`
`MOTION OF IRON MOUNTAIN TRAP ROCK
`COMPANY TO CONFIRM AUTOMATIC STAY DOES NOT
`APPLY TO NONDEBTOR PROPERTY, OR, IN THE ALTERNATIVE,
`FOR RELIEF FROM, OR ANNULMENT OF, THE AUTOMATIC STAY
`
`Iron Mountain Trap Rock Company (“IMTR”), a creditor and party-in-interest in the above
`
`bankruptcy case, moves the Court under sections 105 and 362 of title 11 of the United States Code
`
`(the “Bankruptcy Code”) and F.R.B.P. 4001 and 9014 for the entry of an order confirming that the
`
`automatic stay does not apply to property in which Debtor Superior Silica Sands LLC (“SSS”) has
`
`never held any legal or equitable interest, and as to which SSS holds no good-faith or colorable
`
`possessory interest. In the alternative, IMTR requests an order modifying or annulling the
`
`automatic stay of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code to permit IMTR to recover its property
`
`that SSS has, without any right or cause, improperly barred IMTR from accessing, using or
`
`recovering. In support, IMTR states as follows:
`
`JURISDICTION AND STATUTORY PREDICATES
`
`1.
`
`Debtor SSS and the other Debtors are debtors under the provisions of chapter 11 of
`
`the Bankruptcy Code, having filed voluntary petitions on July 15, 2019 (the “Petition Date”) with
`
`
`1 The Debtors in these cases, along with the last four digits of each Debtor’s federal tax identification number, are:
`Emerge Energy Services LP (2937), Emerge Energy Services GP LLC (4683), Emerge Energy Services Operating
`LLC (2511), Superior Silica Sands LLC (9889), and Emerge Energy Services Finance Corporation (9875). The
`Debtors’ address is 5600 Clearfork Main Street, Suite 400, Fort Worth, Texas 76109.

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”). Debtors’ cases
`
`have been procedurally consolidated and jointly administered under the case of Emerge Energy
`
`Services LP, Case No. 19-11563 [Docket No. 54].
`
`2.
`
`This Court has jurisdiction of the parties and the subject matter of this motion under
`
`11 U.S.C. Section 101, et. seq., 28 U.S.C. Section 157(b)(2)(A) and (G). Venue over this matter
`
`is appropriate under 28 U.S.C. Sections 1408 and 1409. The relief sought is appropriate under
`
`sections 105 and 362(d)(1) - (2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
`
`PERTINENT FACTS
`
`3.
`
`IMTR brings this motion because SSS has taken postpetition action to bar and
`
`preclude IMTR from recovering personal property – property as to which SSS has never had any
`
`legal, equitable or possessory interest, either prior to or after the Petition Date. Without any right
`
`or good-faith claim to the subject property, SSS has locked IMTR’s property behind a gate and is
`
`refusing to allow IMTR access to its own property. Adding to the unauthorized nature of SSS’s
`
`acts, SSS is acting contrary to an Order of this Court – an Order that SSS itself requested and
`
`obtained that authorized SSS to abandon SSS’s own property at the subject location. Because SSS
`
`now refuses to acknowledge IMTR as the owner of IMTR’s own property (not to mention the
`
`property SSS abandoned) and has taken control of the property without any right or permission
`
`whatsoever, IMTR is now forced to seek relief from this Court.
`
`4.
`
`Among other things, IMTR provides services that consist in part of stripping,
`
`drilling, shooting and mining sand and wet plant processing of silica sand.
`
`5.
`
`IMTR (through its predecessor Fred Weber, Inc.) and SSS entered into a Wet Sand
`
`Services Agreement dated April 7, 2011, which was followed by four amendments (collectively,
`
`the “Agreement”; a copy of the Wet Sands Services Agreement and the four amendments
`
`(“Amendments”) are attached as Exhibit A). Under the Agreement, IMTR agreed to provide its
`
`{00026385. }
`

