JURISDICTION AND VENUE

This Court has jurisdiction over this adversary proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

151, 157 and 1334 as this is a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. 157(b)(2)(A), (H) and (O) and to the extent any related claims are determined not to be a core proceeding, the Plaintiff consents to an entry of final judgment and orders by the Bankruptcy Court. Venue is proper in this District under 28 U.S.C. 1409(a), as this adversary proceeding arises under title 11 or arises in or relates to a case under title 11 which is pending in this District in that this proceeding arises in and is related to the Debtors bankruptcy case, which was commenced through the filing of a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on June 25, 2011 (the Petition Date) pending in the Central District of California, Los Angeles Division as In re Computer Czech, LLC, Case No. . 2:10-bk-37453-BR. 2.

544, 548, and 550. 4. To the extent that the Plaintiff asserts claims under 11 U.S.C. 544, the Plaintiff is

informed and believes and based thereon alleges that there exists in this case one or more creditors holding unsecured claims allowable under 11 U.S.C. 502 or are not allowable under 11 U.S.C. 502(e), who can avoid the respective transfers as set forth below under California or other applicable law.

California Corporation with its principal place of business in Los Angeles California. 7. Plaintiff is informed and believes that Defendant Jirka Ambroz (Ambroz) is an

the Debtor and Abacus and Ambroz, such that the separateness of these Defendants from the Debtor never existed. Plaintiff is further informed and believes and based thereon alleges that the Debtor failed to adhere to corporate formalities and that its corporate form should be ignored. 9. Adherence to the fiction of the separate existence of the individually named

defendant Ambroz as entities distinct from the Debtor and Abacus would permit an abuse of the corporate privilege and would sanction fraud and promote injustice. III. 10. GENERAL ALLEGATIONS

approximately one month prior to the Petition Date. 11. Plaintiff is informed and believes that Abacus and Ambroz has taken over the

INSTRUCTIONS
The filing of a bankruptcy case creates an "estate" under the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court which consists of all of the property of the debtor, wherever that property is located. Because the bankruptcy estate is so extensive and the jurisdiction of the court so broad, there may be lawsuits over the property or property rights of the estate. There also may be lawsuits concerning the debtors discharge. If such a lawsuit is filed in a bankruptcy court, it is called an adversary proceeding. A party filing an adversary proceeding must also must complete and file Form 104, the Adversary Proceeding Cover Sheet, unless the party files the adversary proceeding electronically through the courts Case Management/Electronic Case Filing system (CM/ECF). (CM/ECF captures the information on Form 104 as part of the filing process.) When completed, the cover sheet summarizes basic information on the adversary proceeding. The clerk of court needs the information to process the adversary proceeding and prepare required statistical reports on court activity. The cover sheet and the information contained on it do not replace or supplement the filing and service of pleadings or other papers as required by law, the Bankruptcy Rules, or the local rules of court. The cover sheet, which is largely selfexplanatory, must be completed by the plaintiffs attorney (or by the plaintiff if the plaintiff is not represented by an attorney). A separate cover sheet must be submitted to the clerk for each complaint filed. Plaintiffs and Defendents. Give the names of the plaintiffs and defendants exactly as they appear on the complaint. Attorneys. Give the names and addresses of the attorneys, if known. Party. Check the most appropriate box in the first column for the plaintiffs and the second column for the defendants. Demand. Enter the dollar amount being demanded in the complaint. Signature. This cover sheet must be signed by the attorney of record in the box on the second page of the form. If the plaintiff is represented by a law firm, a member of the firm must sign. If the plaintiff is pro se, that is, not presented by an attorney, the plaintiff must sign.
