In re SHARENNE L. TUCKER Debtor. SHARENNE L. TUCKER

The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Sixth Circuit reversed a bankruptcy court order confirming a Chapter 13 plan that attempted to retain a secured creditor's lien until the completion of plan payments rather than until discharge. The court held that the Bankruptcy Code's plain language requires lien retention until the earlier of debt payment or discharge, leaving no room for judicial modification when a debtor is ineligible for discharge.

State of New York v. Trump

The First Circuit affirmed a preliminary injunction blocking a categorical freeze of federal financial assistance by federal agencies but vacated the portion of the order mandating immediate disbursement of funds. The court held that while the freeze was likely arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act, the district court lacked jurisdiction under the Tucker Act to order direct monetary payments for contractual grant obligations.