`
`

`

`Case 19-11563-KBO Doc 349 Filed 09/10/19 Page 3 of 12
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`mining services to SSS at a quarry site located in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin (the “Quarry Site”).
`
`SSS does not own the Quarry Site but rather leases it from various owners under certain lease and
`
`royalty agreements.
`
`6.
`
`Under the specific terms of the Agreement, IMTR was required to build, at its own
`
`expense, a fixed wash plant (the “Wash Plant”) and deliver to the Quarry Site all parts and
`
`equipment necessary to produce the sand contemplated by the Agreement (the “Contractor
`
`Equipment”), as well as other rolling stock and non-permanent equipment (the “Non-Permanent
`
`Contractor Equipment”).
`
`7.
`
`Also under the Agreement, SSS was required to deliver the equipment listed on
`
`Exhibit D of the Agreement (the “SSS Equipment”) to the Quarry Site, “and transfer title to the
`
`SSS Equipment to [IMTR], free and clear of all liens.” See Agreement, Article 1.1(h). The Wash
`
`Plant, the Contractor Equipment and the SSS Equipment are referred to as the “Plant and
`
`Equipment.”
`
`8.
`
`The Agreement specifically contemplated the status of title to the Plant and
`
`Equipment during the Term (as defined in the Agreement). SSS agreed that during the Term
`
`(including the extensions as provided under the Amendments), “the Plant and Equipment and all
`
`other materials, temporary buildings and other items placed or installed upon the Quarry Site by
`
`[IMTR] (i) are, and will at all times remain, the property of [IMTR], and, (ii) upon a termination
`
`of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof, may be removed from the Quarry Site by
`
`[IMTR] within one hundred twenty (120) days after the termination date…” (emphasis added).
`
`This provision is subject to SSS’s right to acquire certain property (the “Handover Assets”) for a
`
`stipulated price if the Agreement terminates for certain limited reasons, primarily, the natural
`
`conclusion of the full duration of the Term (Article 1.4(a)(i)), or the early termination of the
`
`{00026385. }
`
`3
`
`

`

`Case 19-11563-KBO Doc 349 Filed 09/10/19 Page 4 of 12
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Agreement due to a default by IMTR (Article 1.4(a)(ii)). Neither of these conditions occurred and
`
`are not applicable here. As explained further below, SSS rejected the Agreement and the Court
`
`approved the rejection, resulting in a breach by SSS of the Agreement. SSS has never asserted any
`
`breach by IMTR under the Agreement.
`
`9.
`
`SSS further specifically agreed that other than as set forth in Section 1.4 of the
`
`Agreement, “SSS has no right, title, or interest in or to the Plant and Equipment or any other
`
`materials, temporary buildings and other items placed or installed upon the Quarry Site by
`
`[IMTR].” See Agreement, Article 1.3(b) (emphasis added). As noted above, conditions for the
`
`exceptions under Article 1.4 for SSS to acquire any interest in the Handover Assets never arose.
`
`Therefore, at all times relevant here, all right, title and interest in the Plant and Equipment and
`
`other property described in Article 1.3(b) has resided, and continues to reside, exclusively with
`
`IMTR.
`
`10.
`
`The Agreement further confirms IMTR’s right, title and interest in the Plant,
`
`Equipment and related property if and when the Agreement terminates. Section 1.4 of the
`
`Agreement governed the title to the Plant and Equipment upon expiration of the Term under
`
`various circumstances. Though the Term has not expired, and IMTR has not terminated the
`
`Agreement notwithstanding SSS’s breach, the subsection that would apply here upon IMTR’s
`
`termination of the Agreement is subsection 1.4(a)(iii):
`
`To the extent that the Term has ended early as a result of a termination by [IMTR]
`following SSS’s default under Section 11.12, [IMTR] shall have the right (but not the
`obligation) to require that SSS acquire the Handover Assets for the Buy Out Price and
`
`
`2 Section 11.1 of the Agreement applies when SSS defaults in payment, performance or observance of any material
`covenant, agreement, term or provision of the Agreement (Section 11.1(a)), or SSS institutes bankruptcy proceedings
`that are not dismissed within 60 days (Section 11.1(b)). Regardless of the enforceability of the bankruptcy default
`provision, SSS defaulted in payment obligations under the Agreement beginning in December 6, 2018, and as of the
`Petition Date, SSS owed IMTR $1,179,507. Moreover, SSS’s rejection, as approved by this Court, resulted in SSS’s
`default under the Agreement.

