Case Explained: In re EDUARDO ENRIQUE VALLEJO Debtor —————————————- EDUARDO ENRIQUE VALLEJO

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Filed: 2026-06-23 The Ninth Circuit affirmed the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel’s judgment upholding the bankruptcy court’s dismissal of Eduardo Enrique Vallejo’s adversary complaint without leave to amend. The court reviewed the decision de novo and held that the bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion because any amendment to the complaint would have been futile, applying the standard set forth in *Reddy v. Litton Indus., Inc.*, 912 F.2d 291 (9th Cir. 1990). The court further declined to consider issues that were not specifically and distinctly argued in Vallejo’s opening brief or raised for the first time on appeal. As a result, the dismissal stands, and all pending motions and requests are denied. Do It For The Case Law is a news reporting service. Nothing in this episode constitutes legal advice.
