American Credit Company (“debtor”) filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition on July 21, 2006.
On September 26, 2007, the debtor instituted this adversary proceeding to avoid an alleged
fraudulent transfer in the amount of approximately $10,000.00 under 11 U.S.C. § 548(a) and recover
this transfer pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 550.
Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule
7012(b)(6), a complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can
be granted, "unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of
his claim which would entitle him to relief." Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41 (1957). In making that
determination, the court must accept as true all pleaded allegations and view the complaint in the
light most favorable to the plaintiffs. Hatfill v. The New York Times Co., 416 F.3d 320, 329 (4th
Cir. 2005).
At the March 13, 2008 hearing on this matter, Defendant presented no argument that the
pleadings and facts set forth in the complaint filed by the debtor are insufficient to state a claim upon
which relief can be granted. Therefore, Defendant’s motion to dismiss is denied.
