Sensenich v. PHH Mortgage Corporation
Petition for certiorari denied on June 13, 2022
Issues: (1) Whether appellate courts may affirm a bankruptcy sanctions order on an alternate correct ground
even if the order does not analyze the ground; (2) whether sanctions based on inherent judicial
power always require a finding of bad faith; and (3) whether Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 3002.1 authorizes
punitive fines as a form of “appropriate relief.”
