Honorable Paul W. Bonapfel
In avoidance action, where insider status is based on a pseudo-familial relationship, the Court's task is to distinguish between friendship alone, which does not give rise to insider treatment, and a de facto family relationship, which does. Because the undisputed facts are also consistent with mere friendship, the Court cannot make inferences to conclude that they establish, as a matter of law, that Defendant was a de facto relative with insider status, resulting in denial of summary judgment.
