3G PROPERTIES: Plan Exclusivity Expires Sept. 16
------------------------------------------------
After failing to obtain approval of its Chapter 11 plan in July,
3G Properties, LLC, will see its exclusive period to solicit
acceptances for a Chapter 11 plan expire on Sept. 16, 2011.

Judge J. Rich Leonard of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina on July 28, 2011, granted the Debtor a
60-day extension, or until Sept. 16, of the exclusive period.

The Debtor has already presented to the court a proposed plan but
the plan was denied.

On July 12, 2011, the bankruptcy judge denied confirmation of the
Chapter 11 Plan, filed on Dec. 13, 2010, on the basis that "the
court does not foresee any change in the Debtor's circumstances
that would allow it to propose a plan to cure the defects
identified."

With the denial of the Plan, the bankruptcy court approved Capital
Bank's motion for the lifting of the stay so that it can pursue
its remedies with respect to its collateral.  The Court also
reconsidered its earlier denial of Southern Community Bank's
motion for relief from stay, dated Nov. 5, 2010, and allowed that
motion.

On July 26, 2011, the Debtor asked the Court to reconsider its
July 12, 2011 order as it pertains to the motion for relief from
automatic stay filed by Capital Bank.  According to the Debtor,
the Court made the determination despite not having heard any
argument or presentation from it regarding its intent or ability
to propose a revised plan of reorganization, following the
granting of relief from automatic stay to Southern Community Bank.

Judge Leonard has approved a stipulation between the Debtor and
Capital Bank extending the deadline by 60 days, or up to October
13, 2011, for Capital Bank to file any response to the Debtor's
motion for reconsideration on the denial of its reorganization
plan.  Judge Leonard also ordered that the hearing will not be
scheduled before Capital Bank can file any response to the motion
for reconsideration.

                       About 3 G Properties

Wake Forest, North Carolina-based 3 G Properties, LLC, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. E.D.N.C. Case No. 10-04763) on
June 14, 2010.  3 G Properties is a North Carolina limited
liability company formed as a result of the statutory merger of
three existing North Carolina limited liability companies: (1)
Lake Glad Road Partners, LLC, (2) Lake Glad Road Commercial, LLC,
and (3) Granville Park Partners, LLC.  The Debtor principally
operates two real estate projects located primarily in Granville
County, North Carolina: Triangle North Development and Highland
Trails Development.

Gregory B. Crampton, Esq., and Kevin L. Sink, Esq., at Nicholls &
Crampton, P.A., in Raleigh, N.C., represent the Debtor in its
restructuring effort.  The Company estimated its assets and debts
at $10 million to $50 million as of the Petition Date.


12 BYFIELD: Closing Date of Exit Loan Extended Until Tomorrow
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert D. Drain of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern
District of New York has approved a motion of 12 Byfield LLC,
enforcing and aiding in consummation of the Debtor's chapter 11
plan, for an extension of the closing date to Sept. 9, 2011, of
the  $3 million exit financing from TDC Secured Strategies Fund,
LLC.

The judge overruled an objection of Customers USA Bank that the
motion is unnecessary.

Judge Drain ruled that Customers USA Bank and its successors and
assignees are bound by the terms of the Mortgage Subordination
Agreement.  Until a final resolution of the Allowed Secured Claim
of Customers USA Bank, the Debtor will pay 6% interest per annum
based on (a) the asserted $4,800,000 face amount of the loan to
Customers USA Bank on a monthly basis in accordance with the terms
of the Plan and (b) the difference between the face amount and the
amount of $5,735,197, the interest on the difference to be paid
into an interest bearing escrow account maintained by the Debtor's
counsel, Foley & Lardner LLP.  The escrow amount will be disbursed
upon a further order of the Court.

Any overpayments of interest received by Customers USA Bank will
be deemed prepayments on the allowed amount of the Claim and, in
the event that the amount exceeds the allowed amount of the Claim,
will be subject to disgorgement by Customers USA Bank.

AES THAMES: Hearing on Exclusivity Extension Set for Sept. 22
-------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware will
convene a hearing on Sept. 22, 2011, at 11:00 a.m., to consider
AES Thames, L.L.C.'s request to extend its exclusive periods to
file and solicit acceptances for the proposed chapter 11 plan.
Objections were due July 19.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 9, 2011, the
Debtor is asking the Court to extend its exclusive periods to file
and solicit acceptances for the proposed chapter 11 plan until
Sept. 29, 2011, and Nov. 28, 2011, respectively.

The Debtor filed its request for an extension before the exclusive
plan proposal period was set to expire on June 1.

The Debtor related that it needs more time to address certain
matters relating to the bankruptcy filing, the use of assets that
may constitute cash collateral and various other operational
matters.  The Debtor has also been working with Connecticut Power
& Light, Smurfit Stone- Container Corporation and other parties
regarding its key contracts.

                        About AES Thames

Uncasville, Connecticut-based AES Thames, L.L.C., owns and
operates a coal-fired power plant located in Montville,
Connecticut.  The facility generates and sells electricity to
Connecticut Light and Power Company.  It also supplies processed
steam to a recycled paperboard mill owned by Smurfit-Stone
Container Corp.  AES Thames is a unit of AES Corp., the Arlington,
Virginia-based power producer with operations in 29 countries.

AES Thames filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D.
Del. Case No. 11-10334) on Feb. 1, 2011.  The increased cost of
energy production and the "uneconomic and onerous provisions" of a
steam sale agreement with Smurfit-Stone's predecessor led AES
Thames to seek bankruptcy protection.

Adam G. Landis, Esq., and Kerri K. Mumford, Esq., at Landis Rath &
Cobb LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, serve as the Debtor's
bankruptcy counsel.

The Debtor tapped Murtha Cullina LLP as its special counsel;
Charles River Associates as its regulatory consultant, and
Houlihan Lockey Capital, Inc., as financial advisor and investment
banker.

According to court filings, based on the balance sheet as of
Dec. 1, 2010, total assets were $162 million, and the Debtor has
$52 million in short term liabilities and $122.6 million in long
term debt.  The TCR reported on March 30, 2011, that the Debtor
disclosed $156,747,507 in assets and $5,929,775 in liabilities.

On Feb. 15, 2011, the U.S. Trustee appointed an official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors in the Debtor's case.  The Committee tapped
FTI Consulting Inc. as its restructuring and financial advisor,
and Blank Rome LLP as its counsel.


AGE REFINING: Committee Retains Integra Realty as Appraiser
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Age Refining,
Inc. seeks to retain Integra Realty Resources - San Antonio as its
appraiser, valuation consultant, and expert.

Chase Capital Corporation filed a proof of claim, dated March 11,
2010, asserting a $40,212,084 claim for money loaned, as a secured
claim with any unsecured amount indicated as "unknown."  The
outstanding balance owed on the Chase Claim on the Petition Date
consisted of $30,062,495 on the first lien prepetition claim and
$10,149,589 consisting of the second lien prepetition claim.

After the Refinery Sale, Chase Capital was paid $36,000,000,
applied against the Chase Claim, resulting in a net remaining
balance on the claim of $4,212,084, plus any interest, cost, fees
or expenses to the extent authorized under Sections 506(a) and (b)
of the Bankruptcy Code, up to the value of the collateral securing
the prepetition liens of Chase Capital.

Included within the assets made part of the Refinery Sale and sold
to NuStar were certain assets that were not subject to the Chase
Claim -- Unencumbered Assets.  These Unencumbered Assets include
the Elmendorff Tank Farm, the rolling stock of AGE, and real
property adjacent to the refinery.

Chase Capital has filed a motion to compel payment of principal,
interest, and other charges pursuant to Sections 506(a) and (b).
The Creditors' Committee has filed an application to value the
secured claim of Chase Capital.  Both parties seek a determination
of the value of the secured claim under Section 506.  Intrinsic
within both motions is the value of collateral sold to NuStar as
part of the Refinery Sale.  According to the Creditors Committee,
the Refinery Sale process did not provide an allocation of the
sale proceeds or provide a specific purchase price for any of the
Unencumbered Assets.

In connection with its efforts to ascertain the fair market value
of the Unencumbered Assets, the Creditors Committee requires
appraisal and valuation consulting services, including related
expert testimony.  The testimony is critical in light of the Chase
Motion to Compel and the Committee Valuation Motion to ascertain
the value of the Chase Secured Claim and the Unencumbered Assets
which raises issues of the value of assets sold within the
Refinery Sale, the Creditors Committee relates.

The Integra Valuation Services Appraisal Agreement with the
Creditors' Committee also provides for testimony and expert
witness services in connection with Integra Realty's appraisals,
at a rate of $350 per hour, in addition to reimbursement of
Integra Realty's actual, out-of-pocket expenses.

The Creditors' Committee believes that Integra Realty does not
hold or represent any interest adverse to the Estate and that it
is a disinterested person as the term is defined in Section
101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

                        About Age Refining

Age Refining, Inc. owns a refinery in San Antonio, Texas.  It
manufactures, refines and markets jet fuels, diesel products,
solvents and other highly specialized fuels.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
W.D. Texas Case No. 10-50501) on Feb. 8, 2010.  Aaron Michael
Kaufman, Esq., and Mark E. Andrews, Esq., at Cox Smith Matthews
Incorporated, in Dallas, represent the Chapter 11 debtor.  The
Company estimated $10 million to $50 million in assets and
$100 million to $500 million in liabilities in its bankruptcy
petition.

Eric Moeller has been named chapter 11 trustee to take management
of the Debtor from CEO Glen Gonzalez.  In November 2010, the
trustee filed suit against Mr. Gonzalez, alleging he breached his
fiduciary duty by dipping into Company coffers for his personal
use while paying himself an excessive salary and stock
distributions.

David S. Gragg, Esq., Steven R. Brook, Esq., Natalie F. Wilson,
Esq., and Allen M. DeBard, Esq., at Langley & Banack, Inc., in San
Antonio, Tex., serve as general counsel to the Chapter 11 Trustee.


ALION SCIENCE: S&P Lowers Corporate Credit Rating to 'CCC+'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on McLean, Va.-based Alion Science and Technology Corp. to
'CCC+' from 'B-'. The rating outlook is negative.

"We also lowered the issue-level rating on the company's $35
million revolving credit to 'B' (two notches higher than the
corporate credit rating) from 'B+'. The recovery rating remains at
'1', indicating our expectation for very high (90%-100%) recovery
for lenders in the event of a payment default," S&P stated.

"At the same time, we lowered the issue-level rating on the
company's $310 million senior secured notes to 'B-' (one notch
higher than the corporate credit rating) from 'B'. The recovery
rating on this debt stays at '2', indicating our expectation for
substantial (70%-90%) recovery for noteholders in the event of a
payment default," S&P related.

"Finally, we concurrently lowered the issue-level rating on the
company's $250 million senior unsecured notes to 'CCC-' (two
notches below the corporate credit rating) from 'CCC+'. The
recovery rating for the notes is unchanged at '6', indicating our
expectation for negligible (0%-10%) recovery for noteholders in
the event of a payment default," S&P said.

"The downgrade of Alion is a result of the company's recent
operational weakness," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Alfred Bonfantini, "and the prospect of further pressure on
revenues, which stem from the continuing resolution on the 2011
Federal government budget that wasn't settled until April 2011,
the subsequent specter of a U.S. government default during the
debt ceiling debate, and the ongoing uncertainty over future
budget cuts and levels."


ALISO COMMONS: Creditor Wins Dismissal of Chapter 11 Case
---------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Theodor Albert of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California dismissed the Chapter 11 case of
Aliso Commons Corner LLC.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 12, 2011,
American Security, a secured creditor, asked that the Court
dismiss or convert the Debtor's case, or prohibit or condition the
use of cash collateral, explaining that:

   -- the Debtor has not cured its mismanagement or improved its
      dismal chances of reorganizing -- consistent with its first
      case dismissed on Dec. 7, 2010 -- and the case is merely the
      continuation of Debtor's tactics to delay an inevitable
      foreclosure of its real property.

   -- The Debtor failed to collect rents and CAM charges, some of
      which are not being paid due to Debtor's failure to obtain
      final certificates of occupancy.  The Debtor has also failed
      to respond to a tenant's requests to enter into a non-
      disturbance agreement and for disbursement of rents
      currently maintained in escrow.  The failure places that
      tenancy in jeopardy to the detriment of creditors.

   -- The Debtor also lacks the ability to reorganize as it does
      not have ability to cure its defaults (albeit uncurable)
      under its Development Agreement with the City of Aliso
      Viejo.  The Debtor lacks the ability to satisfy certain
      requirements which include devotion of substantial funds for
      community enhancement and safety measures or payment of a
      Parkland Fee of $2,497,500 by March 2010 and commencement of
      certain construction.

   -- Finally, the Debtor failed to obtain the bank's consent to
      use cash collateral.  Despite the bank's efforts since
      December 2010, for an accounting and information relating to
      collections and operations, the Debtor has failed to
      respond.

ALT HOTEL: Wants Plan Filing Exclusivity Until Dec. 2
-----------------------------------------------------
ALT Hotel, LLC is asking the bankruptcy court to extend its
exclusive periods to file a proposed Chapter 11 plan until Dec. 2,
2011, and its exclusive solicitation period until Feb. 3, 2012.

The Honorable A. Benjamin Goldgar was scheduled to convene a
hearing on the extension on Sept. 7.

The Debtor's sole asset is a hotel in downtown Chicago, Illinois,
named the Allerton Hotel, which is centrally located on Chicago's
"Magnificent Mile."  The Hotel is managed by Kokua Hospitality,
LLC.  Kokua Hospitality is the exclusive manager of the Hotel.

The Debtor is also a party to a certain Loan Agreement, as
amended, dated Nov. 9, 2006, with Column Financial, Inc.
DiamondRock Allerton Owner, LLC currently purports to hold the
position of senior lender under the Loan Agreement.

Neal L. Wolf, Esq., at Neal Wolf & Associates, LLC, in Chicago,
Illinois, relates that since the inception of the case, much of
the Debtor's time has been preoccupied with negotiations with
DiamondRock over four different cash collateral orders, the Stay
Relief Motion, the Valuation Motion, the Equitable Subordination
Proceeding, the overly broad discovery requests of DiamondRock,
and the development of a business and reorganization plan that
will maximize the value of the Hotel.

Among other things, the Debtor has produced approximately 3,000
documents of roughly 63,000 pages, and is diligently working to
complete the review and production of remaining documents,
according to Mr. Wolf.

The Debtor has also negotiated with DiamondRock and Kokua
Hospitality over an agreed form of protective order to avoid harm
to the Hotel through the public dissemination of sensitive
financial and operational information.  The Court entered the
agreed protective order on Aug. 18, 2011.

In order to property protect the Debtor's interests, the Debtor
and its parent company, Hotel Allerton Mezz, LLC, filed the
Equitable Subordination Proceeding against DiamondRock, and in
connection to that, have spent considerable time and effort
evaluating and responding to DiamondRock's Motion to Dismiss, and
in preparing amended complaints.  The Equitable Subordination
Proceeding is an ongoing, necessary component of the case, Mr.
Wolf says.

In addition, the Debtor, its counsel, and its consultants have
devoted substantial time and effort to the development of an
appropriate, performance- and value-maximizing business and
restructuring plan for the Hotel, Mr. Wolf relates.

In the nearly four months since the Petition Date, the Debtor and
its professionals have concentrated on a broad spectrum of issues
related to operations and performance of the Hotel, value of the
Hotel, and claims of and against DiamondRock.  They have "moved
forward with great energy on multiple fronts," Mr. Wolf tells the
Court.  He asserts that cause exists for the Court to grant a 90-
day extension of the Exclusivity Periods.

AMBAC FINANCIAL: Agrees to $14-Mil. Claim for One State Street
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ambac Financial Group, Inc. entered into a bankruptcy court-
approved stipulation granting One State Street, LLC, a general
unsecured claim for $14,007,368.

Pursuant to a previous settlement agreement between the Debtor
and OSS and a related March 24, 2011 order, OSS is entitled to
receive an allowed $14,302,367 general unsecured claim against
the Debtor's estate, subject to downward adjustment to reflect
payments made by the Debtor pursuant to the parties' Prepetition
Lease between March 1, 2011, and the effective date of the
Settlement Agreement.  The Settlement Agreement became effective
on May 19, 2011.

After accounting for the payments made by the Debtor to OSS
during the period between the execution and effective date of the
Settlement Agreement, the amount of OSS' claim is $14,007,368.
Accordingly, the Debtor, the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors, and OSS have determined that OSS' claim will be
allowed as a general unsecured claim for $14,007,368.

ARIZONA INSTITUTE: Trustee Wants Chapter 11 Case Dismissed
----------------------------------------------------------
David M. Reaves, the Chapter 11 trustee for AHI Holding Company
fka Arizona Heart Institute Ltd., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Arizona to dismiss the Debtor's Chapter 11
case because the Debtor has no ongoing business to reorganize.

A hearing is set for Sept. 16, 2011 at 10:30 a.m., at 230 N. First
Ave., 7th Floor, Courtroom 702 in Phoenix, Arizona, to consider
the request.

According to the Trustee, the Debtor has not filed a plan of
reorganization, and it is apparent that the Debtor has no
intention of pursuing confirmation of a plan.  The Debtor's
estate, Mr. Reaves relates, does not have any unencumbered assets
or funds, other than potential avoidance actions and possibly
other causes of action.  Significant Chapter 11 administrative
expenses have been incurred to date and continue to accrue, and
the estate has no funds available to pay those expenses, according
to the Trustee.

The Chapter 11 Trustee tells the Court that, on the Petition Date,
the Debtor entered into an asset purchase agreement with Hospital
Development Company Number 1, Inc., a subsidiary of Vanguard
Health Systems, Inc.  Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the Debtor
agreed to sell substantially all of its assets to the Purchaser.

On Sept. 30, 2010, the Court entered an order approving the APA
and the sale of the sale of the Debtor's assets to Hospital
Development.  The sale closed on or about Oct. 15, 2010.

The Trustee notes, after the sale of the Debtor's assets, the
Debtor's business operations ceased.

Phoenix, Arizona-based Arizona Heart Institute, Ltd., is a
specialty outpatient clinic dedicated to the prevention, detection
and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.  It was founded by
Edward B. Diethrich, M.D., in 1971, and at its height operated
numerous offices across the Phoenix metropolitan area.

Arizona Heart filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
D. Ariz. Case No. 10-24062) on July 30, 2010.  C. Taylor Ashworth,
Esq., and Christopher Graver, Esq., at Stinson Morrison Hecker
LLP, assist the Debtor in its restructuring effort.  Ilene J.
Lashinsky, the U.S. Trustee for Region 14, appointed three members
to the official committee of unsecured creditors in the Debtor's

$8,115,541 in debts as of the Petition Date.

Trustee seeks to avoid and recover $2,581,431 paid to the
Defendants approximately nine months prior to the Petition Date.
The Defendants sought dismissal of the complaint pursuant to Fed.
R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim upon which relief
can be granted.  The Court said the complaint fails to state a
cause of action under 11 U.S.C. Sections 548(a)(1),
548(a)(1)(B)(ii)(I) and 548(a)(1)(B)(ii)(III).  However, the

sought from each defendant.

BERNARD L MADOFF: Picard Gets Favorable Ruling From Judge Wood
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the trustee liquidating Bernard L. Madoff Investment
Securities Inc. received a vote of confidence last week when U.S.
District Judge Kimba M. Wood ruled that he is using valid theories
to recover money customers took out of the Ponzi scheme before the
fraud was discovered.

Mr. Rochelle notes that although Judge Wood's ruling was made in a
different case, it throws cold water on an effort by the owners of
the New York Mets baseball club to win dismissal of a similar
lawsuit where the Madoff trustee is demanding $1 billion.

Mr. Rochelle recounts that last year, the bankruptcy court turned
back an effort by the Ariel and Gabriel funds controlled by Ezra
Merkin to dismiss the trustee's complaint to recover $34 million
taken out before the Madoff fraud surfaced.  Taking the facts in
the complaint as true, Judge Wood said that the trustee's case
passes muster at the early stages of a lawsuit.

According to the report, in one of several rulings equally
applicable to the trustee's $1 billion lawsuit against Fred
Wilpon; Sterling Equities Inc., the Mets' owners; and Wilpon's
friends, family and associates, Judge Wood said in an Aug. 31
opinion that it was sufficient if only Madoff, not the customer,
had an intent to defraud under both federal and state law.

While Merkin claimed he acted in good faith and therefore had a
valid affirmative defense, Judge Wood said the defense can't
ordinarily be raised when attacking a complaint at the early stage
of a case, before discovery is completed, according to the
Bloomberg report.  Judge Wood also said that a defrauded
customer's claim against the broker doesn't constitute "value" to
offset a fraud claim.

Like Wilpon, Merkin contended that he is protected from suit by
Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, known as the safe harbor.
To fall within the safe harbor, the Madoff firm must have made the
payment as a "stockbroker," Judge Wood said.  The judge could find
no authority for the proposition that a Ponzi scheme operator
qualifies as a stockbroker when no actual trades in securities
were ever made.

Wilpon and the Mets' owners are asking a different U.S.
District Judge, Jed Rakoff, to dismiss the Madoff trustee's suit
on many of the same grounds.  Mr. Rochelle relates that although
Judge Rakoff isn't bound by Judge Wood's decision, it would be an
unusual and potentially embarrassing result if two equally ranked
district judges in the same courthouse reached differing
conclusions.

Mr. Rochelle relates Merkin ended up in Judge Wood's court after
the bankruptcy judge last year denied his motion to dismiss the
suit.  Judge Wood issued her decision in response to Merkin's
motion for what's known as an interlocutory appeal, or an appeal
taken before the case is finished entirely.

Merkin's attempted appeal in district court is Picard v. Merkin
(In re Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC), 11-mc-00012,
U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

                       About Bernard L. Madoff

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and Bernard L. Madoff
orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in history, with losses
topping US$50 billion.  On Dec. 15, 2008, the Honorable Louis A.
Stanton of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
New York granted the application of the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation for a decree adjudicating that the
customers of BLMIS are in need of the protection afforded by the
Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970.  The District Court's
Protective Order (i) appointed Irving H. Picard, Esq., as trustee
for the liquidation of BLMIS, (ii) appointed Baker & Hostetler LLP
as his counsel, and (iii) removed the SIPA Liquidation proceeding
to the Bankruptcy Court (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Adv. Pro. No. 08-01789)
(Lifland, J.).  Mr. Picard has retained AlixPartners LLP as claims
agent.

