Acosta Bankruptcy Halts Property Auction
Posted on 02/28/2014 Written by RICK HERRICK
Big Bear City, CA 2/28/2014 6:30 pm - According to owner of A.J. Acosta Tree Service, Andy Acosta today filed personal and business bankruptcy in federal court. This has resulted in halting the auction of his property on North Shore for now, which was scheduled to begin Saturday March 1, 2014. According to Mr. Acosta, federal bankruptcy was necessary as application of the state law in this matter was not properly applied by the state judge overseeing this matter. The organizers of the auction believe that the filing of the bankruptcy will only delay the sale of the property but in the end a sale will take place. . . . READ MORE

Cohn told Ziprick he had not brought forth any new facts or law in the case to persuade him to reverse his order.
Cohn’s decision came as no surprise to Acosta.

By Joe Nelson, The Sun
"BIG BEAR LAKE >> For more than 30 years, Andy Acosta has been a pillar of this mountain resort community.
With the resources provided by his 34-year-old business, A.J. Acosta Co., Acosta has hoisted cars out of steep canyons and ravines, cleared snow and debris from highways and roads, cleared trees for ski runs at Snow Summit Ski Resort, and sold firewood to keep local residents warm.
But now, Acosta’s business is imperiled. He stands to lose it all after a San Bernardino Superior Court judge ordered a receiver take possession of Acosta’s equipment storage yard at 1000 North Shore Drive and sell all his property at auction on March 1, the proceeds of which will go toward bringing Acosta’s property into compliance with county codes.
“They are killing this company. If they sell my property at auction, my company is done,” Acosta, 50, said Thursday outside the storage yard, which he has been banned from by order of the court.. . . READ MORE

"Andy Acosta has been locked out of his property on North Shore Drive. A judge named a receiver and approved all personal property on the site to be sold at auction.
Acosta, who owns and operates A.J. Acosta Company Inc., a firewood and tree service company in Big Bear Lake, has been battling with San Bernardino County regarding the North Shore Drive site for 20 years. “I’m not going to give up the fight,” Acosta says.
On Jan. 24, Judge David Cohn signed an order approving the receiver’s proposed rehabilitation plan and cost estimate for the site, and allowed the receiver to begin the sale of personal property on the site to pay for the rehabilitation costs. The original order was issued in February 2012, followed by a judgement and order in May 2012 and more legal stipulations in October 2013.
The most recent order allows for the court-appointed receiver, Eric P. Beatty of S-B Asset Partners LP, to take possession of the property and each item of personal property on the North Shore site. The items include, but aren’t limited to, vehicles, heavy equipment, roll-offs, trailers, construction equipment and more. . . . READ MORE