`

`Case 19-11563-KBO Doc 349 Filed 09/10/19 Page 5 of 12
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[IMTR] shall undertake such transfer.
`
`(emphasis added)
`
`11.
`
`Consistent with the terms of the Agreement and with its ownership of the Plant,
`
`Equipment and other property at the Quarry Site, IMTR pays all taxes, costs and maintenance
`
`related to this property, submits annual personal property tax declarations to the local assessor’s
`
`office, and pays all insurance related to the Plant. SSS has never paid any such amounts related to
`
`the Plant, Equipment or other property of IMTR. In addition, IMTR obtained and maintained all
`
`spare parts for use in connection with the Plant while it was operating. In short, SSS has never
`
`demonstrated any claim or incident of ownership with respect to the Plant or any other equipment
`
`at the Quarry Site.
`
`12.
`
`IMTR also has the right to access the Quarry Site. Under the Agreement, SSS
`
`granted to IMTR, its subcontractors and their respective personnel “an exclusive, unrestricted
`
`license for ingress and egress to the Quarry Site and across the Quarry Site to the Plant Site and
`
`any other areas of the Quarry Site where the Plant and Equipment or other materials, temporary
`
`buildings or other items are located…” See Agreement, Article 2.2. This license exists during the
`
`Term of the Agreement. The Term of the Agreement remains in effect; IMTR has not terminated
`
`the Agreement, notwithstanding SSS’s breach of the Agreement. Consequently, IMTR continues
`
`to have the right for unrestricted ingress and egress to the Quarry Site. (The Agreement makes
`
`such rights subject to any terms or conditions of SSS’s leases with the landlords for the subject
`
`Quarry Site; however, no terms or conditions of the leases (which may have been rejected by SSS)
`
`prohibit the license that IMTR continues to hold, nor did the license terminate upon SSS’s rejection
`
`of the Agreement.)
`
`13.
`
`Consequently, all right, title and interest in the Plant and Equipment has remained
`
`with IMTR, and all such right, title and interest remains vested solely in IMTR today. The

`Case 19-11563-KBO Doc 349 Filed 09/10/19 Page 6 of 12
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Agreement does not accord SSS any right to obtain any interest in the Plant, Equipment or any
`
`other assets of IMTR under the circumstances that existed as of the Petition Date or currently, nor
`
`does it allow SSS the right to prevent IMTR from recovering this property.
`
`14.
`
`Further underscoring SSS’s lack of any interest in IMTR’s Plant and Equipment is
`
`the Order of this Court approving SSS’s rejection of the Agreement. At the inception of these
`
`cases, Debtors requested and obtained from this Court authority to reject the Agreement and
`
`abandon all associated assets of SSS at the Quarry Site. See Debtors’ First Omnibus Motion for
`
`Entry of an Order Authorizing the Debtors to (I) Reject Certain Executory Contracts and
`
`Unexpired Leases Nunc Pro Tunc to the Petition Date and (II) Abandon Any Remaining Personal
`
`Property in Connection Therewith [Docket No. 10] (the “Rejection Motion”). Notably, in the
`
`Rejection Motion SSS stated that the “Debtors have determined in their reasonable business
`
`judgment that the costs associated with the continued storage of certain inventory and personal
`
`property or other remaining assets, which might include silica sand … located or stored at the
`
`surrendered storage, transloading, and terminal facilities or rail cars will exceed any projected
`
`proceeds that could be realized from the sale thereof, or may have low prospects for resale.” See
`
`Rejection Motion ¶ 8 (emphasis added).
`
`15.
`
`Debtors specifically included the Agreement and all Amendments on Exhibit 1 to
`
`the Rejection Motion and described various “Mining and Processing Agreements” in the motion
`
`itself. Debtors did not seek to exclude any “personal property or remaining assets” from the
`
`definition of “Abandoned Property” in the Rejection Motion or Rejection Order. See Order
`
`Authorizing the Debtors to (I) Reject Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Nunc
`
`Pro Tunc to the Petition Date and (II) Abandon Any Remaining Personal Property in Connection
`
`Therewith. [Docket No. 207] (the “Rejection Order”). The Rejection Order therefore authorized
`
`{00026385. }
`

