In my opinion, it looks like the judge is siding with Casey Anthony's attorneys.
He knows that if she is forced to give a deposition, or testify at trial, then her "story" will be given for FREE in those settings, and all the attorneys who have been working for her for FREE, will never get paid. It would render her valuable "story" worthless to media who are willing to pay millions.
Casey's attorneys "urged" the judge to postpone the Zenaida deposition set for Oct. 9th - but the judge said he wouldn't postpone it .... but kindly advised the attorney to file a Motion for Protective Order instead [the judge is already inclined to GRANT it].

Now that TES has reached a settlement with her -- there will be no depositions taken. That was worth every penny Casey Anthony has to pay for the settlement. I'm sure the judge is pleased with the settlement.
In my opinion the bankruptcy judge takes an openly negative minded view of Zenaida and Kronk's cases. Totally different than TES' case.
It seems to me, that this judge is anxious to throw out Zenaida and Kronk's cases, as soon as he possibly can, after Casey's attorneys file the necessary Motions.
We will see if the judge stretches the LAW to say that Casey's OBVIOUS defamation of Zenaida and Kronk was
"NOT" "willful and malicious", which is the criteria to keep the cases alive in State Court [not bankruptcy court].
This bankruptcy judge said:
If the Zenaida and Kronk claims are found to be dischargeable, a state court jury trial would be meaningless in this apparent no-asset case. [
it is only "apparent" to this judge, that Casey has "no assets" -- everyone else knows she is waiting to make millions -- and has already come up with $ 25,000 to pay the Trustee for rights to her story - and has already come up with money to settle with TexasEquuSearch]
In this ruling, this bankruptcy judge is all too willing to accept everything Casey's attorneys say, and disbelieve what Zenaida and Kronk's attorneys say.
When the judge read both sides -- he favors Casey's side.
Page 2 The bankruptcy judge Incorrectly states in his Opinion, that Kronk was defamed by
in-court statements by debtors counsel during her murder trial [
the judge disregarded Kronk's filed docs stating that the defamatory statements were made OUTSIDE of Court and on worldwide TV]
This Judge belittles Kronk's case and says that Kronks case was only in the beginning stages, and no progress has occurred in his case; a trial date never set; no discovery taken place; and Casey says she was not properly served [
this judge ignores the FACT that Kronk filed documents stating that Casey was PROPERLY served via Secretary of State].

this bankruptcy judge belittles Zenaida's case and says Zenaida defamation case had moved through Discovery and Summary Judgment, with a single allegation of defamation remaining for trial, and trial was originally set for January 2, 2013, but Zenaida asked to postpone the trial, over Caseys objections [
not true - both sides agreed to postponement until after Casey's Appeal was completed], but no trial re-set date was made.
The judge gave Zenaida and Kronk more time to file their new Adversary Proceeding Complaints, but he has already clearly stated his negative opinions of their cases.