On April 13, 2009, former BLMIS clients filed an involuntary
Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against Bernard Madoff (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. 09-11893).  The case is before Hon. Burton Lifland.  The
petitioning creditors -- Blumenthal & Associates Florida General
Partnership, Martin Rappaport Charitable Remainder Unitrust,
Martin Rappaport, Marc Cherno, and Steven Morganstern -- assert
US$64 million in claims against Mr. Madoff based on the balances
contained in the last statements they got from BLMIS.

On April 14, 2009, Grant Thornton UK LLP as receiver placed Madoff
Securities International Limited in London under bankruptcy
protection pursuant to Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. 09-16751).

The Chapter 15 case was later transferred to Manhattan.  In June
2009, Judge Lifland approved the consolidation of the Madoff SIPA
proceedings and the bankruptcy case.

Judge Denny Chin of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York on June 29, 2009, sentenced Mr. Madoff to
150 years of life imprisonment for defrauding investors in United
States v. Madoff, No. 09-CR-213 (S.D.N.Y.)

As of July 15, 2011, a total of US$6.88 billion in claims by
investors has been allowed, with US$794.9 million to be paid by
the Securities Investor Protection Corp.  Investors are expected
to receive additional distributions from money recovered by Mr.
Picard from lawsuits or settlements.


BERNARD L. MADOFF: Victims Seek Review of 2nd Circ. Ruling
----------------------------------------------------------
Lisa Uhlman at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Bernard L. Madoff
Investment Securities LLC victims on Saturday sought full-court
review of a Second Circuit ruling that they can only recover the
principal they invested in the Ponzi scheme, not paper profits,
saying it contradicts an earlier circuit decision.

In seeking en banc review of the three-judge panel's decision
affirming a bankruptcy court's approval of trustee Irving Picard's
so-called net equity method of calculating recovery, the investors
argues the Second Circuit itself had earlier given its blessing to
the alternative last-statement method, according to Law360.

topping US$50 billion.  On Dec. 15, 2008, the Honorable Louis A.
Stanton of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
New York granted the application of the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation for a decree adjudicating that the
customers of BLMIS are in need of the protection afforded by the
Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970.  The District Court's
Protective Order (i) appointed Irving H. Picard, Esq., as trustee
for the liquidation of BLMIS, (ii) appointed Baker & Hostetler LLP
as his counsel, and (iii) removed the SIPA Liquidation proceeding
to the Bankruptcy Court (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Adv. Pro. No. 08-01789)
(Lifland, J.).  Mr. Picard has retained AlixPartners LLP as claims
agent.

On April 13, 2009, former BLMIS clients filed an involuntary
Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against Bernard Madoff (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. 09-11893).  The case is before Hon. Burton Lifland.  The
petitioning creditors -- Blumenthal & Associates Florida General
Partnership, Martin Rappaport Charitable Remainder Unitrust,
Martin Rappaport, Marc Cherno, and Steven Morganstern -- assert
US$64 million in claims against Mr. Madoff based on the balances
contained in the last statements they got from BLMIS.

On April 14, 2009, Grant Thornton UK LLP as receiver placed Madoff
Securities International Limited in London under bankruptcy
protection pursuant to Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. 09-16751).

The Chapter 15 case was later transferred to Manhattan.  In June
2009, Judge Lifland approved the consolidation of the Madoff SIPA
proceedings and the bankruptcy case.

Judge Denny Chin of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York on June 29, 2009, sentenced Mr. Madoff to
150 years of life imprisonment for defrauding investors in United
States v. Madoff, No. 09-CR-213 (S.D.N.Y.)

As of July 15, 2011, a total of US$6.88 billion in claims by
investors has been allowed, with US$794.9 million to be paid by
the Securities Investor Protection Corp.  Investors are expected
to receive additional distributions from money recovered by Mr.
Picard from lawsuits or settlements.

BORDERS GROUP: Proposes $1.75-Mil. in Severance Payments
--------------------------------------------------------
Borders Group, Inc. and its debtor affiliates seek permission
from Judge Martin Glenn of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York to make severance payments to their
top 14 employees totaling $1.75 million.

The Debtors maintain a severance pay policy for all of their
employees who are not parties to a separate severance agreement
or policy with them, or who are not parties to an individual
employment agreement with them that provides for severance
benefits.

The amount of severance benefits payable under the Severance Plan
depends on an employee's tenure.  Separate from the Severance
Plan, the Debtors' vice presidents and director-level employees
are also parties to written severance agreements or company
policy enacted prepetition by the Debtors' board of directors
providing for six months or one year of severance payments.

In April 2011, the Court approved a Key Employee Incentive Plan
for five of the Debtors' highest level executives and 10 of the
Debtors' employees holding titles of vice president.  One of the
Senior Management employees, Michele Cloutier, the Debtors'
former executive vice president and chief merchandising officer,
resigned on or about June 10, 2011, and is not eligible for
severance.  Two other Senior Management employees, Mike Edwards,
former chief executive officer of the Debtors; and Scott Henry,
former chief financial officer of the Debtors; were voluntarily
terminated on July 29, 2011.  Two additional Senior Management
employees, Jim Frering, executive vice president for store
operations, and Rosalind Thompson, senior vice president for
human resources, are remaining with the Debtors throughout the
liquidation process.

Under the KEIP, the Senior Management Employees and Non-Insider
Management Employees were only to be paid, among other things,
upon the Debtors' emergence from Chapter 11 by a sale of
substantially all of the Debtors' assets as a going concern or a
plan of reorganization resulting in an ongoing business.
Unfortunately, no such transaction was achieved in these Chapter
11 cases, and accordingly, no payments will be made under the
KEIP.

The KEIP Order provides that "[i]f no awards provided for under
the KEIP are paid for any reason, the Debtors reserve their right
to seek court approval of a severance program for these 15
individuals only to the extent that could be allowed pursuant to
Section 503(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Creditors'
Committee reserves its right to object to any such severance plan
proposal."  The Debtors believe that this provision was intended
to apply if they sought approval of a new severance program --
which they are not doing at the present time.

Because most of the KEIP individuals are non-insider management
employees, the Debtors are still entitled -- and in fact, have
begun -- making severance payments to certain of these former
employees under existing Severance Agreements and the Severance
Policy on a semi-monthly basis.  The Debtors disclose that the
total amount of Non-Insider Management Severance Payments that
will be made to the 10 Non-Insider Management Employees is
approximately $1.25 million or a $125,000 or less severance
payment per employee.  The Non-Insider Management Employees are:

* Eric Kovats, Vice President, Regional East
* Beatrice Vicente, Vice President, Regional West
* Jason Cline, Vice President, Financial Planning and Analysis
* Lynda Pak, Vice President, Applications
* Daniel Angus, Vice President, Loyalty Marketing
* Edward Jackson, Vice President, Tax
* Renee Rockwood, Vice President, Merchandising
* Joanna Cline, Vice President, Brand Merchandising
* Mark Bacon, Vice President, Planning and Allocation
* Robert Chun, Vice President, Digital

By this motion, the Debtors seek the Court's authority to make
severance payments to four Senior Management Officers -- Mike
Edwards, Scott Henry, Jim Frering, and Rosalind Thompson, each of
whom are "insiders" of the Debtors -- at $125,000 per insider
employee, for a total of $500,000.

The Debtors do not believe they are required to seek Court
permission to make severance payments, which do not exceed the
Section 503(c)(2)(B) Cap to the Non-Insider Management Employees.
However, at the insistence of the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors and out of an abundance of caution, the Debtors also
seek the Court's authority to make the Non-Insider Management
Severance Payments.

As a result, the total amount of Severance Payments to the
Debtors' top 14 employees would be approximately $1.75 million.
The Creditors' Committee has reviewed the calculation of the
$125,000 Severance Payment to each of the Senior Management
Employees and has agreed to the amounts of the Severance
Payments.

On August 26, 2011, the Debtors sent letters to the Senior
Management Employees and Non-Insider Management Employees
notifying them that by accepting the Severance Payments, they
will be deemed to also accept the releases set forth in the
letters.  Pursuant to the Releases, the former employees waive,
among other things, any and all claims they may have against the
Debtors.

Borders Senior Vice President for Restructuring Holly Felder
Etlin stated in an accompanying declaration that the Severance
Payments are reasonable under the circumstances.  After
application of the Section 503(c)(2)(B) cap, Messrs. Edwards and
Henry will receive approximately 2 and 2 1/2 months' pay as
severance.  The Non-Insider Management Employees will receive
approximately six months' salary, depending on employee.

David M. Friedman, Esq., at Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman
LLP, in New York, insists that making the Severance Payments
constitutes a valid exercise of the Debtors' business judgment.
Post-termination, Messrs. Edwards and Henry continue to work
actively on a non-compensated basis to assure the successful sale
of certain store sites and the Debtors' intellectual property,
Mr. Friedman says.  In coordinating an expeditious and orderly
liquidation, Mr. Frering, Ms. Thompson, and the Non-Insider
Management Employees remaining with the company are working
tirelessly for the benefit of all creditors, yet are currently
working themselves out of a job upon completion of the task, Mr.
Friedman stresses.

The Debtors will not be able to wind down their business in an
orderly fashion for the benefit of all their creditors without
the best efforts of the Senior Management Employees and Non-
Insider Management Employees, Mr. Friedman points out.  Moreover,
he stresses, all of the Senior Management Employees and Non-
Insider Management Employees bargained for and expected severance
in the event their positions were terminated due to no fault of
their own, which is exactly what is occurring.  "It would thus be
unfair, inequitable and damaging to the Senior Management
Employees and Non-Insider Management Employees for the Debtors to
fail to make the Severance Payments, which fall with the amounts
permitted by the Bankruptcy Code," he maintains.

The Court will consider the Debtors' request on September 8,
2011.  Objections are due no later than September 7.

BORDERS GROUP: Initiates Lawsuit vs. Next Jump for Infringement
---------------------------------------------------------------
Borders, Inc., and Borders Properties, Inc. initiated an
adversary proceeding against Next Jump, Inc., for
misappropriation of trade secret and common law trademark
infringement.

The Debtors and Next Jump entered into a prepetition business
arrangement whereby Borders engaged Next Jump as a service
provider to operate a Borders Web site, bordersrewardsperks.com,
and thereby, Next Jump gained access to a portion of Borders
customer list.

Jeffrey R. Gleit, Esq., at Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman
LLP, in New York, asserts that Next Jump violated that agreement
by soliciting Borders' customers to join a Web site similar to
www.bordersrewardsperks.com, www.OO.com, which was owned and
operated by Next Jump.  Borders related that it explicitly told
Next Jump to stop emailing Borders' customers, and terminated the
agreement.  Despite the fact that Next Jump was expressly advised
of the termination the Next Jump Agreement, Next Jump kept that
portion of Borders' customer list in its possession and continues
to e-mail Borders' customers stating that "Borders' Rewards Perks
is now OO.com," Next Jump's Web site, the Debtors allege.

On August 30, 2011, Next Jump contacted the Debtors and informed
them that it believes that it has the right to retain information
relating to approximately 500,000 of Borders' customers who
allegedly "converted" to OO.com, according to Mr. Gleit.

As of August 31, 2011, Next Jump, through OO.com, continues to
use the BORDERS Marks without authorization, Mr. Gleit tells the
Court.  Likewise, Next Jump continues to operate the
bordersrewardsperks.com Web site, which includes many of the
BORDERS Marks, without authorization, he adds.  Indeed, the
bordersrewardsperks.com Web site falsely and misleadingly states
that, "[u]nfortunately Borders Rewards Perks is no longer
accepting new registrations and will be migrating to OO.com," he
points out.

"Next Jump willfully and maliciously misused the BRP Customer
List and the BORDERS Marks to the disadvantage of the Debtors and
their creditors," Mr. Gleit tells Judge Glenn.  Next Jump has
also adopted the BORDERS Marks in bad faith and with specific
intent to appropriate goodwill associated with the BORDERS Marks,
Mr. Gleit stresses.

Next Jump, Mr. Gleit further contends, is infringing Borders'
trademark and trade dress by improperly using Borders' trademarks
in e-mail communications, by continuing to operate the
bordersrewardsperks.com Web site, and by using Borders'
trademarks on Next Jump's Web site OO.com without authorization.

At least five potential bidders became aware of Next Jump's
conduct because of Next Jump's unauthorized solicitations, says
Mr. Gleit.  On August 30, 2011, one potential bidder for the
Debtors' assets told the Debtors' agent that Next Jump's conduct
may cause that potential bidder to lower its valuation of the
Debtors' assets, he discloses.

"By its actions, Next Jump is causing irreparable harm to the
Debtors' estates and creditors at a crucial point in these
chapter 11 cases," Mr. Gleit emphasizes.  The Debtors are in the
process of selling their intellectual property assets.

By this complaint, the Debtors ask Judge Glenn to:

  (1) enter an order enjoining Next Jump from using the BRP
      Customer List in any way, including emailing persons on
      the BRP Customer List;

  (2) enter an order enjoining Next Jump from using any customer
      information derived from Next Jump's unauthorized
      solicitation of persons on the BRP Customer List in any
      way, including e-mailing persons who signed up with OO.com
      as a result of Next Jump's unauthorized solicitation of
      persons on the BRP Customer List;

  (3) enter an order enjoining Next Jump from using any of the
      BORDERS Marks, including operation of the Web site
      bordersrewardsperks.com;

  (4) enter an order requiring Next Jump to return the BRP
      Customer List to Borders and purge the BRP Customer List
      from Next Jump's systems, and verify that the purge has
      taken place;

  (5) enter an order requiring Next Jump to identify all uses of
      the BRP Customer List since July 20, 2011;

  (6) enter an order requiring that Next Jump disgorge any
      benefits that it has unjustly obtained;

  (7) grant the Debtors compensatory damages, including
      statutory damages for infringement of the registered
      BORDERS Marks; and

  (8) grant the Debtors punitive damages for violation of the
      automatic stay and as otherwise permitted by applicable
      law.

The Debtors further ask the Court to enter a temporary
restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Next Jump
from continuing its unauthorized use of the BRP Customer List and
BORDERS Marks.

In an accompanying memorandum of law and declaration, Mr. Gleit
asserts that a preliminary injunction in this instance is
warranted because corporations should not be able to
misappropriate the assets and trademarks of a liquidating debtor
to the detriment of that debtor's estates and creditors.

Essentially, Next Jump is blatantly misusing the BRP Customer
List despite the clear and unambiguous language of the Next Jump
Agreement and infringing on the Borders trademarks and trade
dress by posting Borders' marks on Next Jump's Web site, Mr.
Gleit points out.

"Because Borders is liquidating, it will never be able to recoup
the loss in value to its name.  Thus, the balance of the harms
clearly weighs in the Debtors' favor," Mr. Gleit argues.

                    Next Jump Agrees to Stop
                  E-mails to Borders Customers

Next Jump agreed to Borders' request to stop e-mailing the book
chain's customers while the parties hash out how to move forward
in the trademark infringement lawsuit, Borders' lawyer told Judge
Glenn at a September 2 hearing, Reuters reports.

Next Jump also agreed to remove references to Borders' trademarks
from its own Web site OO.com, Jeffrey Gleit, Esq., of Kasowitz,
Benson, Torres & Friedman LLP, disclosed at the hearing, Reuters
relates.

In light of this development, the Court adjourned the hearing to
consider entry of the TRO from September 2 to September 6, 2011.
The Sept. 6 hearing, however, may be canceled if the parties can
agree on terms in advance, Mr. Gleit stated, according to
Reuters.

Next Jump also continues to deny allegations made by Borders in
the infringement lawsuit, Reuters notes.  "The facts have been
significantly distorted and Next Jump has retained counsel to
right the wrong we're being accused of," Meghan Messenger, a
partner at Next Jump, stated in an e-mail to Reuters.

Borders said the lawsuit is aiming to protect its customers,
Reuters relays.  "We take the privacy of our customers very
seriously and will act to ensure that measures are taken to
protect their information," Borders was quoted as saying by
Reuters.

Pursuant to the Court's original schedule, a hearing to consider
the preliminary injunction request will be held on September 15,
2011. Objections to the Preliminary Injunction request are due no
later than September 9.

BORDERS GROUP: Pinsker Files Class Suit for WARN Act Violations
---------------------------------------------------------------
Jared Pinsker filed a class action against Borders, Inc., for
collection of unpaid wages and benefits for 60 days pursuant to
Section 2101 of the Worker Adjustment and Restraining
Notification Act of 1988 and Section 921 of the New York Labor
Code.

Mr. Pinsker brought the action on behalf of all similarly
situated former employees of the Debtor who worked at or reported
to the facility and who were laid off without cause on or about
July 23, 2011, to August 23, 2011, and thereafter.

The Debtor employed 100 or more employees, exclusive of part-time
employees, or employed 100 or more employees who in the aggregate
worked at least 4,000 hours per week exclusive of hours of
overtime within the U.S. as defined by WARN Section 2101.  During
the relevant class period, the Debtor ordered mass layoffs at the
Facility.  The Debtor's actions resulted in an employment loss as
the term is defined by WARN Section 2101 for at least 33% of its
workforce and at least 50 of its employees.

Counsel to Mr. Pinsker, Stuart J. Miller, Esq., at Lankenau &
Miller, LLP, in New York, asserts that the Debtor failed to
provide Mr. Pinsker and the other Similarly Situated Employees or
their representatives at least 60 days' advance notice of their
termination as required by the WARN Act.  Prior to their
terminations, neither Mr. Pinsker nor the other Similarly
Situated Employees or their representatives received written
notice that complied with the requirements of the WARN Act, Mr.
Miller contends.

Moreover, the Debtors failed to pay Mr. Pinsker and the other
Similarly Situated Employees their wages, salary, commissions,
bonuses, accrued holiday pay vacation, which would have accrued
for 60 days following their terminations without notice and
failed to make 401(k) contributions and provide them with health
insurance coverage and other employee benefits, Mr. Miller
argues.

Against this backdrop, Mr. Pinsker and the other Similarly
Situated Employees ask the Court to enter a judgment for:

  (A) an allowed administrative priority claim pursuant to
      Section 503 of the Bankruptcy Code in an amount equal to
      the sum of: unpaid wages, salary, commissions, bonuses,
      accrued holiday pay, accrued vacation pay, pension and
      401(k) contributions and other benefits under the Employee
      Retirement Income Security Act for 60 working days
      following the terminations that would have been covered
      and paid under the then-applicable employee benefit plans
      had that coverage continued for that period, all
      determined in accordance with Section 2104(a)(1)(A) of the
      WARN Act;

  (B) a certification that pursuant to Rule 23(a) and (b) of the
      Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and WARN Act Section
      2104(a)(5), Mr. Pinsker and other Class members constitute
      a single class;

  (C) appointment of Mr. Pinsker as the class representative and
      payment of reasonable compensation to him for services;

  (D) appointment of Mr. Pinsker's attorneys as class counsel;
       and

  (E) an allowed administrative priority claim under Section 503
      for the reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and
      disbursements Mr. Pinsker incurs in prosecuting the
      adversary proceeding, as authorized by WARN Act Section
      2104(a)(6) and New York Labor Code Section 921.

CLAUDIO OSORIO: To Sell Mansion to Keep Control Over Estate
-----------------------------------------------------------
Paul Brinkmann at South Florida Business Journal reports Claudio
Osorio is being forced to sell the mansion in an attempt to
maintain control over his estate in Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  The
minimum bid is $10.5 million.

According to the report, Mr. Osorio told a bankruptcy judge he
plans to launch a new company partly funded by the proceeds of the
home sale.  His most recent company, InnoVida Holdings, was a
construction panel manufacturer that went bankrupt after several
investors sued Mr. Osorio for lack of payment under contract.  At
least three of his Star Island neighbors are among the angry
investors who have sued him.

The report says Pompano Beach-based Fisher Auction Co. is handling
the sale, and broker Jill Eber is representing Mr. Osorio.  The
list price has been $14.9 million.  Mr. Eber said some buyers have
expressed interest in keeping the current house.

The report relates that Denver oil businessman Thomas Morgan
previously submitted an offer of $10 million, subject to court
approval.  But after additional interest from possible buyers, the
deal was nixed, and Morgan failed in an attempt to enforce the
contract.  According to court filings, Morgan was offered a
position as a stalking-horse bidder, but declined.

Other facts about the auction, according to court documents:

  -- Bidding will be in increments of $100,000.

  -- An additional 6 percent will be added to the winning bid to
     cover the auctioneer and broker fee, plus a relatively small
     disbursement to the estate.

                 About InnoVida and Osorio

Receiver Mark S. Meland, at Meland Russin & Budwick, PA, filed a
Chapter 11 petition for InnoVida Holdings, LLC, fdba COEG, LLC
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No. 11-17702) on March 24, 2011.  Separate
Chapter 11 petitions were also filed for these affiliates:
InnoVida MRD, LLC (Case No. 11-17704), InnoVida Services, Inc.
(Case No. 11-17705), and InnoVida Southeast, LLC (Case No. 11-
17706).  Peter D. Russin, Esq., at Meland Russin & Budwick, P.A.,
serves as bankruptcy counsel.  InnoVida Holdings has under $50,000
in assets and $10 million to $50 million in debts, according to
the petition.

Founder Claudio Eleazar and Amarilis Osorio filed a separate
Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No. 11-17075) on
March 17, 2011.  Mr. Osorios is being accused of fraud and
mismanagement.

Bankruptcy Judge Robert A. Mark in Miami authorized the
appointment of Mark S. Meland as trustee for InnoVida.
Mr. Meland, who had been serving as a receiver for the business in
the wake of the allegations against Mr. Osorio, was the one who
ushered InnoVida into bankruptcy.

According to DBR, the ruling paved the way for the federal
bankruptcy watchdog assigned to the case to place Mark S. Meland
in the role.  Mr. Meland, who had been serving as a receiver for
the business in the wake of the allegations against Mr. Osorio,
was the one who ushered InnoVida into bankruptcy on March 24.


CORUS BANKSHARES: FDIC Says Ch. 11 Plan Violates Priority Rule
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as Receiver for Corus
Bank, N.A., objects to the proposed Plan of Reorganization filed
by Corus Bankshares, Inc.  The FDIC, which has an ongoing
$265 million tax dispute with the Debtor, says it will vote
against the Plan because it violates the absolute priority rule.

The FDIC objects to the Plan on two grounds.  First, the Plan
violates the absolute priority rule and is therefore unconfirmable
absent the consent of the FDIC.  Second, the Plan pays fees to
various participants in the bankruptcy process in violation of the
requirements of the Bankruptcy Code.

The FDIC notes that the absolute priority rule requires that
senior creditors be paid in full before junior creditors are paid
in any amount.  Under the Plan, the amounts owed to the TOPrS
debenture holders and the amount presumed to be owed to the FDIC
are given pari passu treatment.  Thus, if the TOPrS indebtedness
is junior to that of the FDIC claim, the Plan violates the
absolute priority rule and cannot be confirmed.