`
`

`

`Case 19-11563-KBO Doc 349 Filed 09/10/19 Page 7 of 12
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`SSS to abandon the inventory, personal property and other remaining assets (including silica sand),
`
`located or stored at the Quarry Site. See Rejection Order, ¶ 8. To the extent that Debtors ever had
`
`any claim to IMTR’s Plant, Equipment or other property (which Debtors did not), Debtors have
`
`abandoned all such property by virtue of the Rejection Order. Moreover, SSS not only had no
`
`interest in IMTR’s property at the Quarry Site, but SSS abandoned its own property at the Quarry
`
`Site. SSS has no basis to exclude IMTR from recovering any property from the Quarry Site.
`
`16.
`
`Notwithstanding SSS’s lack of interest in any assets at the Quarry Site, and in direct
`
`contravention of the Court’s Rejection Order, SSS is now actively barricading both its abandoned
`
`assets and IMTR’s Plant behind lock and key, thereby prohibiting IMTR from retrieving its own
`
`Plant and associated property from the site.
`
`17.
`
`In particular regarding SSS’s seizure of IMTR’s Plant, after the Petition Date, SSS
`
`unilaterally locked IMTR out of the Quarry Site and has physically prohibited IMTR from
`
`retrieving IMTR’s property, primarily the Plant, from the Quarry Site, including not only locking
`
`the sole access gate but blocking all access with vehicles and other items. SSS has done this even
`
`though IMTR maintained the Quarry Site, the Plant, Equipment and all other property at the site
`
`since the inception of the project in 2011. As noted, IMTR pays all costs, insurance, maintenance
`
`and taxes related to the Plant, Equipment and other property at the site. IMTR ran all operations
`
`at the site, and even the silica sand (in which SSS actually did have an interest) would be hauled
`
`by third-party movers, not by SSS itself. SSS itself never exhibited any presence or control over
`
`the site, other than occasional efforts to control stormwater runoff, which SSS was required to do
`
`{00026385. }
`

`
`

`

`Case 19-11563-KBO Doc 349 Filed 09/10/19 Page 8 of 12
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`under its applicable mining permit.3 But as to the Plant and Equipment itself, SSS had no
`
`possession or control at any time, prior to or after the Petition Date.
`
`18.
`
`IMTR has informed SSS that IMTR seeks only to recover IMTR’s property from
`
`the site – primarily the Plant. But SSS, without explanation or basis, continues to refuse to allow
`
`IMTR any access to IMTR’s Plant and maintains its blockade against IMTR.
`
`RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`19.
`
`Because SSS continues to deprive IMTR of possession of IMTR’s Plant, IMTR has
`
`been forced to bring this Motion, seeking an order from this Court directing SSS to cease and
`
`desist from restraining IMTR from recovering its own property. In the alternative, to the extent
`
`SSS asserts some possessory interest in IMTR’s Plant, however improper such possessory interest
`
`would be, IMTR seeks relief from, or annulment of, the automatic stay to recover the Plant.
`
`20.
`
`Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code provides for an automatic stay applicable to
`
`all entities against “any act to obtain possession of property of the estate or of property from the
`
`estate or to exercise control over property of the estate.” 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)(3). The Bankruptcy
`
`Code defines “property of the estate” as “all legal or equitable interest of the debtor in property as
`
`of the commencement of the case.” 11 U.S.C. § 541(a)(1); see In re Majestic Star Casino, LLC
`
`716 F.3d 736, 759 (3d Cir. 2016) (noting that such interest must be an interest “of the debtor”).
`
`The Third Circuit has noted that the legislative history of section 541 demonstrates that this section
`
`was “not intended to expand debtor’s rights against others more than they exist at the
`
`commencement of the case.” Id.
`
`
`3 Upon information and belief, the county has revoked SSS’s mining permit for the Quarry Site because SSS failed to
`post the required supplemental reclamation bond and/or provide sufficient management of stormwater runoff.
`
`{00026385. }

`

`

`Case 19-11563-KBO Doc 349 Filed 09/10/19 Page 9 of 12
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`21.
`
`Section 362(d)(1)-(2) of the Bankruptcy Code requires the Bankruptcy Court to
`
`modify the automatic stay for “cause,” including lack of adequate protection and a debtor’s lack
`
`of equity in the property. Section 362(d)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that the if the
`
`bankruptcy estate has no equity in an asset and the asset is not necessary for a debtor’s
`
`reorganization, then relief from the automatic stay should be granted.
`
`22.
`
`Here, as set forth above, Debtors’ bankruptcy estates have no equity in the Plant
`
`and Equipment, and SSS has rejected the Agreement and abandoned all personal property at the
`
`Quarry Site. Moreover, the Plant and Equipment are not necessary to an effective reorganization
`
`because SSS and the other Debtors have no interest whatsoever in them. As a result, the automatic
`
`stay of section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code should be modified or annulled under section
`
`362(d)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code to permit IMTR to exercise its rights, remedies, and privileges
`
`with respect to the Plant and Equipment.
`
`23.
`
`To the extent SSS tries to avoid this necessary relief by claiming that SSS has a
`
`possessory interest in the Plant, Equipment or other assets of IMTR, SSS is mistaken. At no time,
`
`before or after the Petition Date, has SSS had any right to hold, control or possess this property.
`
`The Agreement is clear on this point, not to mention the express vesting of title to this property
`
`exclusively in IMTR.
`
`24.
`
`SSS, however, may try to claim that it has some possessory interest in IMTR’s Plant
`
`or other property sufficient to invoke the automatic stay. See In re Atlantic Business and
`
`Community Corp., 901 F.2d 325, 328 (3d Cir. 1990) (holding that a possessory interest in real
`
`property is property of the estate under section 541 and that the automatic stay protects such an
`
`interest in real property). A debtor’s possessory interest protected under the Atlantic Business case
`
`and its progeny, however, is a possessory interest in real property. See In re Majestic Star Casino,
`
`{00026385. }

