MEMORANDUM When it filed the Claim, Masterpiece attached extensive account information and individual invoices supporting the $22,418.68 it alleged was due. In seeking to reduce the Claim, the Objection incorporates the Declaration of David Robson. In his Affidavit, Mr. Robson asserts only that the Debtors books and records support the reduction sought in the Objection. Neither the Affidavit nor the Objection identifies the basis for the alleged reduction of Masterpieces Claim. documentation supporting the alleged deductions is included with the Objection. Based upon its own review of the Claim and the lack of any documentation supporting the Objection, the Claimants assert that the Objection is factually inaccurate. The Claimant has submitted specific invoices and has in its possession substantial documentary evidence from its own books and records supporting the $22,418.68 Claim amount as filed. In contrast, the Debtor has failed to satisfy its burden of persuasion in support of the Objection. WHEREFORE, based upon the foregoing, the Claimants request that the Court enter an order overruling the Objection, or, in the alternative, setting a schedule for discovery and an evidentiary hearing on this matter.
