintilla” of evidence supporting the respondent's position will not be
sufficient. Anderson, 477 U.S. at 247-48. “Where the record taken as a whole could
not lead a rational trier of fact to find for the non-moving party, there is no ‘genuine’

issue for trial.” Hawking v. Ford Motor Credit Co., 210 F.3d 540, 545 (5"" Cir. 2000).

B. Willful and Malicious Injury
Section 523(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code excepts from discharge debts resulting

from “willful and malicious injury by the debtor to another entity or to the property of
another entity.” 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(6). A “deliberate or intentional injury” is required
before § 523(a)(6) will render a debt nondischargeable. See Kawaaukau v. Geiger, 523
U.S. 57, 61 (1998) (stating that nondischargeability under § 523(a)(6) “takes a

deliberate or intentional injury, not merely a deliberate or intentional act that leads to

injury”).

Section 523(a)(6) requires separate findings on the issues of “willful” and
“malicious.” The “willful” injury requirement of § 523(a)(6) is met “when it is shown
either that the debtor had a subjective motive to inflict injury or that the debtor believed

that injury was substantially certain to occur as a result of his conduct.” Carrillo v. Su (In

re Su), 290 F.3d 1140, 1144 (9"" Cir. 2002) (quoting Petralia v. Jercich (In re Jercich),

238 F.3d 1202, 1208 (9" Cir.), cert. denied, 533 U.S. 930 (2001)). A “malicious injury”
involves “(1) a wrongful act, (2) done intentionally, (3) which necessarily causes injury,

and (4) is done without just cause or excuse.” Id. at 1146-47 (quoting Jercich, 238 F.3d

at 1209). See, e.g., Diamond v. Kolcum (In re Diamond), 285 F.3d 822, 829 (9" Cir.

2002) (holding that a state court jury finding that the debtors “intentionally caused injury”
to the creditor “without just cause” was entitled to preclusive effect for purposes of §

523(a)(6)); Murray v. Bammer (In re Bammer), 131 F.3d 788, 791 (9th Cir. 1997) (en

banc) (stating that malice under § 523(a)(6) “does not require a showing of biblical
malice, i.e., personal hatred, spite or ill-will’).

The court adopts Facts 1 through 40 of SAFE’s Statement of Uncontroverted

|Facts and Supporting Evidence (“Facts 1-40") filed on September 21, 2007, and

incorporates Facts 1-40 herein by reference as though fully set forth herein. Facts 1-40
are established by SAFE’s summary judgment evidence. The Terrells did not offer
evidence to controvert Facts 1-40. The Terrells do not dispute the existence of the
Contra Costa Litigation or the Los Angeles Litigation. Nor do the Terrells dispute that
SAFE alleged intentional tort claims against the Terrells in each of the state court
actions. The Terrells’ defense of SAFE’s nondischargeability claim rests primarily on
the following premise: (1) the fact that the Arbitrator of the Contra Costa Litigation did

not find that the Terrells acted willfully and maliciously when he had an opportunity to do

so in awarding punitive damages and attorneys fees under California Civil Code §
3426.1(d) “suggests that the court [sic] may have believed the activities complained of
were not malicious”? and (2) the fact that judgment was entered in the Los Angeles
Litigation on the breach of contract claim is “tantamount to a determination that no
tortuous conduct occurred and therefore the actions were not willful or malicious.”*
While these may be issues of fact, the court cannot find that they rise to the level of
genuine issues of material fact requiring a trial of this adversary proceeding.

Issues that were actually litigated and necessarily decided in the course of
obtaining an arbitration award confirmed as a judgment by a California court are entitled
to preclusive effect, provided: (1) the issues are identical; (2) the issues were actually
litigated in the former proceeding; (3) the issues were necessarily decided in the former
proceeding; (4) the former decision is final on the merits; and (5) the party against
whom preclusion is sought is either the same, or in privity with, the party in the former

proceeding. Khaligh v. Hadaegh (In re Khaligh), 338 B.R. 817, 824 (9" Cir. BAP 2006).

In this case, the findings contained in the Decision of the Arbitrator dated October
15, 2004, as supplemented by the Final Decision of the Arbitrator dated December 30,
2004, form the basis for the judgments entered in the Contra Costa Litigation. In its
October 15" decision, the Arbitrator made the following findings of fact:
1. Sessco, after termination of its agreement with SAFE, systematically and
extensively contacted SAFE’s customers to solicit monitoring agreements,
service agreements, and other work and services;

2. Sessco entered into a large number of customer agreements with SAFE’s
customers from October 3, 2003 through February 4, 2004;

3. Sessco engaged in extensive improper solicitation activities;

4. Sessco conducted a large number of solicitations before the customers’
relationships with SAFE ended, and Sessco suggested to some of the
customers that they terminate their relationships with SAFE;

5. Sessco misappropriated SAFE’s customer lists, the personal information
and preferences about the customers, the scheduling of their renewals,
the services and equipment which they used, and other proprietary
information which constituted trade secrets of SAFE in violation of its
contract with SAFE and California Civil Code § 3426.1(d);

6. Sessco deleted from its records important detailed customer information
shortly after the issuance of the preliminary injunction by the Superior
Court, exacerbating the difficulty in identifying customers of SAFE who
were solicited by Sessco; and

7. SAFE was justified in terminating its contract with Sessco in view of
Sessco’s conduct, both before and after termination of the agreement, in
soliciting business from SAFE’s customers.

