The business generally keeps operating while it proposes a plan to restructure its debts. Management usually stays in control as a "debtor in possession".
If you are owed money. The company may keep trading and keep buying. Existing pre-filing debt is frozen and gets treated under the plan, while goods and services delivered AFTER the filing are treated differently from those delivered before.
If you were paid by Mountain View Sports Center, Inc. recently, read this before you spend it. A trustee can sue to take back money the company paid you in the 90 days before it filed. The statute reaches any transfer made "on or within 90 days before the date of the filing of the petition" (11 U.S.C. 547(b)(4)(A)).
The dates, for this case. The petition was filed on 19 February 2020, so the 90-day window runs from 21 November 2019 to 19 February 2020. Money Mountain View Sports Center, Inc. paid you inside those dates is what a preference claim would be about. If you were an insider of Mountain View Sports Center, Inc., and an ordinary supplier is not, the reach-back starts a year earlier on 19 February 2019 (11 U.S.C. 547(b)(4)(B), 11 U.S.C. 101(31)(B)).
Inside that window the law starts from the assumption the company was broke. 11 U.S.C. 547(f) says the debtor "is presumed to have been insolvent" during those 90 days, so nobody has to prove it was insolvent when your payment cleared. That is a presumption applied inside a preference action, and it is not a ruling that the company was insolvent for any other purpose.
There are real defences and suppliers win on them. The common one is that the debt and the payment were both ordinary course between you and this customer, or the payment was made on ordinary business terms (11 U.S.C. 547(c)(2)). Others cover getting paid at the same time you delivered (11 U.S.C. 547(c)(1)) and shipping more goods after the payment (11 U.S.C. 547(c)(4)). Since 2019 the trustee also has to act "based on reasonable due diligence" and take account of defences they know or could reasonably know about (11 U.S.C. 547(b)).
There is a small-dollar floor and we are not going to put a number on it for this case. In a case where the debts are not primarily consumer debts, a transfer below a threshold amount cannot be avoided under this section (11 U.S.C. 547(c)(9)). That amount is adjusted for inflation every three years, "on April 1, 1998, and at each 3-year interval ending on April 1 thereafter" (11 U.S.C. 104(a)), and 11 U.S.C. 104(c) says each adjustment "shall not apply with respect to cases commenced before the date of such adjustments". So the figure that governs is the one in force when this case was commenced, not the current one. We publish the current amount and the one before it, and this case predates both, so the number for it is one to get from the docket or a lawyer. The $5,000 printed in the statute itself is the un-adjusted figure and has not been the operative amount since 2007.
Demand letters on preference claims go out routinely and often get reduced or dropped. The useful response to one is your payment history and a bankruptcy lawyer. Nothing here is legal advice and none of it is a prediction about your situation.
There is no date we can compute, and we are not going to invent one. In chapter 11 the judge sets the bar date rather than a statute (Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3003(c)(3)), and the clerk must mail creditors at least 21 days notice of it (Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002(a)). That notice is the only place the real date exists.
You may not have to file at all. If Mountain View Sports Center, Inc. listed your claim on its schedules, in the right amount, and did not mark it disputed, contingent or unliquidated, that listing is prima facie evidence of your claim and a proof of claim is unnecessary. You must file if you are missing from the schedules, listed for the wrong amount, or flagged as disputed, contingent or unliquidated (Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3003(b)(1) and (c)(2)). Filing anyway is cheap insurance, because the alternative is trusting the company that owes you to have written your number down correctly.
None, and that is a gap in our collection rather than a fact about this case. This case comes from the historical court record, which gives us the debtor, the court, the case number, the chapter and the filing date. It does not carry the individual docket entries, and this case was filed before we began watching the live feeds, so we never saw them go by.
An active case generates entries constantly. Read the absence of a list here as our silence, not the court's.
We hold more case records than docket histories, and the difference matters. Case records — who filed, which court, which chapter, what date — come from the public historical court record and reach back years. Docket entries come from the courts' live filing feeds, which carry only about 24 hours at a time, and we began archiving those on 28 July 2026.
So a case may show a full record and no entries, or three entries when the real docket has three hundred. An empty or short list of entries is a gap in our collection, never a statement that nothing happened.

Everything above comes from the public federal court record: the courts' own CM/ECF filing feeds, and the CourtListener RECAP archive maintained by the Free Law Project, which is where this case record came from.