The Plan, according to the FDIC, is also deficient and
unconfirmable in that it allows for a variety of fees,
particularly those of the Indenture Trustees and Tricadia, to be
paid as if they were administrative claims.  The Indenture
Trustees and Tricadia are unsecured creditors with no claim to
priority.  Payment of their fees, the FDIC relates, violates the
Bankruptcy Code, which requires that creditors demonstrate a
substantial contribution before being compensated.

The FDIC is represented by:

                       The Chapter 11 Plan

Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reported early August that Corus Bankshares Inc. returns to the
bankruptcy court on Sept. 27 for a confirmation hearing to approve
the Chapter 11 plan.

At the end of July, the bankruptcy court in Chicago approved the
disclosure statement giving creditors the information they need in
deciding how to vote on the plan.

According to the Bloomberg report, the salient terms of the Plan
are:

    * The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. claims will be put into
      two classes, one for a priority claim and another for its
      nonpriority unsecured claim.  Eventually, Corus doesn't
      believe the FDIC will have any valid priority claim to be
      paid in full ahead of unsecured creditors.  For the
      unsecured claim that could be as much as $183.4 million,
      FDIC is expected to recover between 6.2% and 53.3%.

    * Holders of trust preferred securities, known as TOPrS, are
      to have a similar recovery for their $415.6 million in
      claims.

    * General unsecured creditors with claims totaling between $10
      million and $21 million are to have an identical dividend.

    * Subordinated creditors and shareholders won't receive
      anything.

The FDIC and Corus are in litigation over who owns $258 million in
tax refunds.

                        Plan Supplement

Corus Bankshares, Inc., has filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court a
Plan Supplement for its Second Amended Chapter 11 Plan.

The Debtors has filed this first amendment to the Plan Supplement
with the following revised exhibits to the Plan Supplement:

     * Exhibit 1 - Charter of the Reorganized Debtor
     * Exhibit 3 - List of Rejected Executory Contracts and
       Unexpired Leases

CRAWFORD FURNITURE: May Use Cash Collateral Until Sept. 16
----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of New York
approved Crawford Furniture Manufacturing Corp., and Crawford
Furniture Retail Outlet, Inc.'s stipulation and order authorizing,
on an emergency and limited basis, use of certain cash collateral,
all of which may be presently subject to liens and security
interests in favor of England, Inc.  The Debtors also filed a
separate cash collateral motion.

England asserts a claim against Retail for $80,000 for the unpaid
purchase price of certain furniture goods that were sold and
delivered prepetition.  The England Claim is secured pursuant to a
security agreement dated April 11, 2011, that was executed and
delivered by Manufacturing in favor of La-Z-Boy, Incorporated, and
any of its subsidiaries and affiliates, including England.  Under
the Security Agreement, England asserts a security interest in all
of Manufacturing's inventory, including Manufacturing's cash
collateral.

In their Cash Collateral Motion, the Debtors contend that
Manufacturing requires the use of the Cash Collateral to fund its
day-to-day operations.  Absent that relief, Manufacturing's
business will be seriously affected, with disastrous consequences
for the Debtors, their estates and their creditors, Camille W.
Hill, Esq., at Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC, in Syracuse, New York
-- chill@bsk.com -- tells the Court.  She notes that Manufacturing
is unable to obtain unsecured credit under Section 503(b)(1) of
the Bankruptcy Code as an administrative expense sufficient to
meet its operating needs.

Under the Debtors and England's Stipulation, Manufacturing may use
the Cash Collateral and may use it to pay ordinary and necessary
business expenses.  The Debtor's right to use the Cash Collateral
pursuant to the Stipulation and Order will commence as of the
Petition Date and expire on the earlier of (i) 21 days after entry
of the Order, or (ii) two days after the initial hearing date of
the Cash Collateral Motion.

In addition to the existing rights and interests of England in the
Cash Collateral, England is granted a security interest as
replacement lien in and upon the Cash Collateral in existence
prepetition and created or arising postpetition, as security only
for the actual amount of Cash Collateral used by Manufacturing.
The Court also ruled that no expenses of administration of
Manufacturing's bankruptcy estate will be charged pursuant to
Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, against the
Postpetition Collateral.

A hearing to consider the Cash Collateral Motion on an interim
basis will be held on Sept. 14, 2011.  Final hearing is on
Sept. 22.

DELPHI CORP: Asks for Leave to File Counterclaim
------------------------------------------------
Methode Electronics, Inc., seeks leave from the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York to file an amended
claim in Michigan against the Reorganized Debtor.

At the Bankruptcy Court's direction, Methode has reformulated its
proposed counterclaim and tendered its proposal to Delphi, but
Delphi has not advised whether Methode's proposal is acceptable,
according to Shalom Jacob, Esq., at Locke Lord Bisell & Liddell
LLP, in New York -- sjacob@lockelord.com.

Mr. Jacob asserts that cause exists to grant Methode leave to
file its amended counterclaim -- asserting a breach of a contract
that was executed after confirmation of Delphi's First Plan of
Reorganization -- in a state court in Oakland County, Michigan.
After all, the Michigan Court is the forum (i) that Delphi
consistently imposed on its vendor, including Methode; (ii) where
Delphi initiated its lawsuits against Methode; and (iii) in which
Delphi litigated the state-law issues extensively before and
after the Modified Plan was confirmed, he points out.  Indeed,
the Bankruptcy Court recognized the significant involvement by
the Michigan Court in the contract dispute and that Michigan was
an appropriate venue, he asserts.

"This is all the more true because the entire contract and
lawsuit at issue never would have come into existence had Delphi
merely disclosed that it had secretly sued Methode in the
Bankruptcy Court a year earlier for alleged preference payments,"
Mr. Jacob says.  Methode alleges that Delphi concealed the
preference action so that it would be lulled into continuing to
do business with a party that had just sued it for $20 million.
Delphi also procured various orders from the Bankruptcy Court,
including the administrative bar dates and a vague "injunction"
embedded within the depths of its Modified Plan.

Under the guise of enforcing those very same orders, Delphi now
attempts to use those orders as roadblocks to Methode's
counterclaim, Mr. Jacob contends.  However, Methode had no idea
of critical facts or its claims against Delphi while Delphi
obtained relief from the Bankruptcy Court and, thus, did not
receive "notice" thereof, he insists.  Having misled the
Bankruptcy Court and Methode, Delphi should not now be allowed to
avoid adjudication of its contract lawsuit on the merits, he
maintains.

                 Reorganized Debtors Respond

Counsel to the Reorganized Debtors, John Wm. Butler, Jr., Esq.,
at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, in Chicago,
Illinois, contends that the previous stipulation between the
Reorganized Debtors and Methode clearly bars any claim based on
Delphi's pre-bar-date conduct, including alleged conduct in
connection with entry into the supply agreement, and Methode was
fully aware of the preference action at that time it entered into
the stipulation.  Indeed, Methode has not put forward any legal
support to show that it could plausibly prevail on a claim that
the three-year term in the Supply Agreement renders the express
termination-for-convenience provision void, he stresses.

Contrary to Methode's arguments, the Bankruptcy Court is in a
better position than the Michigan state court to evaluate whether
Delphi made false representations or failed to comply with the
Bankruptcy Court's own orders, Mr. Butler asserts.  The
Bankruptcy Court has retained exclusive jurisdiction to
adjudicate claims like Methode's counterclaim, and there is not
compelling reason to transfer the claim to Michigan, he points
out.  Essentially, Methode's counterclaim is a claim for
administrative expense and is within the core jurisdiction for
the Bankruptcy Court, he insists.

Mr. Butler further avers that the injunction under the Modified
Plan applies to the Michigan Action.  The Bankruptcy Code
provides that the discharge of the debtor operates as an
injunction against the commencement or continuation of an action
to collect a discharge debt, he says.  As Methode concedes,
mandatory abstention applies only to claims in which the
bankruptcy court is exercising "related to" jurisdiction.
Because Methode's counterclaim is a core proceeding, there can be
no mandatory abstention, he adds.

DELPHI CORP: District Court Upholds Ruling on MFA Claim Denial
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Paul A. Crotty of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York affirmed Judge Robert Drain's September 9,
2010, order (i) denying the Michigan Funds Administration's motion
to amend and administrative expense claim against Delphi Corp.,
and (ii) disallowing and expunging the underlying claim.

In a bench ruling, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York found that the MFA's claim for 2009 was a
new claim, rather than an amendment and denied MFA's request for
payment.  In denying MFA's request for payment, the Bankruptcy
Court relied on the two-part test outlined by the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Second Circuit in Midland Cogeneration Venture
L.P. v. Enron Corp. (In re Enron Corp.), 419 F.3d 115 (2d Cir.
2005).  The Bankruptcy Court also examined the new claim under
the standard outline in Pioneer Investment Services Co. v.
Brunswick Associates, L.P., 507 U.S. 380 (1993) and found that
MFA should not be allowed to assert the 2009 Claim because it was
well within the MFA's control to file the 2009 Claim within
either of the two bar dates.

MFA alleged that the Bankruptcy Court "abused its discretion in
failing to recognize the continuous nature of the Funds
Administration claims and instead, chose to differentiate the
case law . . . on confusing and questionable grounds."  Judge
Crotty determined that the MFA's attempt to place its claims
within the auspices of In Indus. Comm'r of New York v. Schneider,
162 F.2d 847 (2d Cir. 1947) and Schneider and In re Sage-Dey,
Inc., 170 B.R. 46 (Bankr. N.D.N.Y 1994) by arguing that, like the
taxes at issue in those cases, its assessments under Michigan's
Workers' Disability Compensation Act or WDCA are "continuous"
fails.  In contrast to those two cases, WDCA assessments do not
accumulate as they accrue -- they can only be calculated
annually, Judge Crotty explained.  Accordingly, the District
Court finds that the Bankruptcy Court properly applied the first
prong of the Enron test and that it did not abuse its discretion
in treating the 2009 Claim as a new claim rather than an
amendment.

Judge Crotty mentioned that in the context of bankruptcy where
the court has approved a plan for the debtor's reemergence from
the law's protection, the bankruptcy court's bar dates must be
strictly applied.  The Bankruptcy Court clearly announced the Bar
Dates, and the MFA does not dispute that it was aware of them.
Against this backdrop, the MFA had the ability, as evidenced by
the 2009 Claim itself, to estimate or file a contingent claim
before the Bar Dates lapsed, and it failed to do so, the district
judge determined.  "Thus, this court cannot say that the
bankruptcy court abused its discretion in denying MFA's claim
under Pioneer," Judge Crotty opined.

Judge Crotty further found that the MFA's argument that its
"proposed amendment must be reviewed under the second prong of
[Enron]" rather than under Pioneer is meritless.  The district
judge held that it is clear that a creditor's proposed amendment
must pass both parts of the test in order for the bankruptcy
court to allow it.  The MFA's argument, however, ignores the fact
that the equitable analysis of belated amendments to claims
closely resembles Pioneer's excusable neglect analysis of belated
new claims, the district judge stated.

For those reasons, the District Court found that the Bankruptcy
Court did not abuse its discretion in denying MFA's request for
amendment and expunging and disallowing the underlying claim.
The District Court directed the clerk of court to enter judgment
and close this case.

DELPHI CORP: Court Grants ATS' Summary Judgment Bid
---------------------------------------------------
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
granted ATS Automation Tooling Systems, Inc.'s motion for summary
judgment in a case captioned Longacre Master Fund, Ltd. v. ATS
Automation Tooling Systems Inc.

Longacre Master Fund Ltd. and Longacre Capital Partners, L.P.
brought the complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New
York County and removed to the New York District Court on
October 21, 2010.  At issue is the effect of certain procedures
in Delphi Corp.'s complicated bankruptcy under the terms of the
sale and the location of risk under.  What is ultimately at issue
in the case is approximately $820,000 in interest on claim.


In July 2006, ATS filed Claim No. 15669 for $155,344 and Claim
No. 16415 for $1,983,000 against the Debtor.  ATS and Longacre
are parties to an Assignment of Claim agreement, whereby ATS
sold, transferred and assigned to Longacre all of its right,
title and interest in the claims for $2,138,334 filed against the
Debtor, for a purchase price $1,903,117, an amount equal to 89%
of the $2,138,334 claim amount.

In September 2007, the Debtor filed an adversary complaint
against ATS captioned as Delphi Corporation et al. v. ATS
Automation Tooling Systems Inc., Adv. Proc. No. 07-02125 (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y.), alleging, among other things, that ATS received
transfers from the Debtor in the aggregate amount of $17.3
million within the 90 days or to the Petition Dates.  In February
2010, the Debtor objected to the Claims pursuant to the 44th
Omnibus Claims.  In April 2010, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York entered an order.

In April 2010, the Adversary Complaint was unsealed and served on
ATS.  The Bankruptcy Court dismissed the avoidance complaints,
including the Adversary Complaint, without prejudice to Delphi
moving for leave to amend those complaints.  In September 2010,
the Debtor filed a Motion For Leave To File Amended Complaints,
including the Adversary Proceeding.  By correspondence dated
August 25, 2010, Longacre's counsel notified ATS' counsel that
pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, the "Possible Impairment"
had not been fully resolved by August 9, 2010 nor was the
Possible Impairment likely to be fully resolved within a
reasonable time and thus the Plaintiffs were entitled to a refund
of the Purchase Price plus accruing interest.

In March 2011, the Debtor withdrew the 44th Omnibus Claims
Objection with respect to Claim Nos. 15669, 15670, and 16415,
which withdraws any reservation of the Debtor's right to object
under Section 502 (d) of the Bankruptcy Code to the Claim sold to
Longacre and explicitly confirms the allowance of the Claim.  In
March 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered a Stipulated Order of
Dismissal with Prejudice in the Adversary Proceeding.

ATS has not remitted the refund payment demanded by Longacre
prior to the withdrawal of the 44th Omnibus Claims Objection and
dismissal of the Adversary Complaint, in the amount of
$2,265,929.  ATS has also not paid the amount demanded by
Longacre for $817,037.

The District Court held that an impairment of the Agreement would
occur if the Claim were in fact "offset, objected to, disallowed,
subordinated, in whole or in the case of any reason whatsoever,
pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court."  However, the 44th Omnibus
Claims Objection did not do any of those things, instead, it
preserved the Debtor's right to object pending conclusion of the
relevant Adversary Proceeding, the District Court opined.
Moreover, the Agreement affected a sale rather than a pure
assignment because, by its terms, while it transferred to
Longacre many rights the Claim, it also provided that ATS
retained rights in the Claim, the District Court continued.

Contrary to Longacres's allegation that ATS breached certain
representations and warranties as a result of the 44th Omnibus
Claims Objection or the Adversary Proceeding, the District Court
found that the representations and warranties were made as of
December 14, 2006, the date the Agreement was fully executed, and
do not purport to serve as a guarantee of the future.  The
District Court also deemed that since no impairment or breach
occurred on account of the 44th Omnibus Claims Objection,
Longacre's claim for indemnification for losses, damages and
liability is dismissed.

In conjunction, the District Court denied Longacre's cross-motion
for summary judgment.

DYNEGY INC: Moody's Sees 'Bumpy Road' for Dynegy, Creditors
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dynegy Holdings Inc.'s deeply speculative-grade ratings and
negative outlook reflect the extraordinarily high challenges
facing the company over the next 12 to 18 months, says Moody's
Investors Service in a special report on the company.

"The ratings reflect a high likelihood for default," said Moody's
Senior Vice President A.J. Sabatelle, author of the report, which
outlines broad strategies that Moody's believes the Dynegy board
and management will pursue in the wake of last month's corporate
reorganization and bank debt refinancing.

"While those actions lower near-term bankruptcy risk, default risk
remains high, and litigation risk is expected to increase," said
Sabatelle of Dynegy, which has a Caa3 corporate family rating, Ca
probability of default rating, and SGL-4 speculative-grade
liquidity rating.  "The new board and management team appear to be
pursuing a strategy that seeks to enhance shareholder value at the
expense of creditors."

The road ahead for Dynegy and its creditors "will be quite bumpy
with the direction and outcome of events over the next six to 12
months remaining highly uncertain," said Sabatelle.  "The company
will continue to struggle -- even if events such as the recent
credit facility restructuring provides a window of relief as
short-term liquidity-based default risk may have been reduced."

Moody's expects some form of a distressed exchange will occur at
Dynegy, and that a payment default will occur on its Roseton-
Danskammer lease.

The report highlights the uncertainty from a valuation perspective
of a Roseton-Danskammer lease payment default and outlines the
potential implications for DHI's senior unsecured creditors.

"Despite efforts to reduce indebtedness, total debt remains at an
unsustainably high level relative to sustainable cash flow
particularly for a capital-intensive commodity business," said
Sabatelle.  He said the options that appear likely to be pursued
by the current board and management contain substantial risks,
including continued litigation risk, over the next several years,
along with the continued prospect of one or more bankruptcy
filings within the Dynegy family.

"Despite the challenges, the lack of near-term pressure in terms
of maturing debt or another large funding obligation before 2015
gives some viability to the company's broad strategies," said
Sabatelle.

Like all unregulated power businesses, says the Moody's report,
the long-term viability of Dynegy and its subsidiaries will depend
primarily on a variety of macroeconomic factors, including the
demand for electricity, the price of natural gas and coal,
potential changes in environmental regulation, and other related
issues, most of which are largely beyond the control of
management.

ELEPHANT & CASTLE: Seeks to Hire Bellmark Partners as Advisor
-------------------------------------------------------------
Massachusetts Elephant & Castle Group, Inc., et al., seek
authority from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Massachusetts to employ Bellmark Partners LLC as financial
advisor.

A hearing was set by the Court for Aug. 31, 2011 with objections
due August 30, 2011 after the Debtors and the Committee of
Unsecured Creditors agreed to an extension of the Committee's
deadline to object to the Application.

The Debtors have agreed to pay BellMark a two-percent transaction
fee of a transaction's value up to and including $25 million; plus
three-percent of each incremental dollar between $25 million and
$30 million; plus 4% of each incremental dollar in excess of $30
million, subject to an overall minimum $350,000 transaction fee.

The Transaction Fee earned by BellMark will be withheld from the
proceeds of any Transaction, and if the withholding results in one
or more secured creditors not being paid in full from the sale
proceeds, the withholding will be deemed a carve out from the
collateral of the secured creditor.

GE Canada Equipment Financing G.P., in a subsequent filing, tells
the Court of its objection to the inclusion of the Transaction Fee
Carve Out, as the terms of a carve out for the fees of any
professionals retained by the Debtors or the Committee are more
appropriately addressed in the final cash collateral order, which
is still under discussion.

Prior to the Petition Date, GE CEF extended loans and other
financial accommodations to the Debtors and their affiliates
pursuant to a loan agreement and other agreements.  The
outstanding obligation of the Debtors to GE CEF is approximately
$21,345,000.  The Obligations are secured by first-priority liens
and security interests on substantially all of the Debtors'
property.

Accordingly, the proposed transaction fee carve out effectively
converts BellMark's administrative priority claim for a
Transaction Fee into a superpriority claim that would prime,
without the consent of GE CEF, the secured claim and Section
507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code superpriority adequate protection
claim of GE CEF, Charles J. Domestico, Esq., at Domestico Lane &
McNamara LLP, in Framingham, Massachussetts, explains.

"Not surprisingly, the Debtors cite no authority for any such non-
consensual priming and there is none," Mr. Domestico points out.

He notes that GE CEF is currently negotiating with the Debtors the
terms of a final cash collateral order that, among other things,
will address the amount and scope of an appropriate carve-out for
all professionals of the Debtors and the Committee, including
BellMark.

"At this juncture, no such agreement has been reached, and
consequently it is premature to seek approval of the Transaction
Fee Carve Out," Mr. Domestico asserts.

EXIDE TECHNOLOGIES: Wants Until Nov. 30 for Removal of FDEP Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Exide Technologies seeks entry of a court order extending to
November 30, 2011, its deadline for filing notices of removal
with respect to a lawsuit filed by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection.

The case, presently styled State of Florida Dept. of Environ.
Protection v. Exide Technologies, Inc., Case No. 2009-CA-8357,
was filed in the Circuit Court of Orange County, in Florida.

Exide seeks the extension to further investigate the claims
asserted in the lawsuit and to determine whether removal of the
lawsuit is appropriate, according to its lawyer, James O'Neill,
Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in Wilmington,
Delaware.

Mr. O'Neill says the company believes that the claims arose prior
to its bankruptcy filing, are enjoined or barred by prior court
orders, and are discharged pursuant to the order confirming its
Joint Plan of Reorganization.

EXIDE TECHNOLOGIES: Has Until Oct. 31 to Object to Claims
---------------------------------------------------------
Exide Technologies sought and obtained approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to further extend
its deadline for filing objections to claims to October 31, 2011.

The deadline for the company to file its objections expired on
July 31, 2011.

The proposed extension will give Exide enough time to review and
resolve the 48 remaining claims, according to James O'Neill,
Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in Wilmington,
Delaware.

More than 6,100 proofs of claim aggregating $4.4 billion had been
filed against Exide.  These do not include about 1,100 proofs of
claim that were filed as unliquidated claims.

As of July 27, 2011, approximately 6,069 claims had been
resolved, reducing the total amount of outstanding claims by more
than $4.2 billion.  Exide has already completed 25 quarterly
distributions to creditors under its confirmed Joint Plan of
Reorganization, consisting of distributions on approximately
2,625 claims for about $1.74 billion.

Since July 28, 2010, Exide has reached a number of settlements,
has filed individual objections to claims, and has generally
made considerable advancements with respect to the remaining,
more complex claims, according to Mr. O'Neill.

against the Company.

Exide is asking the Court to reduce and allow Claim Nos. 2936,
3028 and 5537 as a general unsecured, non-priority Class P4-A
claim aggregating $195,075.  The allowed claim will be
distributed in stock in accordance with the Exide's restructuring
plan.

Material Recovery filed claims against Exide to recover between
$250,000 and $300,000 on account of the costs it allegedly
incurred in the remediation of a site in Ovalo, Texas.

ENRON CORP: ECRC Files 27th Post-Confirmation Report
----------------------------------------------------
Enron Creditors Recovery Corp., f/k/a Enron Corp. and its
reorganized Debtor affiliates delivered to the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York, on July 15, 2011,
their 27th Post-Confirmation Status Report.

A. Distributions

John S. Delnero, Esq., at K&L Gates LLP, in Chicago, Illinois,
relates that as of July 15, approximately $21,826,000,000 in
Cash, PGE Common Stock and PGE Common Stock equivalents (in the
form of cash) have been distributed to holders of Allowed Claims,
including $267,000,000 of interest, capital gains and dividends.
All Disputed Claims have been resolved and all reserves
previously held in the Disputed Claims Reserve, including
interest, dividends and gains have been released.  The Plan
Administrator distributed approximately $100 million to creditors
on May 2, 2011.