The Terrells were the principals of Sessco. The Terrells are jointly and severally liable
with Sessco for such conduct under the Amended Judgment entered in the Contra
Costa Litigation, which confirms the arbitration award to SAFE as a judgment of a
California state court.

In the Los Angeles Litigation, a Statement of Decision was entered after a trial on

the merits in which the court made the following findings of fact:

1. Sessco actively encouraged SAFE’s customers to transfer monitoring
contracts to it in the period following the October 3, 2003 termination letter
and continuing through February of 2004;

2. The Terrells ignored Sessco’s corporate form, used Sessco as a “piggy
bank,” and transferred monitoring contracts procured through Sessco
without consideration to a Family Trust; and

3. Sessco’s “financial documents were essentially meaningless ‘flim flam’
designed either to avoid taxes or to avoid potential judgments for the
individuals.”

As in the Contra Costa Litigation, the Terrells were held jointly and severally liable with
Sessco for damages awarded to SAFE under the judgment entered in the Los Angeles
Litigation.

With respect to issue preclusion, (1) the issues concerning the theft of

customers, misappropriation of customer lists, trade secrets, and other proprietary
information, and the resulting damage to SAFE sought to be precluded from litigation in
this adversary proceeding are identical to those litigated in the Contra Costa Litigation
and Los Angeles Litigation; (2) the issues were actually litigated in the former
proceedings; (3) the issues were necessarily decided in the former proceedings; (4) the
decisions were final and on the merits, and (5) the parties against whom preclusion is
sought are the same parties as in the former proceedings.

For purposes of the “willfulness” requirement of § 523(a)(6), the court may infer
subjective intent or substantial certainty from the facts and circumstances surrounding
the defendant's conduct. See. e.g., Su, 290 F.3d at 1146 n.6 (stating that “(t]ne
bankruptcy court may consider circumstantial evidence that tends to establish what the
debtor must have actually known when taking the injury-producing action”); Albarran v.

New Form, Inc. (In re Albarran), 347 B.R. 369, 384 (9" Cir. BAP 2006) (stating that

“(s]ubjective intent or substantial certainty may be inferred from all of the facts and
circumstances established”). The summary judgment evidence establishes that the
Terrells’ actions were willful. Sessco and the Terrells wrongfully solicited SAFE’s
customers “systematically and extensively.” Sessco and the Terrells misappropriated
SAFE’s customer lists, trade secrets, and proprietary information. Their conduct was
willful because they had actual knowledge that harm to SAFE was substantially certain
to occur as a result of their actions.

Having established that Terrells’ actions were willful and necessarily caused

injury to SAFE, the court can imply malice. Thiara v. Spycher Bros. (In re Thiara), 285

B.R. 420, 434 (9" Cir. BAP 2002) (observing that “the ‘done intentionally’ element of a
‘malicious’ injury brings into play the same subjective standard of intent which focuses

on the [defendant's] knowledge of harm to the creditor’). Finally, the summary

judgment evidence supports a finding that the Terrells had no just cause or excuse for
their actions. The Terrells acquired customers from SAFE with the specific intent to
divert consumer traffic from SAFE despite having been informed repeatedly by SAFE to
cease and desist their infringement. The Terrells have not produced significantly
probative evidence of specific facts in response to SAFE’s motion showing there is a
genuine issue of material fact requiring a trial in this matter.
III. CONCLUSION

There being no genuine issue as to any material fact for trial, the court finds that
SAFE is entitled to a summary judgment as a matter of law. For the foregoing reasons,
Terrells’ debt to SAFE in the amount of $868,997.79, plus post-judgment interest
thereon, based upon the judgment filed in Case No. MSN-CIV-03-1553, styled Security

Alarm Financing Enterprises, L.P. v Sessco, Inc., in the Superior Court of California,

County of Contra Costa, on March 2, 2005, as amended by Amended Judgment filed in
Case No. MSN-CIV-03-1553, styled Security Alarm Financing Enterprises, L.P. v

Sessco, Inc., in the Superior Court of California, County of Contra Costa, on October

31, 2006, is excepted from discharge under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(6); and further, Terrells’

debt to SAFE in the amount of $213,300.71, plus post-judgment interest thereon, based
upon the judgment filed in Case No. PC035010, styled Security Alarm Financing

Enterprises, L.P. v Security Equipment Sales Service Company of Texas, Inc., et. al., in

the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, on August 31, 2006, is
excepted from discharge under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(6).
A separate judgment will be ¢ntered consis with this opinion.