`

`Case 19-11563-KBO Doc 349 Filed 09/10/19 Page 10 of 12
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`LLC, 716 F.3d 736, 762 (3d Cir. 2013) (“First, the holding in Atlantic Business & Community
`
`Corp. was, by its own terms, limited to possessory interests in real property.”). Moreover, the
`
`Third Circuit has clarified that the Atlantic Business case “does not support the broad principle
`
`that any interest that ‘benefits’ the debtor or that ‘the corporation possesses and enjoys’… is
`
`necessarily property of the estate rather than property of a non-debtor.” Id. And for any possessory
`
`interest to apply in the first place, the debtor must have possession of the subject property with
`
`permission from the property’s owner. Atlantic Business, 901 F.2d at 328 (“the debtor was
`
`effectively in possession of the radio station and transmitter with [owner’s] permission, and
`
`therefore had an interest in property protected by section 362(a)(3).”); cf. In re Atlantic Medical
`
`Management Services, Inc., 387 B.R. 654 (Bankr. E.D.Pa. 2008) (applying the Atlantic Business
`
`holding to personal property owned by non-debtor but which debtor initially purchased for use by
`
`the owner).
`
`25.
`
`If, however, a debtor asserts a possessory interest without any colorable legal
`
`claim to the property, any such possessory interest is not protected by the automatic stay. See In
`
`re Flabeg Solar US Corp., 499 B.R. 475, 482 (Bankr. W.D.Pa. 2013) (“a debtor’s interest in
`
`property, which was akin to a squatter’s, was insufficient to invoke the protection of the automatic
`
`stay.”); In re St. Clair, 251 B.R. 660, 666 (D.N.J. 2000) (“Therefore, we hold that ‘property of the
`
`estate’ encompasses property in the possession or control of the trustee or the debtor-in-possession,
`
`but only to the extent the trustee or debtor-in-possession has a good-faith, colorable claim to
`
`possession or control of the property.”); see also In re Perl, 811 F.3d 1120, 1130 (9th Cir. 2016)
`
`(automatic stay does not apply to a debtor’s unlawful possession of property in which debtor had
`
`no legal or equitable interest).

`
`SSS does not, and has never had, any good-faith, colorable interest in the Plant or
`
`Equipment, nor has SSS had any right to possession or control of the Plant and Equipment. Without
`
`any legal, equitable or good-faith possessory interest in the Plant, Equipment or other property at
`
`the Quarry Site, the automatic stay has no application to such property. IMTR should be granted
`
`unfettered access to its Plant and associated property and the right to recover it from the Quarry
`
`Site, without interference from SSS. In the alternative, the automatic stay should be annulled and
`
`IMTR should be granted the requested access to the Plant and be allowed to remove the Plant.
`
`WHEREFORE, IMTR respectfully requests that this Court enter an order, substantially
`
`in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, granting this Motion and confirming that the automatic
`
`stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code does not apply to the Plant, Equipment, Handover
`
`Assets or any other personal property located at the Quarry Site, and directing SSS and the other
`
`Debtors to cease and desist from interfering with IMTR’s efforts to retrieve the Plant and
`
`associated property from the Quarry Site; or, in the alternative, enter an order granting relief from
`
`the stay, or annulling the automatic stay, as of the Petition Date and directing SSS and the other
`
`Debtors to cease and desist from interfering with IMTR’s efforts to retrieve the Plant and
`
`associated property from the Quarry Site; and grant such other and further relief as the Court deems
`
`just and proper.