As of July 15, the General Unsecured Creditors of Enron have
received 52.7% return on allowed claim amounts compared to
original estimates in the Disclosure Statement of 17.4% and the
Creditors of Enron North America Corp have received 52.4%
compared to original estimates in the Disclosure Statement of
20.1%.  The combined rate of return for ENA Creditors who also
hold an Enron Guaranty claim is 94.8%, excluding gains, interest
and dividends.

There are a limited number of pending litigation and collection
matters and contingent liabilities that continue to affect the
timing of the closure of the Enron bankruptcy case, Mr. Delnero
says.

B. Claims Resolution Process

Over 25,000 proofs of claim were filed against the Debtors.  The
Reorganized Debtors and, prior to the Effective Date, the
Debtors, have worked diligently to review, reconcile, and resolve
these claims (whether through settlement or litigation).  In the
third quarter of 2008, all Disputed Claims were resolved.  Of the
over 25,000 proofs of claim filed, approximately 5,653 have been
ordered allowed and approximately 2,333 have been allowed as
filed.  The remaining filed claims have been expunged, withdrawn,
subordinated, or otherwise resolved.

C. Settlement and Recoveries

The Reorganized Debtors collected approximately $5 million since
the 26th Post-Confirmation Status Report.  These amounts were
primarily attributable to proceeds received from litigation
settlements and the return of other deposits belonging to the
Reorganized Debtors.

D. Other Activities

The Reorganized Debtors continue to oversee additional various
Enron activities including:

  a. Document Administration and Disposal.  The Reorganized
     Debtors have completed their document destruction efforts
     in accordance with numerous orders entered by the
     Bankruptcy Court and an order entered by the District Court
     for the Southern District of Texas.  As of January 1, 2010,
     all of the remaining 43,000 boxes eligible for destruction
     and all electronic storage devices have been destroyed.
     Approximately 2,600 boxes have been sent to long-term
     storage in accordance with regulatory requirements, and the
     Reorganized Debtors have created electronic tape media to
     store the Litigation Document Library.

  b. Dissolution of Corporate Entities.  There are three
     remaining entities, of which one is a Debtor and two
     are Post-Final Distribution Trusts.

  c. Tax Return Compliance.  For 2010, a federal return will be
     filed that includes two entities, one of which will be
     filed as final for the year.  There is also one foreign
     entity with a filing obligation in the federal tax return.
     There are less than five state tax returns remaining.

  d. Resolution of Outstanding Litigation.  Four adversary
     proceedings remain pending in the Bankruptcy Court.  Two of
     the remaining matters relate to the Lay litigation where
     the Reorganized Debtors have reached a tentative settlement
     and on June 17, 2011 filed a motion with the Bankruptcy
     Court seeking approval of that settlement.  On July 1,
     2011, however, John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.)
     filed an objection to the settlement motion, which
     continues to be litigated by the parties. In addition, the
     Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a prior decision
     of the United States District Court for the Southern
     District of New York which granted summary judgment in
     favor of the defendants in the commercial paper avoidance
     action in a split 2-1 decision.  The Reorganized Debtors
     have requested en banc review of that Second Circuit
     opinion.  Also in 2011 the District Court affirmed the
     Bankruptcy Court's denial of a motion filed by National
     City Bank which would have required the payment of certain
     monies in the approximate amount of $8.6 million to
     creditors holding the Allowed ETS Debenture Claim under an
     agreement which NCB purports to provide most favored
     nations status in particular circumstances which the
     Reorganized Debtors opposed.  NCB has appealed to the
     Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

  e. On January 13, 2011, Enron received a letter forwarding a
     Directive and Notice to Insurers from the New Jersey
     Department of Environmental Protection.  In the Directive,
     the NJDEP asserts that Garden State Paper Company, LLC and
     Enron North America Corp. are responsible parties for
     certain contamination alleged to exist at a site formerly
     occupied by the predecessor to Garden State Paper Company,
     LLC.  Enron is investigating the matters raised in the
     Directive and its defenses to any potential liability, and
     Enron's counsel responded to the Directive on January 14,
     2011, requesting the withdrawal of the Directive noting
     that the NJDEP was aware of the potential liabilities
     identified in the Directive prior to the claims bar date
     and as a result the NJDEP should have filed any proofs of
     claim by the claims bar date. On April 8, 2011, the NJDEP
     responded to correspondence from Enron's counsel regarding
     Enron's Spill Act liability stating "the Department has
     determined that Garden State Paper Company and Enron North
     America Corp. are not considered to be a responsible party
     for the Spill Act Directive. . . Garden State Paper Company
     and Enron North America Corp. are hereby removed from the
     Directive without prejudice."  Although Enron's alleged
     Spill Act liability was discharged in connection with its
     bankruptcy filings, NJDEP has taken the position that any
     obligations that Enron may have in connection with the site
     that arise from the Industrial Site Recovery Act would have
     survived the bankruptcy as they are nondischargeable.
     Enron is investigating this matter further in an attempt to
     identify what, if any, ISRA obligations exist.

  f. On March 8, 2011, Enron received a letter from the
     Department of the Army Corps of Engineers for the New
     Orleans District which, among other things: (i) purports to
     terminate Enron's right to construct, operate, and maintain
     certain conduits (containing fiber optic cables) on
     premises in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana and (ii) demands
     that Enron vacate and remove all property from the premises
     and restore the premises to its original condition.  Enron
     had previously informed the Corps that Enron no longer had
     any need for the premises.  Enron and its counsel have
     informed the Corps that they believe Enron's obligations,
     if any, were discharged in connection with the confirmation
     order and therefore Enron has no further obligations.

  g. The Reorganized Debtors continue to be sponsors of pre-
     petition benefit plans which are entitled to receive
     distributions from the settlement of certain class actions
     securities cases, Tittle, et al. v. Enron Corporation, et
     al. and Newby, et al. v. Enron Corporation, et al., related
     to the Enron estate.  The Reorganized Debtors are awaiting
     final distribution of certain class action settlements to
     the benefit plans, which is expected in 2011.  The
     Reorganized Debtors have an obligation to administer the
     plans and fund certain expenses in connection with the
     plans until a time as all settlement distributions have
     been received -- and once the events occur it will allow
     for the closure of the Enron Case.  The timing of the
     distribution of class action settlement monies to the
     benefit plans is uncertain and the Reorganized Debtors lack
     control over such distribution to such plans.  In 2008, the
     Reorganized Debtors filed suit against Hewitt Associates in
     the United States District Court for the Southern District
     of Texas, asserting that Hewitt incorrectly calculated
     certain distributions made to participants from settlement
     monies generated in connection with the above-referenced
     litigation.  The parties recently reached a settlement
     covering the Hewitt-related claims and sought court
     approval of the settlement, filing the settlement agreement
     under seal with the Southern District of Texas.  By order
     dated May 11, 2011, the District Court approved the
     settlement agreement and further entered an order
     dismissing the Hewitt-related claims.

  h. Moreover, the Reorganized Debtors continue to perform the
     necessary accounting, control and reporting work required
     to effect closure of the Case promptly.

The Plan Administrator and engaged professional firms (a) support
litigation, (b) handle accounting, tax, cash management and
reporting for the three (3) remaining entities, (c) calculate and
control creditor distributions, (d) perform claims management,
(e) complete disposition of remaining litigation (f) oversee
wind-up of employee matters and benefit plans, and (g) oversee IT
and corporate services providers and non-litigation matters.

Based in Houston, Texas, Enron Corporation filed for Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 01-16033) on Dec. 2, 2001,
following controversy over accounting procedures that caused its
stock price and credit rating to drop sharply.

Enron hired lawyers at Togut Segal & Segal LLP; Weil, Gotshal &
Manges LLP; Venable; Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, LLP for its
bankruptcy case.  The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in
the case tapped lawyers at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP.

The Debtors won confirmation of their Plan in July 2004, and the
Plan was declared effective on Nov. 17, 2004.  After approval of
the Plan, the new board of directors decided to change the name of
Enron Corp. to Enron Creditors Recovery Corp. to reflect the
current corporate purpose.  ECRC's sole mission is to reorganize
and liquidate certain of the operations and assets of the "pre-
bankruptcy" Enron for the benefit of creditors.

ECRC has been involved in the MegaClaims Litigation, an action
against 11 major banks and financial institutions that ECRC
believes contributed to Enron's collapse; the Commercial Paper
Litigation, an action involving the recovery of payments made to
commercial paper dealers; and the Equity Transactions Litigation,
which ECRC filed against Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., UBS AG,
Credit Suisse and Bear Stearns to recover payments made to the
four banks on transactions involving Enron's stock while the
company was insolvent.


ENRON CORP: Fifth Circuit Upholds Merrill Exec.'s Conviction
------------------------------------------------------------
A three-judge panel of the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on
August 12 upheld a lower court's decision convicting James A.
Brown, a former Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. executive, on perjury
and obstruction of justice charges that stemmed from a bogus 1999
deal involving Enron Corp., the Associated Press reported.

Mr. Brown and two other former Merrill Lynch employees, Robert S.
Furst and Daniel Bayly, were previously convicted of conspiracy
and wire fraud and helping push through Enron's sham sale to
Merrill Lynch of three power barges moored off the Nigerian coast
in 1999, the report relates.  This made the earnings of Enron's
energy division appear larger, the report further relates.

Mr. Brown was a managing director at Merrill Lynch and head of
its strategic asset and lease finance group at the time of the
transaction.  Mr. Bayly was Merrill Lynch's former head of
investment banking and Mr. Furst was the firm's Enron
relationship manager.

The Fifth Circuit, according to the report, rejected Mr. Brown's
contention that federal prosecutors improperly withheld favorable
evidence in his case.  Mr. Brown's counsel, Sidney K. Powell,
Esq., at Sidney Powell, P.C., in Dallas, Texas --
sidneypowell@federalappeals.com -- told AP that she is going to
ask for a rehearing.

"We remain convinced the government failed to meet its disclosure
obligations," the AP quoted Ms. Powell.

AP notes that in his appeal, Mr. Brown argued that prosecutors
failed to provide to his lawyers before his trial the Federal
Bureau of Investigation's notes of an interview with Andrew
Fastow, Enron's former chief financial officer; notes of
congressional investigators' interview with Jeff McMahon, Enron's
former treasurer; and transcripts of pre-trial grand jury and
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission testimony from Katherine
Zrike, chief counsel for Merrill Lynch's investment banking
division.

In its ruling, the three judges said evidence submitted by
Mr. Brown was not sufficient to convince them of a "substantial
probability of a different outcome" of his trial, AP related.
"There was considerable evidence of Brown's guilt," the appeals
judges said, according to AP.

Mr. Brown was initially convicted of five counts and sentenced to
four years in prison, but three of the counts -- conspiracy to
commit wire fraud and two counts of wire fraud -- were overturned
on appeal, the AP related.

ENRON CORP: Kenneth Lay Not Found Liable for $3.91-Mil. Deficiency
------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Goeke of the U.S. Tax Court, on August 29, found former
Enron Corp. chief executive officer Kenneth Lay and his wife
Linda not liable for the $3.9 million deficiency determined by
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in their 2001 federal income
tax.

The deficiency is based on the Commissioner's determination that
the Lays received income as a result of the sale of two annuity
contracts to Enron.  The Annuity Contracts were previously
disputed assets in Enron's quest to recover fraudulent transfers
from the Lays.  Enron subsequently agreed to split them with the
Lays.

The Lays purchased the Annuity Contracts from Manufacturers Life
Insurance Co. of North America and paid premiums aggregating $10
million.  In February 2001, Mr. Lay stepped down as CEO but
remained chairman of the Company's board of directors.  When,
Jeffery Skilling suddenly retired from his position as CEO of
Enron in August 2001, Mr. Lay, at the Board's prodding, agreed to
return as CEO.

The Court noted that Mr. Lay held a very large position in Enron
stock because of the long-term incentives earned over the years,
and he had a major requirement for liquidity.  The Court pointed
out that the subsequent sudden collapse of Enron was
unanticipated by the Compensation Committee during the
negotiations with Mr. Lay in August 2001.  The instruments that
Enron would normally use for retention, stock options and
restricted stock, both were problematic, the Court held.

First, because Mr. Lay was over age 55 and had served for more
than five years, if he voluntarily retired all of his restricted
stock would immediately vest.  Second, Enron's stock plan
documents limited the number of shares, options, or restricted
shares that could be granted in one year in accordance with a
shareholder-approved plan, and there was not time to hold a
shareholder meeting to approve a modification to the plan.
Accordingly, alternatives for retention were considered.  At the
request of the Compensation Committee, Towers Perrin prepared
alternatives for the Compensation Committee to offer to Mr. Lay
for consideration.  The alternatives prepared by Towers Perrin
were based on the two Annuity Contracts owned by Mr. Lay and Mrs.
Lay.

The alternatives proposed by Towers Perrin were: (1) to lend
funds to Mr. Lay with the Annuity Contracts as collateral; (2) to
purchase the Annuity Contracts for fair market value; or (3) to
purchase the Annuity Contracts for fair market value and then use
the Annuity Contracts as a retention device by awarding the
acquired contracts to Mr. Lay with a "cliff vesting" schedule.
The term "cliff vesting" means that the award vests in its
entirety at the end of the vesting period, rather than vesting
ratably over the vesting period.

The Compensation Committee considered the alternatives and chose
the third alternative to purchase the annuity contracts, both to
provide immediate liquidity to Mr. Lay and to use the annuity
contracts as a retention device by providing Mr. Lay with the
opportunity to have the annuity contracts transferred back to him
if he met certain contractually specified requirements and
subject to a cliff vesting schedule.  The Compensation Committee
rejected the first two options proposed by Towers Perrin because,
although they met Mr. Lay's requirement for liquidity, the
options did not provide a retention device as required by the
board of directors of Enron.  Towers Perrin proposed a 4.25-year
commitment from Mr. Lay.

The plan approved by the Compensation Committee had two distinct
elements.  First, as part of the package of inducements offered
to Mr. Lay in exchange for abandoning his plans to retire and
agreeing to reassume the responsibilities of CEO of Enron, Enron
agreed to purchase both of the annuity contracts from Mr. and
Mrs. Lay for $10 million.  Second, as a retention device, Enron
agreed that if Mr. Lay neither resigned without consent nor was
removed for certain specified reasons as chairman of the board
and CEO of Enron before the expiration of a 4.25-year term, it
would reconvey the annuity contracts to Mr. Lay upon completion
of his service commitment.

The Lays accepted the offer to sell their annuity contracts for
$5 million each, $10 million total, and Mr. Lay accepted the
offer to earn back the annuity contracts as a long-term incentive
award if he remained with Enron for the 4.25-year term.
Following Mr. Skilling's resignation, the board of directors of
Enron elected Mr. Lay to the position of CEO of Enron.

Enron transferred $10 million to the bank account of the Lays by
wire transfer on September 21, 2001, in exchange for the two
annuity contracts.

The Lays reported the annuities transaction on their 2001 tax
return on Schedule D, Capital Gains and Losses, as a sale of each
annuity contract for $5 million.  Mr. Lay and Mrs. Lay each had
an adjusted basis of $5 million in the annuity contract sold by
him or her to Enron pursuant to the agreement.  The Lays reported
zero gain or loss on the sale of the annuity contracts, on the
basis of a sale price of $5 million for and an adjusted basis of
$5 million in each of the annuity contracts sold to Enron
pursuant to the agreement.  Enron issued a Form W-2, Wage and Tax
Statement, to Mr. Lay for the 2001 calendar year to report the
compensation it paid him; that Form W-2 did not include in Mr.
Lay's compensation any part of the $10 million that Enron paid
for the annuity contracts.  However, in 2004 pursuant to an
agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Enron issued
an amended Form W-2 to Mr. Lay for 2001 reporting the $10 million
as compensation.

On January 23, 2002, the board of directors requested that Mr.
Lay resign, and he resigned as chairman of the board of directors
and CEO of Enron with the consent of the board of directors in
February 2002.

When Enron filed for bankruptcy on December 2, 2001, it listed
the Annuity Contracts purchased from the Lays as assets on
Schedule B, Personal Property, of its Statement of Financial
Affairs.  The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Enron
filed a complaint and an amended complaint in the bankruptcy
case, to avoid the annuities transaction.  The complaint, as
amended, has been consolidated with the remaining insolvency
proceedings in the bankruptcy case and remains pending.  On
July 15, 2004, Enron's fifth amended plan was confirmed in the
bankruptcy case.  Pursuant to the fifth amended plan, the Enron
Creditors Recovery Corporation was formed as the successor to
Enron.  John Hancock filed a motion to intervene and file its
interpleader complaint in the adversary proceeding on October 20,
2010, alleging that ownership of the annuity contracts is
disputed between Enron and Mrs. Lay and requesting that the
bankruptcy court determine the ownership of the annuity
contracts.

The Court notes that because the Internal Revenue Service took
the position that the Lays owned the annuity contracts after the
annuities transaction, in order to test the status of the
ownership of the annuities Mrs. Lay asked for a partial
withdrawal of $50,000 from the Linda P. Lay Annuity that she had
transferred previously to Enron, in a withdrawal request form
submitted to John Hancock on February 8, 2006.

In response to Mrs. Lay's request, John Hancock did not pay the
requested withdrawal and instead responded with a letter to Mrs.
Lay describing issues regarding the ownership of the Linda P. Lay
Annuity.  In its letter dated February 15, 2006, John Hancock
described the agreement, quoting portions regarding the transfer
to Enron and the reconveyance obligation, the change form
submitted to ManuLife, and the fact that Mr. Lay had ceased
serving as CEO and chairman, then concluding it was unable to
determine whether Mr. Lay or Mrs. Lay had an ownership interest.

On July 5, 2006, Mr. Lay suddenly died, making Mrs. Lay the
Independent Executrix of his estate.  The Form 706, United States
Estate Estate Tax Return, filed for Mr. Lay's estate listed the
claim against Enron for the annuity contracts as a claim on
Schedule C, Mortgages, Notes, and Cash, and listed the claim of
Enron for the annuity contracts on Schedule K, Debts of the
Decedent, as a contested claim. Neither of the annuity contracts
had been conveyed to Mrs. Lay, or to the Estate of Kenneth L.
Lay.

The Court relates that neither Mr. Lay nor Mrs. Lay ever received
any distributions from either ManuLife or John Hancock with
respect to either of the Annuity Contracts.  No death benefit has
been paid pursuant to the Annuity Contracts on account of Mr.
Lay's death.

The Court therefore concludes that when the Lays sold the Annuity
contracts to Enron on September 21, 2001, they complied with the
requirements of the agreement and took the steps required to
transfer the annuity contracts to Enron.  The benefits and risks
of ownership of the annuity contracts were transferred to Enron
in the annuities transaction.  The Lays, therefore, properly
reported the transaction on their Federal income tax return as a
sale of the two annuity contracts.

The Lays timely filed their joint Federal tax return for tax year
2001.  On April 2, 2009, the Commissioner issued a statutory
notice of deficiency to petitioners in which respondent
determined a deficiency in income tax for the year ended December
31, 2001, of $3,910,000.

                         About Enron Corp.

Based in Houston, Texas, Enron Corporation filed for Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 01-16033) on Dec. 2, 2001,
following controversy over accounting procedures that caused its
stock price and credit rating to drop sharply.

Enron hired lawyers at Togut Segal & Segal LLP; Weil, Gotshal &
Manges LLP; Venable; Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, LLP for its
bankruptcy case.  The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in
the case tapped lawyers at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP.

The Debtors won confirmation of their Plan in July 2004, and the
Plan was declared effective on Nov. 17, 2004.  After approval of
the Plan, the new board of directors decided to change the name of
Enron Corp. to Enron Creditors Recovery Corp. to reflect the
current corporate purpose.  ECRC's sole mission is to reorganize
and liquidate certain of the operations and assets of the "pre-
bankruptcy" Enron for the benefit of creditors.

ECRC has been involved in the MegaClaims Litigation, an action
against 11 major banks and financial institutions that ECRC
believes contributed to Enron's collapse; the Commercial Paper
Litigation, an action involving the recovery of payments made to
commercial paper dealers; and the Equity Transactions Litigation,
which ECRC filed against Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., UBS AG,
Credit Suisse and Bear Stearns to recover payments made to the
four banks on transactions involving Enron's stock while the
company was insolvent.

FURNITURE DEALS: Commences Court-Ordered Liquidation Sale
---------------------------------------------------------
Furniture Today, citing Channel3000.com, the online home for WISC-
TV, reports that customers were able to redeem merchandise they'd
ordered after the seven-store Furniture Deals and Steals reopened
for a court-ordered liquidation sale to pay back creditors.

Furniture Today relates that a manager involved in the sale said
consumers were either able to get the furniture they ordered,
reselect, or get a charge-back on their credit cards.  "There were
definitely upset people, but they are really happy now," the
manager was quoted as saying.

A third-party company is running the liquidation, Furniture Today
says.

Furniture Deals & Steals abruptly closed six stores across
Wisconsin - including one in West Salem - in early July.
lacrossetribune.com disclosed that the state's Bureau of Consumer
Protection has since received 119 complaints from consumers
indicating losses of more than $68,000.  Most complaints allege
customers made down payments on furniture they haven't received.

The Fort Atkinson, Wis., based company entered voluntary
receivership in July claiming cash holdings of less than $3,000
and inventory of unknown value against debts of more than
$2.5 million, according to court documents, lacrossetribune.com
said.

GENERAL GROWTH: 30 Low-End Malls to Be Named Rouse in Spinoff
-------------------------------------------------------------
Kris Hudson of The Wall Street Journal reported that General
Growth Properties, Inc. ("New GGP") chose a perplexing name for
its planned spin-off of 30 low quality malls: Rouse Properties
Inc.

According to the report, the name is a derivative of Rouse Co.,
the high-end mall owner that GGP bought in 2004 for $7.2 billion.
However, the Rouse Properties will include only two malls from
the original Rouse Co., namely Southland Center Mall in Taylor,
Michigan, and Collin Creek Mall in Plano, Texas, the Journal
stated.

This prompted Citigroup Inc. analyst Michael Bilerman to ask
during the mall owner's second quarter earnings conference call
whether the Company chose the name in a bid to sprinkle some
high-end cachet on the spinoff's laggard properties, the Journal
related.  To which GGP Chief Executive Officer Steve Douglas
responded, "I've got no comment.  As good a name as any," the
Journal quoted the CEO as saying.

