06/30/11 Ristow Et Al V. Great Lakes Educational Loan Services, Inc. Et Al (4:10-ap-01141-EWH) 06/30/11

Memorandum Decision

Judge Eileen W. Hollowell (retired)
11/07/12 Reid Park Properties LLC (4:11-bk-15267-EWH) 11/07/12

Holding: Chapter 11 provides a business debtor with the opportunity to restructure its debt and hopefully maintain employment opportunities for its workers.17 The Code provides powerful tools to assist a debtor’s reorganization efforts, including the right to extend loan terms, change interest rates, and rewrite or eliminate loan covenants. But to successfully exercise those rights, a debtor must assure that the risk of reorganization is borne fairly by all of the parties in the case. Debtor has failed to do so, and therefore, the Plan can not be confirmed.

Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law

Judge Eileen W. Hollowell (retired)
07/13/12 Sunset Professional Park,LLC (4:09-bk-32194-EWH) 07/13/12

Holding: The Debtor's counsel's application and Debtor's special counsel's application for fees comply with the law, both the Code and the Ninth Circuit conventions for evaluating fee applications. Meanwhile, the Objections filed by Debtor's principal failed to explain with specificity why the Court should reach any other conclusion. Accordingly, a separate Order that will be entered on the same day as this Memorandum Decision, granting both applications in full.