"The name is part of General Growth's history and synonymous with
creativity and innovation that has helped define the retail
landscape we know today.  The very principles the Rouse Co. was
founded on will endure in this organization," according to a
statement from Executive Vice President Michael McNaughton, who
will serve as the Rouse Properties' operations chief, delivered
during the conference call, the Journal added.

GENERAL GROWTH: Oakwood Suit Remanded to State Court
----------------------------------------------------
Judge Stanwood R. Duval, Jr., of the U.S. District Court for
Eastern District of Louisiana remanded Oakwood Shopping Center,
Limited Partnership v. Villa Enterprises of Midwest, Inc. d/b/a
Luciana Pizzeria, d/b/a Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen, Section "K."
to the 24th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson,
Louisiana.

Oakwood filed a "Rule to Evict Tenant" in the 24th Judicial
District Court seeking an order that Villa Enterprises must
"vacate Space No. 1710 at the Oakwood Shopping Center and deliver
possession thereof to Oakwood Shopping Center, reserving to
Oakwood its right to file lawsuit against Villa Pizza to recover
all past due rent and all rent that accrues through a judgment of
eviction."

Prior to filing the Rule to Evict, Oakwood filed a voluntary
petition for bankruptcy relief under Chapter 11 in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

Pursuant to Section 1452 of Title 28 of the U.S. Code, Villa
Fresh timely removed the Rule to Evict to the District Court
alleging federal bankruptcy jurisdiction pursuant to Section 1334
of Title 28 of the U.S. Code.  Oakwood filed a motion seeking
remand of lawsuit contending that because the eviction proceeding
is not a core bankruptcy proceeding and does not "relate to" the
bankruptcy, there is no subject matter jurisdiction over the
claim.

Judge Duval held that state law issues not only predominate in
this matter, they are the sole issues in dispute.  The federal
judge acknowledged that even though the District Court is
knowledgeable of Louisiana law and capable of deciding issues of
state law, the state court is better able to address the issues
raised herein and has more experience in lawsuits involving
evictions under Louisiana law.

Judge Duval further stated that the Louisiana Code of Civil
Procedure provides the state court with a streamlined process for
eviction proceedings.  Judge Duval said arguably the federal
court could fashion an expedited process for the eviction
proceeding, but no purpose is served in an expenditure of
resources when the state court already has a well established
streamlined process.  Moreover, remand of this matter would
eliminate any potential prejudice to Oakwood flowing from the
inability to utilize Louisiana's streamlined procedures and
remand would not prejudice Villa Fresh, Judge Duval held.
There is also no indication that upon remand the state court will
be unable to resolve plaintiff's claims on a timely basis, the
federal judge concluded.

Although Section 1447(c) of Title 28 of the U.S. Code permits a
court remanding a case to "require payment of "just costs and any
actual expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred as a result
of the removal" because federal jurisdiction over plaintiff's
claims existed, the District Court declines to order the payment
of those costs and expenses.

GROGAN ASSOCIATES: Down to 7 Employees, Gives Up Office Space
-------------------------------------------------------------
David Boraks at DavidsonNews.net notes that, in July, Grogan
Associates filed for protection from its creditors under Chapter
11 of the federal bankruptcy law.

"Most of this has been driven by our clients.  They have really
cut back on the amount of work that they're talking about doing,"
the report quotes owner Tom Grogan as saying.  "We had such a good
year last year that we were thought things were turning around.
But then...," he added.

As of July 7, Grogan had assets of between $500,000 and $1 million
and debts of more than $1 million.

The report says the Company had to give up its prime office space
in Main Street, which it leased from Stowe's Corner developer
David Stewart.  The firm now has shrunk to just 5 full-time and
two contract employees, working primarily out of Mr. Grogan's
home, off Shearer Road.

Mr. Grogan said the firm still has work, and it has proposals out
to new clients.  "Our intention is to bring this back again, and
build the company back up. We'll just have to see if the economy
cooperates with us," he said.

Based on Davidson, North Carolina, Grogan Associates Inc. filed
for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection on July 7, 2011 (Bankr. W.D.
N.C. Case No.11-31775).  Judge George R. Hodges presides over the
case.  Travis W. Moon, Esq., at Moon Wright & Houston, PLLC,
represents the Debtor.  The Debtor estimated assets of between
$500,000 and $1 million, and $1 million and $10 million.


GUIDED THERAPEUTICS: Inks Agreement & Release With Maloof, et al.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In October 2010, Guided Therapeutics, Inc., received a letter from
an attorney representing Dolores M. Maloof and James E.
Funderburke, each of whom are stockholders of the Company,
asserting, among other things, that an August 2005 Warrant
Agreement entered into by the Company and the Claimants  had been
modified by a subsequent agreement with the Company. While the
Company disputed the Claimants' assertion that an agreement
modifying the 2005 Agreement had been reached, the Company
determined to negotiate with the Claimants with the goal of
terminating the 2005 Agreement and the rights granted thereunder
to the Claimants.  The 2005 Agreement, among other terms, provided
for the Company to pay to the Claimants 7.5% of all net proceeds
from any license or sale of the Company's cervical cancer
detection technology, without limitation.

Upon completion of negotiations between the Company and the
Claimants, the parties entered into an Agreement and Release, on
Aug. 30, 2011, by which the Claimants agreed to terminate all of
their rights under the 2005 Agreement and release all claims.
Accordingly, under the Agreement, the 2005 Agreement and all
rights of the Claimants thereunder, including the right to receive
7.5% of proceeds from the sale or license of the Company's
cervical cancer technology, were canceled.  In exchange, the
Company agreed to issue warrants to the Claimants to purchase an
aggregate of 2.6 million shares of the Company's common stock at
an exercise price of $0.01 per share, to pay certain royalties
related to the sale of disposables in conjunction with the
Company's cervical cancer detection technology and to make certain
additional payments related to non-ordinary course asset sales or
a sale of the Company by merger, with such royalties and related
payments subject to certain "caps" limiting their amounts.

The Warrants are required to be issued on or before Sept. 13,
2012, will be immediately exercisable and will expire on March 1,
2013.  The shares underlying the Warrants are subject to a
Registration Rights Agreement, dated Aug. 30, 2011, by and among
the Company and the Claimants, which obligates the Company, within
60 days, to register the shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants for resale by the Claimants under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.  The royalties payable pursuant to the Agreement
by the Company to the Claimants consist of a two percent royalty
on gross revenues generated from the sale of disposables (only)
used in conjunction with the Company's cervical cancer detection
technology.  The cumulative royalty payable is capped at $7.2
million, and may not, together with the additional payments due in
conjunction with certain non-ordinary course disposition of assets
or a merger of the Company, exceed $12 million.  The royalties are
payable until the earlier of the sale of the Company by merger and
the sale or exclusive license of all or substantially all of the
Company's cervical cancer detection technology.  The Agreement
further provides that, in the event of one or more non-ordinary
course asset sales by the Company, or a sale of the Company by
merger, the Claimants will be entitled to an aggregate of three
percent of the proceeds therefrom, provided that the aggregate
payment due under this provision is capped at the lesser of $9.5
million and the amount by which $12.0 million exceeds the
cumulative amount of all payments previously paid to the Claimants
in royalties or by reason of prior non-ordinary course asset
sales.

The Warrants will be issued, and all payments under the Agreement
will be distributed, 70% to Mrs. Maloof and 30% to Mr.
Funderburke.

Finally, the parties to the Agreement released each other from any
and all claims they may have, other than claims to enforce the
Agreement.

Immediately prior to the issuance of the Warrants, Mrs. Maloof
beneficially owned 222,500 shares of the Company's common stock
and immediately exercisable warrants to purchase an additional
4,227,186 shares at $0.65 per share.  Assuming full exercise of
those warrants, as well as full exercise of the Warrants to be
issued to her, Mrs. Maloof would beneficially own approximately
11.50% of the Company's outstanding common stock.

Immediately prior to the issuance of the Warrants, Mr. Funderburke
beneficially owned 16,414 shares of the Company's common stock and
immediately exercisable warrants to purchase an additional 350,637
shares at $0.65 per share.  Assuming full exercise of those
warrants, as well as full exercise of the Warrants to be issued to
him, Mr. Funderburke would beneficially own approximately 2.31% of
the Company's outstanding common stock.

HELLER EHRMAN: Sues Wham-O for $2.3 Million in Legal Fees
---------------------------------------------------------
Ben James at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Heller Ehrman LLP
filed suit in California on Thursday claiming that Wham-O Inc.
breached a 2007 agreement by failing to cough up nearly
$2.3 million in legal fees.

In addition to seeking the allegedly unpaid fees, Thursday's
complaint asked the bankruptcy court to disallow a claim Wham-O
filed in the Heller Ehrman's Chapter 11 case in 2009, alleging
that the firm committed malpractice by withdrawing as counsel in
pending litigation, Law360 relates.

                  About Heller Ehrman

Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Heller Ehrman, LLP
-- http://www.hewm.com/-- was an international law firm of more
than 730 attorneys in 15 offices in the United States, Europe, and
Asia.  Heller Ehrman filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition (Bankr.
N.D. Calif., Case No. 08-32514) on Dec. 28, 2008.  Members of the
firm's dissolution committee led by Peter J. Benvenutti approved a
plan dated Sept. 26, 2008, to dissolve the firm.  The Hon. Dennis
Montali presides over the case.  Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP
assisted the Debtor in its restructuring effort.  The Official

and debts at $50 million to $100 million as of the Petition Date.
According to reports, the firm had roughly $63 million in assets
and 54 employees at the time of its filing.  The Court confirmed
Heller Ehrman's Plan of Liquidation in September 2010.


JEFFERSON, AL: Seeks State Aid for Budget Shortfall
---------------------------------------------------
American Bankruptcy Institute reports that Jefferson County, Ala.,
will ask the state to help close a shortfall in its general fund
budget for the upcoming fiscal year, as it also wrestles with the
possibility of filing for bankruptcy over $3.1 billion in sewer
debt.

                      About Jefferson County

Jefferson County has its seat in Birmingham, Alabama.  It has a
population of 660,000.  It ended its 2006 fiscal year with a
$42.6 million general fund balance, according to Standard &
Poor's.

Jefferson County is trying to restructure $3.14 billion in sewer
debt.  A bankruptcy by Jefferson County stands to be the largest
municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.  It could beat the record of
$1.7 billion set by Orange County, California in 1994.

In September 2010, Alabama Circuit Court Judge Albert Johnson
named John S. Young Jr. LLC as receiver for the sewer system.

Jefferson County has retained Kenneth Klee, Esq., at Klee Tuchin
Bogdanoff & Stern LLP to represent the county in the event of
bankruptcy.  Mr. Klee is considered to be a municipal-bankruptcy
expert, having handled Orange County, Calif.'s bankruptcy case in
1994.

A Chapter 9 filing Jefferson County would be the largest in U.S.
municipal history.


KERNER OPTICAL: Shuts Down After Chapter 11 Plan Failed
-------------------------------------------------------
David S. Cohen at Variety reports that Kerner Optical, the San
Rafael, Calif.-based models and miniatures shop that began life as
the original Industrial Light & Magic, shuttered after its Chapter
11 bankruptcy reorganization plan failed.

According to the report, The ILM models and miniatures unit
ushered in the modern era of effects-driven tentpoles. It grew
from the team assembled for the original "Star Wars" and moved
with George Lucas to the Bay Area.  But digital effects came to
dominate the industry, and by the middle of the last decade there
wasn't enough work for the models and miniatures unit from ILM
alone to keep it afloat.

Variety says Lucasfilm sold it to model maker Mark Anderson in
2006, freeing it to work with other vfx companies.  But CEO Eric
Edmeades, who acquired a controlling interest in 2009, said Kerner
Optical had lost around a million dollars a year since it was spun
off.

Mr. Edmeades, according to Variety, told employees last week in an
email that with the support of ILM, which had remained Kerner
Optical's biggest customer, management had tried to reorganize
under Chapter 11 earlier this year.

The report notes, however, one creditor objected to the reorg plan
and leveled allegations of mismanagement.  That was enough to
force ILM to award a contract to New Deal Studios instead of
Kerner for the first time.  That sunk the plan.

The report relates that Kerner's other companies remain open for
business, Mr. Edmeades told Variety.  Its Kernercam 3D camera rig
business will be hurt, as the sfx division was a client, but will
continue.  Kerner Pictures, the production division that hoped to
create a slate of 3D films, is alive but will also be hurt by the
closing of the f/x division.

The Kernerworks "skunk works" company, which makes a realistic
training dummy for trauma training, will also remain open.

Mr. Edmeades also said Kerner's research and development division
continues to undertake work for military and intelligence
contractors.

Based in San Rafael, California, Kerner Optical LLC is a contract
provider of movie special effects for Lucas films, commercial film
makers and event producers.  The Company filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection (Bankr. N.D. Calif. Case No. 11-10413) on
Feb. 4, 2011.  Judge Alan Jaroslovsky presides over the case.
David N. Chandler, Esq., at Law Offices of David N. Chandler,
represents the Debtor.  The Debtor disclosed $798,964 in assets,
and $4,315,208 in debts in its schedules.


LEHMAN BROTHERS: Court Approves Revisions to Plan Disclosures
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge James Peck of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York issued an order approving changes to the
disclosure statement describing the Chapter 11 plan of Lehman
Brothers Holdings Inc. and its affiliated debtors.

LBHI revised the disclosure statement in light of the settlement
it entered into with Lehman Brothers Treasury Co. B.V.'s trustees
and with its affiliates in Singapore late last month.

The settlement with the trustees calls for the allowance of
certain claims of LBT including an allowed "senior affiliate"
claim in the sum of $34.548 billion against LBHI in Class 4A.  It
also provides for the allowance of claims of Lehman Brothers
Special Financing Inc. and Lehman Brothers Commodities Services
Inc. against LBT.

The agreement with Lehman's affiliates in Singapore calls for the
allowance of claims asserted by the Singapore-based affiliates
against certain Lehman units and the U.S.-based entities which
are under their control.  The Singapore-based affiliates agreed
under the deal to support and vote in favor of the proposed plan.

Both settlement agreements are incorporated in the proposed
liquidation plan which, if confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court,
would enable the Lehman units to pay an estimated $65 billion to
their creditors.

LBHI also added a new provision clarifying that the disclosure
statement and the proposed plan do not affect the validity or
classification of the claims in the sum of $19 billion filed by
Fannie Mae against the company.  They do not also affect the
right of Fannie Mae to assert that some portions of its claims
must be treated as priority claims based on the rights, powers
and privileges of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, in its
capacity as Fannie Mae's conservator.

Meanwhile, the revised Disclosure Statement provides that the
committee overseeing the fees and expenses of Lehman
professionals will continue to exist after the effective date of
the plan.  Lehman will pay the fees and expenses of the
independent member and counsel retained by the committee,
according to the revised disclosure statement.

Full-text copies of the revised disclosure statement and the
Chapter 11 plan are available without charge at:

  http://bankrupt.com/misc/LBHI_RevisedDS&3rdAmendedPlan.pdf

Earlier, Judge Peck approved the disclosure statement which gave
the Lehman units the go-signal to start soliciting votes on the
proposed plan from creditors.  They need to obtain a majority of
votes accepting the proposed plan and a court order confirming
the plan to finally emerge from bankruptcy protection.

The bankruptcy judge is set to hold a hearing on December 6,
2011, to consider confirmation of the plan.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Debtor, Committee Wants JPM Claims Reduced
-----------------------------------------------------------
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors object to JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A.'s claims,
saying they are "significantly overstated."

JPMorgan filed claims against LBHI and its brokerage in
connection with the bank's role as triparty repo custodian during
the week of September 15, 2008, when the company filed for
bankruptcy protection and was negotiating a sale of the brokerage
to Barclays Plc.

The claims stemmed from the alleged $6.3 billion deficiency
following the sale of collateral pledged by the brokerage to
secure its debt related to JPMorgan's role as repo custodian.

Joseph Pizzurro, Esq., at Curtis Mallet-Prevost Colt & Mosle LLP,
in New York, contended that the claims should be reduced,
pointing out that JPMorgan did not dispose of the collateral in a
commercially reasonable manner.

The Lehman lawyer also argued that the losses incurred by
JPMorgan are due to Barclay's misconduct and that its dispute
with the U.K. bank had already been settled.

"LBHI should not have to pay for losses caused by Barclays for
which JPMorgan has already settled and received compensation,"
Mr. Pizzurro said.  He further argued that JPMorgan is not
entitled to interest.

The specific transactions regarding the disposition of the
collateral were not spelled out in the objection because of
JPMorgan's request for confidentiality.  Much of the objection
was redacted because of "commercially sensitive information."

In another filing, LBHI and the Creditors Committee sought court
approval to file an unredacted version of the objection, arguing
that the information concerns transactions that were made three
years ago and is not sensitive.

JPMorgan and LBHI are also involved in a court battle over a loan
which the latter provided to the company.  The company sued
JPMorgan early last year to recover billions of dollars that it
allegedly seized as collateral.

JPMorgan, which served as the company's main clearing bank in the
2008 financial crisis, allegedly threatened to discontinue its
services unless the company posted excessive collateral.

Judge James Peck will hold a hearing on October 19, 2011, to
consider the objection.  The deadline for filing responses is
October 12, 2011.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Court OKs Fraser Asset Management Deal
-------------------------------------------------------
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and its affiliated debtors sought
and obtained court approval of an agreement with WCAS/Fraser
Sullivan Investment Management LLC to manage their portfolio of
commercial loans.

The deal was hammered out in light of LBHI's plan to monetize the
portfolio by executing collateralized loan obligations (CLOs)
transactions and by selling their commercial loans to CLO
issuers.

As of July 15, 2011, the company and other Lehman units held
commercial loans issued by or equity interests in 157 issuers
with an aggregate principal balance of about $3.8 billion, and
unfunded commitments in the sum of $1.5 billion, according to
court filings.

Under the deal, Fraser Sullivan will be employed to provide asset
management and investment management services related to the
commercial loan portfolio.  Subject to market conditions, the
firm will also execute a series of CLOs involving at least
$500 million of loans no later than 180 days after the deal takes
effect and an additional $500 million of loans no later than one
year after the effective date.

A team of managers at LAMCO LLC that currently manages the
commercial loan portfolio will be tapped by Fraser Sullivan after
the effective date, according to the deal.

LBHI estimates that the total management fees to be paid to
Fraser Sullivan for the management of the portfolio will be
approximately $3 million for the period September 1 to
December 31, 2011; $9 million for next year and $8 million for
2013.

The deal also authorizes the Lehman units to sell commercial
loans to CLO issuers.  Upon the closing of CLOs, the Lehman units
that have sold their loans will receive cash and economic equity
interests in the CLOs.

The deal is formalized in a 32-page agreement which is available
for free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/LBHI_FraserDealCLP.pdf

Based on market conditions and the composition of the commercial
loan portfolio as of July 15, 2011, LBHI will receive about $1.6
to $2 billion in cash from the proceeds received from sale of the
multiple tranches of securities issued by CLO issuers.  The funds
can be used to make distributions to creditors immediately after
the company's proposed Chapter 11 plan takes effect, according to
Douglas Lambert, managing director with Alvarez and Marsal.

Earlier, LBHI sought and obtained court approval to file under
seal a schedule of its commercial loans, which reportedly
contains confidential information.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Epiq to Provide Additional Services
----------------------------------------------------
In connection with the solicitation of votes, the Debtors seek
the Court's authority to employ Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions LLC and
Epiq Class Action & Claims Solutions Inc. to provide voting and
tabulation services.

The move came after the U.S. Trustee, a Justice Department agency
that oversees bankruptcy cases, opposed the approval of the
solicitation process on grounds that the firms cannot be retained
as LBHI's solicitation agent without the company filing a
separate application for their retention.

Epiq will be tasked to receive and tabulate all ballots, consult
with Lehman and its professionals regarding solicitation and
balloting issues, attend hearings, among other things.

LBHI proposed to pay Epiq on an hourly basis and reimburse the
firm for its expenses.  Epiq's hourly rates range from $34 to $51

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Wants Turnover of Giants Stadium Documents
-----------------------------------------------------------
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Lehman Brothers Special
Financing Inc. ask Judge James Peck to order Giants Stadium LLC
to turn over documents related to its role as partner in a swap
deal.

The move came after Giant Stadium allegedly refused to turn over
certain documents that it shared with its financial adviser,
Goldman Sachs & Co., on grounds that they are protected by
"attorney client and work product privileges."

Earlier, LBHI served Giants Stadium with a subpoena to produce
the documents in connection with its investigation of the $301.8
million claim which Giants Stadium filed against the company and
LBSF.

The claim stemmed from the swap deal Giants Stadium entered into
with LBSF in connection with the $650 million in securities it
issued to finance the construction of the New Meadowlands
stadium.  The swap deal was reportedly terminated by Giants
Stadium after the Lehman units filed for bankruptcy protection in
September 2008.

In a related development, Giants Stadium has filed a motion to
allow its lawyers to participate when LBHI deposed Robert Taylor,
a former Lehman executive who negotiated the swap deal.

LBHI earlier told Giants Stadium that its lawyers could attend
the deposition of Mr. Taylor, which is scheduled for
September 27, 2011, but they are not allowed to ask the Lehman
executive any questions.

Judge Peck will hold a hearing on September 14, 2011, to consider
approval of the requests.  The deadline for filing objections is
September 7, 2011.

LOS ANGELES DODGERS: Can Borrow $150 Million MLB DIP Financing
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Kevin Gross has authorized the Los Angeles Dodgers LLC to
borrow $150 million from Major League Baseball, on a final basis.

The Debtor is authorized to use the DIP funds solely to:

     1. repay all outstanding obligations uncured under the
        Highbridge DIP facility;

     2. pay reasonable costs and expenses of the DIP lender;

     3. provide working capital for other general corporate
        purposes;

     4. pay administration costs of the Chapter 11 case and
        amounts authorized by Court order.

As adequate protection, the DIP lender is granted an allowed
administrative expense claim under Section 503(b)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

A copy of the final DIP order is available at:

                   About the Los Angeles Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers LLC operates the Los Angeles Dodgers, a
professional Major League Baseball club in the Los Angeles
metropolitan area.  Frank McCourt, a Boston real-estate developer
who unsuccessfully bid for the Boston Red Sox, bought the Dodgers
from Rupert Murdoch's Fox Entertainment Group, Inc. in 2004 for
$330 million.  Mr. McCourt also bought the Dodgers Stadium from
Fox for $100 million.

Los Angeles Dodgers LLC filed for bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D.
Del. Lead Case No. 11-12010) on June 27, 2011, after MLB
Commissioner Bud Selig rejected a television deal with News
Corp.'s Fox Sports, leaving Mr. McCourt unable to make payroll for
June 30 and July 1.  Fox Sports has exclusive cable television
rights for Dodgers games until the end of 2013 baseball season.

Chapter 11 filings were also made for LA Real Estate LLC, an
affiliated entity which owns Dodger Stadium, and three other
related holding companies.

The petition estimates assets of up to $500 million and debts of
up to $1 billion.  According to Forbes, the team is worth about
$800 million, making it the third most valuable baseball team
after the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox.

Judge Kevin Gross presides over the case.  Lawyers at Young,
Conaway, Stargatt & Taylor and Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP serve as the
Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.  Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions LLC is the
claims and notice agent.

The LA Dodgers is the 12th sports team in North America to have
sought bankruptcy protection, according to The Wall Street
Journal.

The reorganization is being financed with a $150 million unsecured
loan from the Commissioner of Major League Baseball.  The loan
gives the Commissioner few of the controls lenders often demanded
from bankrupt companies.

MADISON 92ND: Gladstone Seeks Dismissal or Trustee Appointment
--------------------------------------------------------------
Robert Gladstone, as co-managing member of the Debtor Madison 92nd
Street Associates, LLC, John Lesher and Andrew Harris, as members
of the Debtor, seek an order from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York (i) dismissing the Chapter 11
case pursuant to Section 1112(b) of the Judiciary and Judicial
Procedure Code, or, (ii) in the alternative, appointing a (y)
Chapter 11 trustee pursuant to Sections 1104(a)(1) and (2) of the
Judiciary and Judicial Procedure Code or (z) Chapter 11 examiner
pursuant to Section 1104(c)(1) of the Judiciary and Judicial
Procedure Code.

On behalf of the Gladstone Parties, Adam H. Friedman, Esq., at
Olshan Grundman Frome Rosenzweig & Wolosky LLP, in New York,
asserts that the case should either be dismissed or a Chapter 11
trustee or examiner appointed because the Debtor's purported co-
managing members -- 92nd St. Hotel Associates LLC, controlled by
Louis Taic, and JKNY, LLC, owned by Jeffrey Kosow -- have:

   (i) Filed the bankruptcy case without corporate authority in
       direct contravention of the provisions of the Debtor's
       Operating Agreement; and

  (ii) Breached their fiduciary duty to the Debtor and its
       members by "knowingly" violating the Operating Agreement,
       by Hotel Associates reneging on its commitment to sign a
       fully negotiated $86,000,000 stalking horse sale contract,
       which would have paid creditors in full and provided a
       significant return to equity, and engaging in a strategy
       to "squeeze" the Gladstone Parties to sell their
       membership interest at a steep discount.

"Immediate action is required, as the Alleged Co-Managing Members
are using the bankruptcy court to usurp corporate authority and to
advance their own agenda, to the detriment of their partners," Mr.
Friedman contends.

In fact, the Gladstone Parties learned one day before the filing
of this motion that the Alleged Co-Managing Members have
"secretly" signed a financing term sheet as "Key Principals" of
the Debtor, which attempts to remove the Gladstone Parties
entirely from ownership of the Debtor's sole asset, Mr. Friedman
tells the Court.

Just hours before the bankruptcy filing, the Alleged Co-Managing
Members purported to complete an illegal "hostile takeover" of the
Debtor, by attempting to remove Mr. Gladstone from his position as
Co-Managing Member and to replace him with Mr. Kosow through a
"Special Meeting" of the Debtor's members, Mr. Friedman says.
This is a clear violation of the Operating Agreement because
removal and replacement of a Co-Managing Member requires a formal
amendment approved by all of the members, he continues.

"The actions taken by the Alleged Co-Managing Members have no
legal effect, and the Petition they signed falsely represents to
the Court their status and authority," Mr. Friedman argues.

The takeover is contrary to the fundamental underpinnings of the
partnership, according to Mr. Friedman.  He relates that Mr. Kosow
is Mr. Gladstone's former employee, since terminated for cause,
who received his membership interest before his termination as a
bonus from Messrs. Gladstone and Lesher under terms that
specifically prohibit him from any participation in the Debtor's
decision making process.

Mr. Gladstone is the principal of Madison Equities LLC, the
development company which conceived of and developed the project
that included a 32-story apartment building at the corner of 1st
Avenue and 92nd Street, as well as the adjoining lot on which the
Hotel sits.  Together with Mr. Lesher, Mr. Gladstone is the
founder of the Debtor and creator of the Hotel.

Mr. Gladstone brought in Mr. Taic -- together with Michael
Fischer, the "Hotel Associates" -- as an investor/member after the
development project was long under way.  Before Hotel Associates
joined the Debtor, all decisions were made solely by Mr. Gladstone
as Managing Member.  Once Hotel Associates was admitted, all
Debtor decisions required the agreement of
both Messrs. Gladstone and Taic.  This included the General
Electric Capital Corp. mortgage, which made Messrs. Gladstone and
Taic personally liable if the Debtor filed a bankruptcy, and which
prohibited the removal of either as Co-Managing Member without
GECC's consent, Mr. Friedman explains.

Thus, the actions of the Alleged Co-Managing Members, in their
attempt to seize control of the Debtor, are not only impermissible
under the Debtor's Operating Agreement, they are contrary to the
very essence of the partnership, Mr. Friedman asserts.

Mr. Gladstone's removal and the appointment of JKNY in his place
was not authorized under the Operating Agreement.  Accordingly,
Gladstone is still a Co-Managing Member, Mr. Friedman says.  Mr.
Gladstone has not consented to this filing, and thus the Alleged
Co-Managing Members have filed this bankruptcy without corporate
authority, since the consent of both of the Debtor's Co-Managing
Members is required by the Operating Agreement.  Therefore, the
petition must be dismissed, he tells the Court.

Mr. Taic's hostile takeover is a bad-faith attempt to break a
deadlock between Messrs. Taic and Gladstone as the Debtor's Co-
Managing Members, Mr. Friedman contends.  Underlying the deadlock
is a fundamental disagreement that recently emerged as to how the
Debtor should proceed in the face of a $74,000,000 million
Consensual Foreclosure Judgment against it and how the Debtor
should respond to offers to purchase its Hotel, the Debtor's sole
asset.  Most particularly, at the last minute and after a
protracted negotiation, Mr. Taic refused to sign a fully
negotiated $86,000,000 stalking horse sale contract, which will
pay creditors in full and provide a significant return to equity.

This breach of fiduciary duty was compounded by Mr. Taic's follow-
up, brazen offer to buy out the Gladstone Parties for
substantially less than they would realize in the agreed-upon
Sale Contract, Mr. Friedman tells the Court.  Furthermore, it was
revealed shortly before the filing of this Motion that Messrs.
Taic and Kosow have secretly signed a term sheet for a "financing
alternative," which excludes the Gladstone Parties entirely from
ownership of the Debtor, he tells the Court.

Mr. Taic also ignored Mr. Gladstone's proposal that they agree to
a bankruptcy filing by independent counsel in which the two Co-
Managing Members could file competing plans of reorganization.  By
their improper filing, Hotel Associates and JKNY have now
endangered the Debtor and breached their fiduciary duty to the
company and its members, Mr. Friedman complains.

Alternative to dismissal, the appointment of a trustee is
essential.  Only an independent third party can cut through "the
acrimony, the self-dealing and the deadlock," evaluate the
alternative courses of action available to the Debtor, and
determine which course is in the best interests of the bankruptcy
estate, according to Mr. Friedman.

However, in the event that the Court holds otherwise, the
Gladstone Parties submit that the appointment of an examiner to
investigate Mr. Taic's conduct, the impasse, and the Debtor's
alternative strategies and to report the same to the Court is
warranted under Section 1104(c)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code.

In separate filings, Rivkin Radler LLP and Rosenberg Calica &
Birney LLP, both creditors of the Debtor on account of outstanding
invoices for legal services, pro se, join in the Gladstone
Parties' Motion.  Rivkin Radler and Rosenberg Calica represented
the Debtor earlier in 2011 and no longer represent the Debtor or
any of its principals.

The Gladstone Parties' Motion makes clear that there is a
fundamental dispute among the principals of the Debtor as to which
members have the authority to act on behalf of the Debtor and
whether the Debtor had the requisite authority to commence this
Chapter 11 proceeding, the Firms note.  It is also clear that the
deadlock of the Debtor's members has impeded its ability to sell
its single, most valuable asset -- the 32-story apartment building
located at First Avenue and 92nd Street in Manhattan, according to
the Firms.

The Firms further note that before the bankruptcy filing, the
Debtor's secured creditor, GECC, commenced a foreclosure
proceeding and procured a consent judgment.  The GECC foreclosure
action is stayed by virtue of the Debtor's bankruptcy.

The Firms believe that it is appropriate and necessary for the
Court to appoint a Chapter 11 trustee to objectively navigate the
various issues in this case with the best interest of the
creditors in mind.  The Firms, however, do not believe that
dismissal of this case is in the best interest of creditors as the
Debtor would be paralyzed in any efforts to sell the Building as a
result of the various "warring factions" of its members.  The
Firms also do not believe that it is necessary to appoint an
examiner, as the success of this bankruptcy "hinges entirely on
the Debtor's ability" to sell the Building at the highest and best
offer.

MAQ MANAGEMENT: Super Stop Fights Bank's Case Dismissal Request
---------------------------------------------------------------
Super Stop Petroleum I Inc. and Super Stop Petroleum IV Inc., two
of the four Chapter 11 debtors, responded to Branch Banking and
Trust Company's motion to dismiss the Chapter 11 case of MAQ
Management Inc. due to "bad faith" filing.

A hearing is set for Oct. 5, 2011, at 1:00 p.m., at 1515 N Flagler
Dr. Room 801 Courtroom B, West Palm Beach, to consider the bank's
request.

According to the SSP Debtors, they filed their petitions for
reorganization in good faith and with an honest belief that
through the coordinated efforts between themselves, certain
related and administratively consolidated debtors, and certain
related non-debtor entities, they could fashion a reorganization
strategy that would maximize benefit to the creditors of each
entity.

Thomas M. Messana, Esq., at Messana P.A., said BB&T's motion is
overly narrow in its analysis and opportunistically ignores the
complexities created by the intertwined relationships between
itself and the SSP Debtors and certain affiliated debtor and non-
debtor entities.

BB&T is the holder of a $9,966,000 loan associated with the SSP
Debtors, collateralized by all of the SSP Debtors' property
effective as of July 26, 2007.

MAQ MANAGEMENT: Bank Seeks Adequate Protection Payments
-------------------------------------------------------
Wauchula State Bank, a secured creditor, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of Florida to prohibit Debtor
Super Stop Petroleum, Inc. from using the cash collateral; to
compel Super Stop to comply with the Cash Collateral Segregation
Order, requiring the Debtor to continue the segregation of cash
collateral and provide accurate current budgets; to require Super
Stop to provide an accounting of all postpetition cash collateral
receipts and disbursements on both the SSE Lease and the Lakeland
Oil Lease to WSB; and to require Super Stop to make payments of
adequate protection to WSB.

Super Stop owns multiple gasoline stations/convenience stores in
southern and central Florida, which are operated by the Debtor or
its affiliates.  WSB has a first priority mortgage on the property
located at 3510 Cleveland Heights Boulevard, in Lakeland, Florida.

From 2003 to 2010, Super Stop executed and delivered certain
promissory notes and a certain assignment of rent.  The promissory
notes are secured by certain mortgages and mortgage modifications
on the Property.  On May 20, 2011, Super Stop executed and
delivered an agreement consolidating the total combined principal
indebtedness of the 2003 Loan, as modified, and the 2010 Loan,
with a remaining balance of $362,415.

Super Stop defaulted on the 2003 Loan Documents and the 2010 Loan
Documents, both as consolidated and modified, including for
failing to make the installment payment due on May 14, 2011, and
all subsequent payments due.  As of the Petition Date, there
remained outstanding a principal balance of $366,870 on the 2003
Loan Documents and 2010 Loan Documents, both as consolidated and
modified, exclusive of attorneys' fees, additional interest, late
charges, and other costs, Marta M. Suarez-Murias, Esq., at Breton,
Lynch, Eubanks & Suarez-Murias, P.A., in West Palm Beach, Florida,
relates.

Super Stop Petroleum, Inc. and Super Stop Express, Inc. entered
into a lease, dated Sept. 1, 2010, with a duration of 25 years.
Pursuant to the SSE Lease, the rent was to be $1,500.  No
documentation has been received indicating the termination of the
SSE Lease.

Super Stop Express, Inc. and Lakeland Oil & Food Corp./Mohammed
Kamrul Islam and Mohammed Kabir Hossain also entered into a lease,
dated Jan. 1, 2011.  Pursuant to the Lakeland Oil Lease, the rent
was to be $5,000.

At the Section 341 Meeting of Creditors held on Aug. 1, 2011, the
Debtor advised WSB's counsel for the first time that in fact no
rents existed and that there was in fact no cash collateral, Ms.
Suarez-Murias relates.

On Aug. 3, 2011, the Debtor's counsel notified all counsel that
cash had been segregated pursuant to the Court's Jul. 28, 2011
ruling and in anticipation of the entry of a Cash Collateral
Segregation order.  On Aug. 4, 2011, the Debtor provided a Cash
Segregation Statement indicating that, as of Aug. 2, no funds were
being held in the WSB DIP Account.

The Debtor advised that no rents had been received for April, May,
June or July as a result of certain rent concessions purportedly
given by either the Debtor or SSE to Lakeland Oil, SSE's tenant on
the Property.  However, no justification or accounting has been
given by the Debtor for the fact that no funds at all had been
deposited in the WSB DIP Account for rent due and payable from SSE
to Debtor under the SSE Lease, Ms. Suarez-Murias says.

Moreover, the Debtor's 6 month revenue expense budget, furnished
on Aug. 4, depicts only the rent on the SSE Lease, despite the
fact that all rents on the Property are rent, Ms. Suarez-Murias
tells the Court.  It is WSB's understanding that SSE is related
to, if not controlled by the Debtor.

It is troubling that rent concessions are being made by either the
Debtor or SSE while debt service to WSB remains unpaid for months,
Ms. Suarez-Murias complains.

On Aug. 8, 2011, the Debtor advised that $5,000 was on deposit in
the WSB DIP Account, which amount represents the amount of rent
owed monthly under the Lakeland Oil Lease.  However, despite the
specific mandate of the Cash Collateral Segregation Order, the
Debtor has failed to provide any budget for the $5,000 in the WSB
DIP Account.  Ms. Suarez-Murias says that an amended budget would
reveal the availability of funds to make payments to WSB.  She
points out that under the Lakeland Oil Lease, Lakeland Oil bears
much of the responsibility for the Property expenses, thereby
facilitation payment to WSB.

Ms. Suarez-Murias asserts that WSB's cash collateral is in
jeopardy.  The fact that the Debtor has leased the Property for an
under-market rent of $1,500 monthly to SSE, a related company
seemingly controlled by the Debtor, and that SSE is in turn
receiving $5,000 in monthly rent for the Property from Lakeland
Oil is a major concern to WSB, she tells the Court.

Further, the fact that no rent was received by either SSE or the
Debtor for the Property for April, May, June, or July underscores
the precarious position of WSB as to its cash collateral, Ms.
Suarez-Murias adds.

Additionally, despite vague discussions of adequate protection,
the Debtor has failed to actually tender any actual adequate
protection payments to WSB.  Due to (i) the "apparent
mismanagement" of the Property, (ii) the Debtor's failure to
provide a postpetition budget for the $5,000 monthly rent received
and to be received, (ii) the Debtor's failure to collect rents,
and (iv) inconsistencies with the Leases, Ms. Suarez-Murias
asserts that it is necessary for WSB to receive adequate
protection payments.

MARGAUX ORO: Use of Wells Fargo's Cash Extended Until Sept. 30
--------------------------------------------------------------
Margaux Oro Partners, LLC, and Wells Fargo informed the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas of their
agreement to extend the Debtor's cash collateral use until
11:59 p.m. (CDT) on Sept. 30, 2010.

The Troubled Company Reporter reported on May 23, 2011, that as of
the Petition Date, the Debtor owed Wells Fargo at least
$10,387,352 under the parties' prepetition credit agreement.

Pursuant to the final order dated May 3, 2011, as adequate
protection for any diminution in value of the lenders'
collateral, the Debtors will grant Wells Fargo replacement liens,
security interests and superpriority administrative claims status.

MARMC TRANSPORTATION: Files Ch. 11 Plan & Disclosure Statement
--------------------------------------------------------------
Marmc Transportation, Inc., filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Wyoming a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization
and an accompanying disclosure statement on September 1, 2011.

According to papers filed in court, the funds necessary for the
plan payments will derive from the sale proceeds already received,
the real estate lease payments and the proceeds of the pending
adversary proceedings.

Unsecured Claims, totaling $2,420,617, will recover 100% of the
allowed amount without interest.  The claims are assigned as Class
Ten under the Plan.  Payment of Class Ten Claims will be
accomplished by an initial distribution of $1,250,000 on the
Effective Date of the Plan.  This initial distribution is
anticipated to satisfy almost 90% of the undisputed and allowed
unsecured claims in thus Class.  The next distribution will occur
after Debtor's 2011 tax liabilities are determined, which
distribution is anticipated to satisfy the remaining amounts owed
on the unpaid allowed unsecured claims.  The other claims in this
Class, will be paid within 30 days after the final resolution of
said claims by this Court and any appeals.

The Plan also provides for these classification and treatment of
other claims against the Debtor:

   * Class One -- Wyoming Department of Revenue.  This creditor is
     a priority unsecured creditor.  The Plan proposes to pay this
     creditor $6,021 in satisfaction of its claim on the Effective
     Date of the Plan.  This Class is impaired.

   * Class Two -- Wyoming Department of Employment, Employee
     Services.  This creditor is a priority unsecured creditor.
     The Plan proposes to pay this creditor $13,071 in
     satisfaction of its claim on the Effective Date of the Plan.
     This Class is impaired.

   * Class Three -- Wyoming Department of Employment, Workers
     Safety and Compensation Division.  This creditor is a
     priority unsecured creditor.  The Plan proposes to pay this
     creditor $11,079 in satisfaction of its claim on the
     Effective Date of the Plan.  This Class is impaired.

   * Class Four -- Natrona County Treasurer.  This creditor is a
     priority unsecured creditor.  The Plan proposed to pay this
     creditor $13,615 in satisfaction of its claim on the
     Effective Date of the Plan.  This Class is impaired.

   * Class Five -- Internal Revenue Service.  This creditor will
     be paid as an priority unsecured creditor in the amount of
     $655,763.  This amount, plus interest at the statutory rate
     at the time of confirmation, will be paid on the effective
     date of confirmation.  The remainder of this creditor's claim
     will be paid under Class 10.  This Class is impaired.

   * Class Six -- Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc.  This
     creditor will be paid as a fully secured creditor in the
     estimated amount of approximately $25,000; which represents
     this creditor's estimated attorney's fees and collection
     related expenses.  This Class will be paid 30 days after the
     Court approves this creditor's application for attorney fees
     and expenses.  This Class is impaired.

   * Class Seven -- Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.  This Class will be
     paid on the Effective Date of the Plan as a fully secured
     creditor in the amount of $117,977 (as of August 11, 2011)
     with interest thereon at the contract rate (7.25% per annum).
     This Class is impaired.

   * Class Eight -- Summit Electric.  This Class asserts a
     judgment lien against Debtor's real estate, which lien may be
     avoidable.  This Class will be paid $33,332 in satisfaction
     of its claim on the Effective Date of the Plan.  This Class
     is impaired.

   * Class Nine -- Dave and Marcille Sundem.  This Class asserts a
     judgment lien against Debtor's real estate, which lien may be
     avoidable.  This Class will be paid $159,611 in satisfaction
     of its claim on the Effective Date of the Plan.  This Class
     is impaired.

The management of Marmc intends to reorganize, Cindy Richardson,
vice president of the Company, said.  Marmc could liquidate but it
is highly unlikely that any funds would be available for unsecured
creditors, she added.

MARONDA HOMES: Combined Plan & Disclosures Hearing Set for Oct. 28
------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Judith K. Fitzgerald of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Pennsylvania conditionally approved the
disclosure statement explaining the plan of reorganization of
Maronda Homes, Inc., and its debtor affiliates.

The Court will convene a combined hearing on the Disclosure
Statement and confirmation of the Plan on Oct. 28, 2011, at 9:00
a.m.  Objections and ballots are due Oct. 14.

Pursuant to the Plan, Debtors will continue in business with a
revised credit agreement in place with most or all of its lenders.

Under the Plan, all undisputed claims of creditors other than the
Debtors' secured lenders and equity holders are paid in full in
accordance with their terms or as otherwise agreed between the
creditor and Debtors.

All allowed general unsecured claims will be paid in full under
the Plan.  A large number (in excess of 90%) of the unsecured
claims as of the Petition Date have already been paid.

With respect to the secured lenders, owed of $89,770,349 as of the
Petition Date, the Plan proposes to pay the allowed prepetition
claims of Lenders in full through the Petition Date subject to an
offset to such amounts of $12 million.  The allowed claims of the
secured lenders, net of the offset amount, are paid in full under
the Plan but the claims of the Lenders are impaired because the
time for payment is extended from the maturity date of March 12,
2012, under the pre-petition Credit Agreement to Sept. 30, 2014.

Under the Plan, the Lenders are also given the option to
participate or not in the exit financing (in an amount sufficient
to make all payments required under the Plan and to operate the
Debtors' businesses following consummation of the Plan) provided
that a majority in number and at least 75% in amount due agree to
participate in the exit financing.  The maturity date of the exit
financing is the earlier of 3 years from the Effective Date or
Sept. 30, 2014.

Lenders electing to participate in the exit financing must agree
that their pro rata participation in and share of the commitment
under the exit financing will be adjusted upward to encompass the
pro rata share of any Lender that does not elect to participate in
the exit financing.

As consideration for the agreement, for participating in the exit
financing and for otherwise incurring the risks and obligations
relating to the restructuring of the Credit Agreement, the pro
rata portion of the Offset Amount for each Lender electing to
participate in the exit financing is reduced to zero.

Secured Lenders that elect not to participate in exit financing
retain their pro rata share of indebtedness outstanding as of the
Petition Date (subject to the Offset Amount) and are paid interest
monthly at the non-default rates under the Pre-Petition Credit
Agreement, and all unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid
interest is payable at maturity on Sept. 30, 2014.

The Secured Lenders Class is the only class of creditors under the
Plan that will be voting, and all other classes (other than
Equity) are unimpaired.

MCDONALD BROTHERS: Taps Northen Blue as Bankruptcy Counsel
----------------------------------------------------------
McDonald Brothers, Inc., seeks authority from the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of North Carolina to
employ John A. Northen, Esq., and his firm, Northen Blue LLP, as
the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel.

As counsel, Northen Blue will:

   -- give the Debtor legal advice with respect to its duties and
      powers;

   -- assist the Debtor in the operation of its business,
      including an evaluation of the desirability of the
      continuance of the business, the ability and means by which
      some or all of the assets could be refinanced or liquidated
      to generate cash for the payment claims, and any other
      matter relevant to the case or to the formulation of a
      plan;

   -- assist the Debtor in the preparation and filing of all
      necessary schedules, statements of financial affairs,
      reports, a disclosure statement, and a plan; and

   -- assist and advise the Debtor in the examination and
      analysis of the conduct of the Debtor's affairs and the
      causes of insolvency, among other tasks.

The Debtor will pay Northen Blue based upon the Firm's customary
hourly rates.  Mr. Northen's current rate is $430 per hour.  The
Debtor says that Northen Blue has not received any compensation
from the Debtor, except for a retainer:

   (a) Northen Blue received an initial retainer for $50,000, of
       which $13,140 has been expended in payment of prepetition
       services and expenses.  The unexpended balance of the
       retainer in the amount of $36,859 is held by Northen Blue
       as security for postpetition fees and expenses as may be
       allowed by the Court; and

   (b) The retainer deposit is and will be fully refundable to
       the extent not used in payment of legal services provided
       to or for the benefit of the Debtor.

Mr. Northen, a partner at Northen Blue, attests that he or any
member of the Firm do not hold an interest adverse to the
bankruptcy estate, and therefore, both he and the Firm are
disinterested persons as that term is defined in Section 101 of
the Bankruptcy Code.

McDonald Brothers, Inc., in Southern Pines, North Carolina, is a
building materials and services supplier that has been a family-

operations in North Carolina located in the towns of Southern
Pines, Siler City, and West End.  It sells its products and
services throughout the south-central region of North Carolina and
northeastern South Carolina.  Over the past few years, its
business has declined as a result of the depressed real estate
market and the recession.

McDonald Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. M.D.N.C.
Case No. 11-81363) on Aug. 22, 2011.  The Debtor scheduled
$10,540,708 in assets and $10,132,635 in debts.  The petition was
signed by Angus A. McDonald, Jr., president.


MCDONALD BROTHERS: Wants to Use BB&T Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------------
McDonald Brothers, Inc., seeks authority from the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of North Carolina to use
cash collateral through and including the effective date of a
confirmed plan of reorganization or liquidation, or the conversion
of its bankruptcy case to Chapter 7, whichever may first occur,
provided the Debtor may not use Cash Collateral for any purpose
other than operations in the ordinary course of business or the
payment of allowed administrative fees, costs or expenses,
irrespective of whether that purpose would be proper under
applicable law.

The Debtor entered into a prepetition loan agreement with Branch
Banking and Trust Company, which provides for (i) a term loan in
the principal amount of $4,606,909, and (ii) a revolving line of
credit in the maximum amount of $3,000,000.  The Loans are secured
by certain assets, including a first priority security interest in
all of the Debtor's existing and after-acquired accounts and
inventory, liens against real property and security interests or
liens against certain property owned by McDonald Family Farms,
LLC, Angus A. McDonald, Jr. and his mother, Virginia C. L.
McDonald.

John A. Northen, Esq., at Northen Blue, LLP, in Chapel Hill, North
Carolina -- jan@nbfirm.com -- contends that the Debtor is
dependent upon continued and uninterrupted use of the proceeds
from collections on its accounts receivable, the funds or accounts
generated by the sale of its inventory, and the rental income
generated from its property.  While the Debtor may have some
unrestricted cash in its accounts as of the Petition Date, the
Debtor will need to receive and use Cash Collateral to pay ongoing
costs of operating, insuring, preserving, and protecting the
business and property of the estate, he asserts.

If not permitted to use the Cash Collateral of BB&T to pay its
ordinary operating expenses, the Debtor will have to close down
operations forthwith, Mr. Northen tells the Court.  He insists
that that precipitous action, if required, would render
reorganization impossible and severely reduce the fair market
value of the estate, resulting in financial loss to all parties-
in-interest.

As adequate protection for BB&T, the Debtor proposes that the Cash
Collateral will only be disbursed in payment of costs and expenses
as shown in a budget.  The Debtor will also provide BB&T with a
continuing postpetition lien and security interest in all property
of the Debtor.

Notwithstanding any suspension or termination of the right to use
Cash Collateral, the Debtor will be permitted to carve out from
Cash Collateral or any replacement collateral.

METAL STORM: Partners with Seven Companies to Provide FPS
---------------------------------------------------------
Metal Storm Limited announced that Metal Storm, Inc., is a teaming
partner with seven companies that have received awards to provide
Force Protection Systems for Integrated Base Defence capabilities
for CONUS and OCONUS security of sites and personnel.

These Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contracts, issued by
the Department of the Army were in response to the Force
Protection Omnibus solicitation.  A total of 19 companies were
awarded a total of 21 awards.  Metal Storm, Inc., partnered with
seven of the successful prime contractors on the submissions
representing a total of nine of the 21 awards granted.

The Force Protection contracts have a budget of $997,000,000 to
allocate to the 10 objectives of the program.  No contract has an
allocated budget at this stage and prime contractors must now bid
on task orders to receive funding.

Commenting on the awards, Peter D. Faulkner, President of Metal
Storm Inc. said "Of the Army's 10 primary objectives, Metal
Storm's MAUL and FireStorm product lines are very closely aligned
with the Autonomous Unmanned Systems (Remotely Operated Weapons)
and Lethal and Non-Lethal response capabilities."

Metal Storm, Inc., is able to support the two objectives with
their MAUL (Multi-shot Accessory Under-barrel Launcher) and
FireStorm FURY weapons platforms and lethal and less-lethal suite
of munitions.  Based on Metal Storm's Electronic Ballistics
Technology, the MAUL, an individual weapon platform, and the
FireStorm FURY, a mounted Remotely Operated Weapons System, have
the ability to fire both lethal and less-lethal munitions at high
rates of fire.

"An ID/IQ Omnibus gives the Army the flexibility to rapidly
generate individual task orders against the ten objectives,"
explained Faulkner.  "We will be working closely with the Prime
Contractors who have chosen us for their team to identify and
capture task orders requiring our unique capabilities."

MINH VU HOANG: Chapter 7 Trustee May Amend Suit Over Asset Sale
---------------------------------------------------------------
Gary A. Rosen, the chapter 7 trustee for Minh Vu Hoang and Thanh
Hoang, was given 14 days to amend a complaint to assert a claim of
conspiracy to hinder, delay and defraud the estate, without
prejudice to the Defendants' rights, according to a Bankruptcy
Court's Aug. 31, 2011 Memorandum of Decision, a copy of which is
available at http://is.gd/voTrY1from Leagle.com.  Mr. Rosen has
filed a three-count amended complaint against Craig A. Parker,
Gemini Title & Escrow, LLC, and the Law Offices of Craig A.
Parker, LLC.  The Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss the
amended complaint.  In Counts I and II of the amended complaint,
the Trustee seeks turnover under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 542(a) of property
acquired by the Defendants post-petition.  In Count III, the
Trustee asserts a claim of co-conspirator liability for conversion
against the Defendants Parker and the Law Offices of Parker.

Prior to the bankruptcy filing, the Debtor engaged in a massive
asset-concealment scheme.  The Debtor purchased distressed real
estate at foreclosure and sold those properties at a profit.  It
is alleged that the Debtor continued that scheme post-petition by
selling -- without knowledge or approval of the Trustee or the
Court -- 10 titled in the name of sham entities so that she could
keep the proceeds out of the reach of the Trustee.  The amended
complaint claims that the Defendants conspired with the Debtor in
furtherance of this scheme, and seeks to impose liability for the
parties' post-petition acts.  On Aug. 25, 2006, more than one year
after the Debtor filed her bankruptcy petition, the Debtor sold
6412 Central Avenue, Capitol Heights, Maryland, which was titled
under Osher, Inc., a sham entity, for $1.6 million.  Central
Avenue was property of the bankruptcy estate and the sales
proceeds therefore were property of the estate.  The Debtor
requested the sales proceeds to be split among two of her other
sham entities: Sweet Wheel & Associates and El Caballero General
Partnership.  Parker and the Law Offices of Parker advised and
assisted the Debtor in connection with the structuring of the
Central Avenue sale.

The lawsuit is styled, Gary A. Rosen, Chapter 7 Trustee, v. Gemini
Title & Escrow, LLC et al., Adv. Proc. No. 09-853 (Bankr. D. Md.),

                About Minh Vu Hoang and Thanh Hoang

Minh Vu Hoang and Thanh Hoang filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr.
D. Md. Case No. 05-21078) on May 10, 2005.  They served as debtor-
in-possession until Gary A. Rosen was appointed as chapter 11
trustee on Aug. 31, 2005.  The case was converted to chapter 7 on
Oct. 28, 2005, and Mr. Rosen was appointed the chapter 7 trustee
and continues to serve in that capacity.

Pre-bankruptcy, the Hoangs engaged in a massive asset-concealment
scheme.  Since 1998, the Hoangs purchased distressed real estate
at foreclosure and sold those properties at a profit.  The Debtors
concealed those assets, through sham entities and paperless
transactions, in an effort to impede judgment creditors from
executing on any judgments.

NEWPAGE CORP: Files for Chapter 11 With $4.2 Billion in Debt
------------------------------------------------------------
NewPage Corp., the largest North American producer of coated
paper, filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Del. Case No.
11-12804) on Sept. 7 in Delaware.

NewPage is saddled with "burdensome long-term debt obligations"
arising from the Company's 2005 acquisition by Cerberus Capital
Management LP, which controls 80% of the equity.

The Company disclosed assets of $3.4 billion and $4.2 billion in
debt as of June 30, 2011.

The Debtors have $131 million in borrowings (excluding letters of
credit) outstanding as of June 30, 2011, under a senior secured
revolver plus has $101 million in letters of credit issued but
undrawn.  There is $1.77 billion outstanding on 11.375% senior
secured first-lien notes with Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee.
Second-lien obligations include $802 million in 10% secured notes
and $225 million in floating-rate notes, under which HSBC Bank
USA, National Association, serves as trustee.  In addition to $200
million in 12% senior unsecured notes, there is $498 million owing
on two issues of floating-rate pay-in-kind notes, both of which
HSBC Bank USA serves as trustee.

The company owns 16 paper-making machines operating in seven
plants in the U.S. and Nova Scotia.  The Company has 6,000
employees in the U.S., 70% of whom are represented by labor
unions.

NewPage, based in Miamisburg, Ohio, blamed its problems on "a
significant decline" in the North American demand for coated
paper.  Although this decline has impacted many of the markets for
the Debtors' key products, it has yet to result in a
counterbalancing decrease in the production capacity trying to
access those markets, says George F. Martin, president and CEO.

Mr. Martin adds that foreign imports from Europe and Asia, driven
by similar overcapacity in their own markets, continue to have a
negative impact on North American coated paper suppliers. This has
led to significant levels of market-related downtime and temporary
shutdowns, especially during 2008 and 2009.

The Company reported a $229 million net loss in the first half of
2011 on revenue of $1.79 billion, following a $674 million net
loss in 2010 on revenue of $3.6 billion.

Prepetition, the Debtors retained Lazard Freres & Co. to analyze
and determine whether an out-of-court restructuring of the
Debtors' balance sheet would be possible.  Lazard's efforts were
met with a general market unwillingness to provide the Debtors
with additional financing or to increase the Debtors' borrowing
base.

Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News, notes
that NewPage's statement Sept. 7 implied that a sale isn't in the
offing.  The Company said it intends to work with creditors on a
plan "that details how it intends to satisfy its liabilities and
restructure its balance sheet."

An affiliate, NewPage Port Hawkesbury Corp., a NewPage subsidiary,
is commencing proceedings under Canada's Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36, in the Supreme Court of
Nova Scotia, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.  It has named Ernst
& Young, Inc., as monitor in the Canadian Proceedings.  NPPH is
seeking authority from the Canadian court to restructure and
conduct a sales process to seek a buyer for its property and
undertaking.


NEWPAGE CORP: Business as Usual While in Chapter 11
---------------------------------------------------
NewPage Corporation disclosed that, to facilitate an orderly debt
restructuring and position the overall business for long-term
success, its corporate parent, NewPage Group Inc., and certain of
its U.S. subsidiaries have commenced voluntary cases under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  The cases are pending in
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
The company's Consolidated Water Power Company subsidiary is not
part of the filing.

Separately, the company's Canadian subsidiary, NewPage Port
Hawkesbury Corp., has brought proceedings before the Supreme Court
of Nova Scotia under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act of
Canada.  In order to maximize efficiency in both the U.S. and
Canadian Court processes, NewPage Corporation and NewPage Port
Hawkesbury Corp. have executed a Settlement and Transition
Agreement, subject to approval by the Canadian Court.

             Chapter 11 Restructuring for U.S. Entities

Through the Chapter 11 process, NewPage expects to work closely
with its creditors and other stakeholders in the U.S. to formulate
a Chapter 11 plan that details how it intends to satisfy its
liabilities and restructure its balance sheet to emerge as a
financially stronger company.  The company expects to continue
operating its U.S. businesses as usual throughout this process
with an undiminished focus on providing customers with high-
quality paper and employees with a stable and safe working
environment.  To help ensure it has adequate liquidity to achieve
these objectives and continue to operate and compete successfully
throughout the restructuring, NewPage has obtained a commitment
led by J.P. Morgan for up to $600 million in Debtor in Possession
(DIP) financing.

Additionally, NewPage has filed a series of customary First Day
Motions in the United States Bankruptcy Court that, subject to
court approval, would allow it to continue its U.S. employee wages
and benefits programs, honor obligations for customers served by
its U.S. businesses and provide additional protection to various
other stakeholders.  These motions are typical of the Chapter 11
process and are generally granted in the days immediately after a
filing.

"We strongly believe that the court-supervised restructuring we
began today is the most effective means of strengthening our
financial position and enhancing our standing as the leading
producer of printing and specialty paper in North America," said
George F.  Martin, president and chief executive officer for
NewPage.  "We expect to continue to provide our customers with the
exceptional service and high-quality products they have come to
expect.  We recognize customers have choices, and NewPage needs to
continue to earn their trust and loyalty every day.  We expect to
continue to run safe and efficient operations, be candid with all
of our stakeholders and act as a responsible community member both
during and after our financial restructuring."

Jay A. Epstein, senior vice president and chief financial officer
for NewPage, added, "A successful restructuring will allow NewPage
to emerge as a financially stronger company that is even better
positioned to compete and succeed in this dynamic industry
environment.  To this end, we fully expect to work productively
with our lenders and other creditors to develop our Chapter 11
plan as efficiently as possible.  We are confident that the DIP
financing we have secured will allow us to maintain continuity in
our U.S. businesses as we complete this process."

Intention to Commence CCAA Proceedings for NewPage Port Hawkesbury
Corp.

NewPage Port Hawkesbury Corp. has brought proceedings before the
Supreme Court of Nova Scotia in Halifax, Nova Scotia.  The
Canadian entity is in discussions with potential buyers and hopes
to complete a successful sale of the mill while under the
anticipated court protection.

On August 22, NewPage announced that it would take downtime at
NewPage Port Hawkesbury Corp. due to market and economic
conditions that had prevented it from profitably operating the
mill for more than a year.  NewPage Port Hawkesbury Corp. plans to
use funds arising from its Settlement and Transition Agreement to
continue a "hot idle" at the mill and preserve the value of its
assets while it continues discussions with potential buyers.

                      About NewPage Corporation

NEWPAGE CORP: USW Prepares to Assist Members Following Bankruptcy
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The United Steelworkers released the following statement today
after being notified that NewPage Corp., the largest North

constructively with us in order to preserve secure jobs for our
members and secure benefits for our retirees."

NUKOTE INT'L: Small Dollar Venue Exception Applies to Trust's Suit
------------------------------------------------------------------
N1 Creditors' Trust, v. Crown Packaging Corp., Adv. Proc. No.
3:11-0102 (Bankr. M.D. Tenn.), alleges that during the 90 days
before the petition, Nukote International, Inc., made payments
totaling $10,768.50 to Crown Packaging Corp., a supplier located
in Missouri.  The Trust seeks to recover those payments as
preferential.  Crown moved to dismiss for improper venue, citing
28 U.S.C. Sec. 1409(b).  Crown "resides" in Missouri and the
"debt" in question is less than $11,725.  Crown argues that the
Trust could only properly bring the action in Missouri.  The Trust
responds that a lack of parallelism between 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1409(a)
and 1409(b) preserves venue in the Middle District of Tennessee.

In a Sept. 2, 2011 Memorandum, Bankruptcy Judge Keith M. Lundin
said the small dollar venue exception in 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1409(b)
applies.  Because the defendant is a Missouri resident, venue in
the Middle District of Tennessee is improper and the defendant's
motion to dismiss for improper venue is granted.  A copy of the
Court's decision is available at http://is.gd/AvEIxJfrom

creditors.

The Debtors' representative must be present at the meeting to be

may be continued and concluded at a later date without further
notice.

OAKWOOD SHOPPING: Suit vs. Villa Fresh Remanded to State Court
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Stanwood R. Duval, Jr., of the U.S. District Court for
Eastern District of Louisiana remanded Oakwood Shopping Center,
Limited Partnership v. Villa Enterprises of Midwest, Inc. d/b/a
Luciana Pizzeria, d/b/a Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen, Section "K."
to the 24th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson,
Louisiana.

Oakwood filed a "Rule to Evict Tenant" in the 24th Judicial
District Court seeking an order that Villa Enterprises must
"vacate Space No. 1710 at the Oakwood Shopping Center and deliver
possession thereof to Oakwood Shopping Center, reserving to
Oakwood its right to file lawsuit against Villa Pizza to recover
all past due rent and all rent that accrues through a judgment of
eviction."

Prior to filing the Rule to Evict, Oakwood filed a voluntary
petition for bankruptcy relief under Chapter 11 in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

Pursuant to Section 1452 of Title 28 of the U.S. Code, Villa
Fresh timely removed the Rule to Evict to the District Court
alleging federal bankruptcy jurisdiction pursuant to Section 1334
of Title 28 of the U.S. Code.  Oakwood filed a motion seeking
remand of lawsuit contending that because the eviction proceeding
is not a core bankruptcy proceeding and does not "relate to" the
bankruptcy, there is no subject matter jurisdiction over the
claim.

Judge Duval held that state law issues not only predominate in
this matter, they are the sole issues in dispute.  The federal
judge acknowledged that even though the District Court is
knowledgeable of Louisiana law and capable of deciding issues of
state law, the state court is better able to address the issues
raised herein and has more experience in lawsuits involving
evictions under Louisiana law.

Judge Duval further stated that the Louisiana Code of Civil
Procedure provides the state court with a streamlined process for
eviction proceedings.  Judge Duval said arguably the federal
court could fashion an expedited process for the eviction
proceeding, but no purpose is served in an expenditure of
resources when the state court already has a well established
streamlined process.  Moreover, remand of this matter would
eliminate any potential prejudice to Oakwood flowing from the
inability to utilize Louisiana's streamlined procedures and
remand would not prejudice Villa Fresh, Judge Duval held.
There is also no indication that upon remand the state court will
be unable to resolve plaintiff's claims on a timely basis, the
federal judge concluded.

Although Section 1447(c) of Title 28 of the U.S. Code permits a
court remanding a case to "require payment of "just costs and any
actual expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred as a result
of the removal" because federal jurisdiction over plaintiff's
claims existed, the District Court declines to order the payment
of those costs and expenses.

OCEAN PLACE: AFP 104 Protests Adequacy of Disclosure Statement
--------------------------------------------------------------
AFP 104 Corp. filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey an objection to the disclosure statement
explaining the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization proposed by Ocean
Place Development LLC.

According to AFP 104, the Plan was filed in bad faith in a
strategic attempt to cram down AFP 104 for the benefit of the
Debtor's insiders.  AFP 104 claims the Plan, on its face, contains
many improper provisions and violates numerous provisions of the
bankruptcy code, thereby making the plan patently unconfirmable
because the Plan:

   a) violates the absolute priority rule by seeking to allows
      current equity to maintain its equity in the reorganized
      Debtor;

   b) grants illegal broad release and injunctions in favor of the
      Debtor's insiders;

   c) blatantly, gerrymanders classes of claims in an improper
      attempt to obtain an impaired accepting class, in disregard
      of controlling law;

   d) improperly treats AFP's claim, both in terms of payment
      terms that fail to comply with the Bankruptcy Code, as well
      as with respect to improperly modifying AFP's existing non-
      monetary protections, without providing AFP with any
      indubitable equivalent or other compensation; and

   e) lacks feasibility, as the plan is premised, among other
      things, upon a speculative future sale or refinance of the
      Debtor's hotel to satisfy the Debtor's payment obligation to
      AFP under the plan.

AFP 104 said the disclosure statement is woefully deficient in
many respects in that it is both misleading and because it fails
to provide necessary and adequate information.

                    The Chapter 11 Plan

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 12, 2011, the
Debtor has filed a Plan that provides that on or following the
Effective Date, the Debtor will receive up to $7 million in equity
and working capital.  Payments or distributions under the plan
will be obtained from cash from business operations, and from
capital contributions as set forth in the Fourth Amendment and the
Capital Contribution Agreement.

The Plan designates 5 Classes of Claims and Interests:

Class            Claim              Status      Voting Rights
-----            -----              ------      -------------
  1     First Lien Debt Claim      Impaired    Entitled to Vote
  2     General Unsecured Claims   Impaired    Entitled to Vote
  3     Other Unsecured Claims     Impaired    Entitled to Vote
  4     Indemnification Claims     Impaired    Entitled to Vote
  5     OPD Equity Interests       Impaired    Entitled to Vote

On or after the Effective Date, the Holders of Other Priority
Claims will be repaid in full by the Debtor or Reorganized OPD.

The Holder of First Lien Debt will receive a paydown of $5 million
on the principal amount of its Claim and, subject to the AFP Exit
Documents, will (i) retain its Liens on the Debtor's assets, (ii)
receive an amended mortgage and note in the amount of
$47,252,801.26 payable over 7 years at an interest rate of 4% per
annum and at varying amortization levels with a balloon payment at
the maturity date and (iv) receive an exit fee payable at the
maturity date under the AFP Exit Documents in the amount of 1% of
the principal amount of the new note;

The Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, other than
Holders of Other Unsecured Claims and Indemnification Claims, will
receive, on a pro rata basis, a share of a $500,000 aggregate cash
distribution on the Distribution Date;

The Holders of Other Unsecured Claims will receive no distribution
on account of their Claims and the Other Unsecured Claims will be
transferred to and become the obligation of Tiburon Ocean Place
LLC on the Effective Date;

The Holders of Indemnification Claims will have their Claims
reinstated against the Reorganized OPD to the extent that such
Claims become Allowed.

Tiburon's outstanding OPD Equity Interest will not receive any
cash distribution on account of such Interest; provided, however,
that in exchange for its assumption of Other Unsecured Claims and
contributions to the Chapter 11 Case and the Plan, on the
Effective Date, Tiburon's Equity Interests will be restructured
and diluted in accordance with the terms of the Fourth Amendment,
the Fifth Amendment and the Capital Contribution Agreement.

bought the Debtor's ethanol plant for a base price of $55 million
cash and total consideration of $60.1 million including $4.4
million for inventory.  The sale fully paid about $54 million in
secured debt, leaving a municipal bond trustee and the county with
about $12.2 million in deficiency claims for infrastructure
improvements.  Other general unsecured claims amount to some
$435,000, the disclosure statement said.

Mr. Rochelle disclosed that, according to the disclosure
statement, there will be about $2.5 million cash remaining for
distribution after expenses are paid, the disclosure statement
said.  Before the sale, Otter Tail negotiated a consensual
reorganization plan with most of its larger creditors.
The plan didn't fly because the company was unable to raise the
required $12.5 million in equity.

PATIO MARKET: Court Wants Plan Outline Revised
----------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Thomas J. Tucker declined to approve the
disclosure statement explaining Patio Market, Inc.'s Combined
Disclosure Statement and Plan of Reorganization filed Aug. 31,
2011, citing a list of problems that the Debtor must correct.
Among other things, the Court said that with respect to the
secured claims of the Wayne County/Charter Township of Brownstown;
Advance-Me, Inc.; Alliance Financial LLC; and Charter One, the
Debtor must state the amount of the claim; the property securing
the claim (if real estate, the full address, including city and
state); and the fair market value of the property securing the
claim.  These things must be stated in the Plan and Disclosure
Statement, not just in the Liquidation Analysis.  The amendments
were due Sept. 6.  A copy of the Court's Sept. 1, 2011 Order is
available at http://is.gd/x9CsLKfrom Leagle.com.

Rockwood, Michigan-based Patio Market, Inc., filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy (Bankr. E.D. Mich. Case No. 11-52851) on May 3, 2011.

Debtor's counsel.  In its petition, the Debtor estimated $500,001
to $1 million in assets and $1 million to $10 million in debts.
The petition was signed by George Shammas, president.


PERKINS & MARIE: Files Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization
----------------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reports that Perkins & Marie Callender's filed
with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court an Amended Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization and First Amended Disclosure Statement.

According to the Disclosure Statement, "Solely for purposes of the
Plan, the estimated range of reorganization value from operations
of the Reorganized Debtors is assumed to be approximately $161
million to $208 million, with an approximate mean value of $177
million, as of an assumed emergence date of November 15, 2011. The
estimated range of the reorganization value from operations of the
Reorganized Debtors does not include any value for tax attributes
that may or may not be available in the future. Based upon the
assumed range of the reorganization value from operations of the
Reorganized Debtors of $161 million to $208 million and an assumed
total funded debt amount of approximately $118.3 million, Whitby
Santarlasci has determined an imputed estimate of the range of
equity value for the Reorganized Debtors of between $43 million
and $90 million, with an approximate mean value of $59 million."

The Court scheduled an Oct. 31, 2011, confirmation hearing.

PETTERS GROUP: 8th Cir. Says Suit Not Barred by Receivership Order
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ritchie Capital Management, L.L.C.; Ritchie Special Credit
Investments, Ltd.; Rhone Holdings II, Ltd.; Yorkville Investments,
I, LLC; and Ritchie Capital Structure Arbitrage Trading, Ltd.,
Appellants, v. Mary Jeffries and Camille Chee-Awai, Appellees, No.
10-2568 (8th Cir.), represents a fallout from a $3.65 billion
Ponzi scheme perpetrated by Minnesota businessman Thomas J.
Petters. Ritchie Capital Management, LLC, and the other appellants
are investment funds who, like other creditors of Petters and his
companies, incurred substantial losses as a result of
participating in Petters' investment scheme.  Neither Petters nor
his companies are named as defendants in the action, however.
Instead, Ritchie is suing two officers of Petters' companies, Mary
Jeffries and Camille Chee-Awai, alleging they assisted Petters in
getting Ritchie to loan over $100 million to Petters Group
Worldwide, LLC, by representing the loans would be adequately
secured by the assets of the Polaroid Corporation.  Ritchie's
five-count complaint alleges violations of the Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1962(a),
(c)-(d), common law fraud, and tortious interference with the
contract.

The omission of Petters and his companies from the case caption is
not accidental.  They were placed in the receivership proceedings,
which are still ongoing in the District of Minnesota, and the
receivership court prohibited commencement of any new actions
"interfer[ing] with the exclusive jurisdiction of [the
receivership court] over the assets or documents of Defendants,"
absent leave of the court.  Ritchie thought it could bypass this
anti-suit injunction if it sued other individuals who, it alleged,
were actively involved in the fraud.  The district court
disagreed, and dismissed Ritchie's case on account of the
receivership court's anti-suit injunction.

In a Sept. 6, 2011 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Eighth Circuit held that the district court erred in concluding
Ritchie's action was barred by the Receivership Order.  According
to Circuit Judge Kermit Edward Bye, considered on a textual level,
the order did not bar all actions that merely called for
interpretation of documents in the receiver's possession unless
this exercise ultimately threatened the receivership assets.  Nor
did the receivership court have the power to cast its anti-suit
injunction net that broadly because its equitable powers were
circumscribed by its duty to protect the receivership assets.  The
Eighth Circuit also rejected Jeffries's and Chee-Awai's
alternative argument challenging the sufficiency of Ritchie's
pleadings in the common law fraud count.  The appellate court
declined to address their arguments related to abstention, lack of
causation, and absolute privilege.  Accordingly, the Eighth
Circuit reversed the judgment of the district court and remanded
for further proceedings.

The appellate panel consists of Circuit Judges Bye, Roger Leland
Wollman, and Bobby E. Shepherd.  A copy of the decision is
available at http://is.gd/IE9rMFfrom Leagle.com.

                        About Petters Group

Over many years, Thomas Petters used various wholly owned, special
purpose entities, including Minnetonka, Minn.-based Petters
Company Inc. -- PCI -- Petters Group Worldwide LLC -- PGW -- and
PAC Funding LLC -- PAC Funding -- to carry out a fraudulent
investment scheme.  PCI obtained capital for the Petters
enterprises on its own account and by using the special purpose
entities to obtain billions of dollars of funding. Petters and his
entities led investor-lenders to believe that their loans were
being used to purchase electronics and other merchandise from
wholesalers to be resold to "big box" retailers.  The loans were
purportedly secured by purchase orders.  But the merchandise and
inventory supposedly being bought with the investors' funds were
nonexistent, and the purchase orders and related documents that
were supposed to serve as security were fabricated. As in the
prototypical Ponzi scheme, investors were not repaid with earnings
from their investments, but instead with funds Petters obtained
from other investors.  In addition, Petters used investor funds to
purchase the well-known Polaroid camera brand in 2005.

On Sept. 24, 2008, the FBI and other federal agencies executed
search warrants at multiple locations and seized records of
Petters, PCI, PGW and other Petters entities.  On Oct. 3, 2008,
Petters was arrested. He was charged with and found guilty of
numerous federal criminal offenses and was sentenced to 50 years
in prison.

At the time the PCI case was filed it was the largest Ponzi
scheme.  It has since been eclipsed by the Bernard Madoff
investment case currently pending in the Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York.

               Federal Receivership and Bankruptcies

On Oct. 2, 2008, the United States Government filed a complaint
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1345 and sought an asset freeze and
receivership for the benefit of the victims of the Petters fraud.
On Oct. 6, 2008, Judge Ann D. Montgomery of the United States
District Court for the District of Minnesota, in United States v.
Thomas Joseph Petters, et al., Civil Case No. 08-05248, appointed
Douglas A. Kelley as the receiver for Petters, PCI and PGW, as
well as entities 100% owned or controlled by them.

PCI, PGW, and PAC Funding were all receivership entities at one
time. The receivership court specifically granted Kelley authority
to file bankruptcy petitions for any of the receivership entities
to protect and preserve their assets. In October 2008 Kelley filed
Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions for PCI, PGW, PAC Funding, and
several other Petters entities. These cases have been consolidated
for purposes of joint administration under In re Petters Company,
Inc., et al., Case No. 08-45257, and Kelley was appointed as the
trustee in all of these cases.  An Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors was also appointed and has been actively involved in the
PCI Bankruptcy Cases.  The PCI Bankruptcy Cases are pending before
Judge Gregory F. Kishel of the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Minnesota.

Judge Kishel also presides over the related bankruptcy cases of
PBE Corporation and PBE Consumer Electronics, LLC, formerly known
as Polaroid Corporation and Polaroid Consumer Electronics, LLC.
The Polaroid Bankruptcy Cases were commenced in December 2008 and
operated as Chapter 11 debtors-in-possession. They were jointly
administered under In re Polaroid Corporation, et al., Case No.
08-46617, and in April 2009, substantially all of Polaroid's
assets were sold pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 363, generating
approximately $87 million for the Polaroid Bankruptcy Estates.
The Polaroid Bankruptcy Cases were voluntarily converted to
Chapter 7 on Sept. 1, 2009.  John R. Stoebner was appointed as the
Chapter 7 trustee of the Polaroid Bankruptcy Estates.

Petters Aviation, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Elite
Landings, LLC, were initially excluded from the Receivership, but
they ultimately filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Judge Robert J. Kressel of the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota presides
over these cases; they are captioned In re Petters Aviation, LLC,
No. 08-45136 and In re Elite Landings, LLC, Case No. 08-45210.

REITTER CORP: Wants Until Sept. 14 to File Amended Plan Outline
---------------------------------------------------------------
Reitter Corporation asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Puerto Rico to extend until Sept. 14, 2011, its time
to file an amended disclosure statement.

In its request for extension, the Debtor related that CPA
Carrasquillo needs more time in order to conclude its feasibility
report regarding the Debtor's proposed plan of reorganization.
Further, a meeting with Debtor's main creditor, Banco Popular, is
needed in order to try to reach an agreement and file a consensual
plan.

The Debtor had previously received several extensions of the
deadline.  In the latest extension, it was granted until Aug. 31,
2011, to file its amended disclosure statement.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 18, the
Debtor filed with the Court a proposed Chapter 11 plan and a
disclosure statement explaining the plan.  Under the plan, Reitter
proposed to make payments to its creditors which primarily consist
of:

  (i) payment of all administrative expenses on the later of the
      effective date of the plan and the date those claims become
      allowed;

(ii) monthly payment of 100% of all allowed priority tax claims
      to be made within the sixth year of the date of assessment
      of each particular claim;

(iii) payment of 100% of all claims from holders of executory
      contracts that are being assumed by Reitter;

(iv) payment of approximately 2.8% of allowed unsecured claims
      in 60 monthly payments to begin 30 days after the effective
      date of the plan;

Reitter will also continue to pay its secured creditor, Banco
Popular, under an agreed upon payment scheme.

The effective date of the proposed plan will be 120 days after an
order confirming the plan is final and unappealable.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Patrick S. Layng, the United States Trustee for Region 10, asks
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois to
dismiss River East Plaza, LLC's Chapter 11 case.

The U.S. Trustee relates that on Aug. 9, 2011, the stay was lifted
on the Debtor's principal asset.  As a result, the Debtor has
nothing left to reorganize and there is no reasonable likelihood
of rehabilitation.

U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois to
deny River East Plaza, LLC's request to extend until Oct. 24,
2011, its exclusive period to solicit acceptances of the proposed
plan of reorganization.

The Debtor's exclusive solicitation period expired on Aug. 9.

According to LNV Corp., the Court granted LNV Corp.'s motion to
lift the stay on the ground that the Debtor had not filed a plan
that had a reasonable prospect of being confirmed, and the U.S.
Trustee filed a motion to dismiss the case.

LNV Corp. also notes that the Debtor's  exclusive period to
solicit the Debtor's plan serves no purpose.  The Debtor, LNV
Corp. adds, cannot show requisite cause for the requested
extension and must be denied as moot.

RUMSEY LAND: Wants Court to Dismiss Chapter 11 Case
---------------------------------------------------
Rumsey Land Co. LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Colorado to dismiss its Chapter 11 case.

According to the Debtor, the transfer of its assets to Pueblo Bank
and Trust will not yield any proceeds to transfer to creditors.
The Debtor says it has no source of income.  The Debtor notes it
has about $1,633,126 in accounts receivable, comprised primarily
of debt from companies that have an affiliation with the Debtor.

The Debtor says, in December 2011, it sold certain parcel of its
property to Confluence Resources Holding LLC, who made the highest
offer at $8.6 million.  However, Confluence stated that it was not
proceeding to closing; Thus, all of the assets will be transferred
to Pueblo Bank to its credit bid.

Pueblo Bank is the back up bidder with a credit bid of $5 million.

SEDONA DEVELOPMENT: DREP Wants Court to Deny Confirmation of Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Don H. Davis, Jr., Lute Riley, Hans Epprecht, Stephen Perry ask
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona to deny the
confirmation Sedona Development Partners, LLC and The Club At
Seven Canyons, LLC's Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization.

According to DREP, the Debtors have ignored the rights of the
holders of memberships in the Seven Canyon Golf Club and
purchasers of fractional interests in The Villas at Seven Canyons.

Since the filing, DREP add that the Debtors have made no attempts
to construct the permanent clubhouse promised in the membership
documents.  Moreover, the Plan does not provide for the
reorganized Debtors to comply with the membership documents and
build a permanent clubhouse.

DREP note that while the failure to recognize claims, and bribing
an impaired class may be good for the Debtors' equity holders who
intend to retain their interests in the reorganized debtor, there
is no group of legitimate creditors that benefit from the Plan and
the Debtors disregard of legitimate creditor claims.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 28, 2011, the
Debtor filed with the Court on June 17, 2011, a second amended
joint disclosure statement in support of their second amended
joint pan of reorganization."

This second amended joint disclosure statement specifically
address the objections of the Davis Group and Specialty regarding
the disclosure statement.  The Court has approved the Disclosure
Statement for dissemination to creditors.

A copy of the Second Amended Disclosure Statement is available at:

      http://bankrupt.com/misc/sedona.2ndamendedjointDS.pdf

As reported in the TCR on May 24, 2011, Don H. Davis, Jr., Lute
Riley, and Hans Epprecht objected to the Debtors' amended
disclosure statement because it fails to provide adequate
information.  The Debtors' Plan purports to impact over
$100 million dollars in creditor claims, yet maintains the very
management that steered this ship into the bankruptcy iceberg.
In light of the extremely large amount of debt and number of
claimants, and the relatively small asserted value of the Debtors'
remaining assets, substantial additional disclosures are
warranted.  Moreover, where the Debtors purport to substantively
consolidate their assets and liabilities through the Plan, simple
explanations that "management was not at fault for the bankruptcy
filings" and that "funds were commingled" are woefully
insufficient to provide creditors with adequate information to
cast the votes on the Plan.  Finally, no Disclosure Statement can
be approved until the accounting of the use of the over
$200 million that flowed through the Debtors since the beginning
of the Seven Canyon project and the related party payments, is
created and reviewed.

SIGNATURE STYLES: Panel Has Until Sept. 12 to Challenge Asset Sale
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Kevin Gross of U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware extended the challenge deadline of the Official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11 cases of Signature Styles
LLC, et al., in relation for the Debtors' sale of substantially
all their assets to Artemis, LLC.  Artemiss is an affiliate of
private equity firm Patriarch Partners, which owned and was the
secured lender to Signature Styles before it filed for bankruptcy
in June of this year.

Pursuant to the agreement among the Debtors, the Committee and
Patriarch Partners LLC, et al., the Court extended the Committee's
challenge period until Sept. 12, 2011, and in the event that the
Court enters an oder authorizing the Debtors to sell assets by
Sept. 12, will be further extended to the date that is one
business day after the closing under the APA.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 1, 2011, the
Debtor notified the Court that it did not receive any qualified
competing bids to acquire the company's assets.  Because no
qualified competing bids were received, the September 1st auction
has been canceled.

The Debtor scheduled a Sept. 7 hearing, to seek Court approval to
complete the asset sale contemplated in the stalking horse asset
purchase agreement between Signature Styles and Artemiss, LLC.

                        Objection on Sale

The United States, on behalf of its Department of Defense Army &
Air Force Exchange Service, objects to the Debtor' sale motion,
specifically, to any provisions in the notice and motion which
provide for the assumption and assignments of the agreement or any
of its contracts to the extent the Debtors fail to comply with the
applicable federal law.

The U.S. stated that the Debtors are not entitled to assume and
assign any contract with the U.S. without its consent.

The U.S. reserves the right to object to any proposed assumption
or assignment of any federal interest on any grounds.

The U.S. is represented by Charles M. Oberly, III, Esq.
Ellen W. Slights.

SUNOCO INC: Sale Plan Won't Affect Fitch Ratings & Outlook
----------------------------------------------------------
Sunoco, Inc.'s (SUN) announcement that it intends to sell or idle
its remaining refining capacity, including the Philadelphia and
Marcus Hook, PA refineries by July 2012, is not expected to impact
the company's ratings or outlook at this time.  However, Fitch
notes the company may require a waiver for the tangible net worth
covenant associated with its $1.22 billion unsecured revolver
(maturing August 2012), as the $1.9 billion-$2.2 billion pre-tax
non-cash impairment Sunoco will take linked to the announcement
exceeds current headroom on the covenant.

Fitch anticipates the company will receive a waiver, but notes
that Sunoco's current liquidity remains ample, and could easily be
used to refinance the $115 million of LoCs outstanding on its
revolver at June 30, 2011 to avoid any cross default issues in the
unlikely event a waiver is not given.  Liquidity includes cash
balances of approximately $1.47 billion at June 30, 2011,
supplemented by $775 million from SunCoke spin-off proceeds in the
third quarter, but minus approximately $500 million used for
recent share buybacks.  Sunoco also has full availability of $250
million on its A/R securitization facility.

Sunoco's announcement continues a pattern of restructuring as the
company accelerates its transition from a manufacturing-centered
business model to a distribution-centered business model.
Following the March 1 sale of the 170,000 barrels per day (bpd)
Toledo refinery to a subsidiary of PBF Holding Company, Sunoco's
total refining capacity stood at just 505,000 bpd, a little over
half of the 910,000 bpd capacity it had a few years ago.

On July 21, 2011, Fitch downgraded the long-term Issuer Default
Rating (IDR) and other ratings of Sunoco, Inc. (NYSE: SUN) to
'BB+' from 'BBB-' following the recent completion of the SunCoke
IPO.  The main catalysts for the downgrade included: reduced
business diversification at Sunoco following the SunCoke spin-off
and disposition of additional Sunoco refining and chemical assets;
increased structural subordination of debt at the parent level to
debt at Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P (SXL; rated 'BBB', with a
Stable Outlook by Fitch); and failure to significantly de-lever at
the Sunoco level following the spin-off.

Fitch currently rates Sunoco as follows:

  -- Issuer Default Rating (IDR) 'BB+';
  -- Senior unsecured revolver and notes 'BB+';
  -- Subordinated notes 'BB';
  -- Commercial paper 'B';
  -- Short-term IDR 'B'.

The Ratings Outlook is Stable.


SUNOCO INC: S&P Puts 'BB+' Corp. Credit Rating on Watch Negative
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings on Sunoco
Inc., including its 'BB+' corporate credit rating, on CreditWatch
with negative implications. "The CreditWatch listing indicates
that we could either lower or affirm the ratings upon completion
of our review. Sunoco had approximately $2.5 billion of
consolidated debt outstanding as of June 30, 2011," S&P related.

"The CreditWatch listing follows Sunoco's announcement that it
plans to divest or shut down its remaining refining assets by July
2012 and that it plans to undertake a strategic review of its
remaining assets -- including its large cash balances," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Patrick Jeffrey. "We believe
Sunoco's exiting of its refining business will result in a more
concentrated and weaker business risk profile. Sunoco's remaining
businesses will consist of an approximate 4,900 retail convenience
store chain and a general partnership and approximate 30%
ownership interest in Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. from which it
receives cash distributions."

"While the refining business has faced significant operating
challenges and volatile earnings, we have viewed this segment as
still providing diversity to Sunoco's business risk profile and an
additional source of future cash flow. This initiative follows
Sunoco's exiting of its chemicals business and the spin-off of its
SunCoke operations over the past couple of years which have
resulted in a significantly less diverse business profile. We also
believe the company's strategic review creates some uncertainty
related to how Sunoco will utilize its substantial cash balances
($1.5 billion as of June 30, 2011 and further proceeds to Sunoco
of about $770 million related to the SunCoke separation). While we
believe Sunoco will likely consider transactions to grow its
remaining business segments, Sunoco recently announced a $500
million stock repurchase program to be funded with its existing
cash balances. We have viewed the company's strong liquidity and
current financial risk profile as a key strength in the existing
ratings," S&P stated.

"We will meet with management to discuss the impact of these
planned initiatives on the company's business risk and financial
risk profiles. In resolving the CreditWatch listing, we will
evaluate key issues including an assessment of the company's
business risk profile with the exiting of the refining business,
the impact on the company's capital structure, and Sunoco's
future growth initiatives. We would expect to either lower or
affirm our ratings upon completion of our review," S&P noted.


SWADENER INVESTMENT: Disclosure Statement Hearing Set for Sept. 27
------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Terrence L. Michael of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Oklahoma will convene a hearing on
September 27, 2011, at 11:00 a.m., to consider approval of the
disclosure statement explaining Swadener Investment Properties,
LLC's Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization.

Objections to the approval of the Disclosure Statement are due
September 22.

The Plan, filed August 15, will be funded by the cash flow
generated from rents paid to the Debtor by tenants of its
commercial office buildings and retail center.

General unsecured claims, totaling more than $500,000, are
impaired under the Plan.  Holders of general unsecured claims will
be paid in 120 monthly installments beginning 30 days after the
effective date of the Plan.

Mark W. Swadener will continue to manage the Debtor and his annual
salary will be $50,000.  He will also act as leasing agent so that
commissions are only limited and payable to the extent of
necessary and outside brokerage services.  Dru Graham will
continue to perform her duties as chief financial officer, and her
annual salary will be $78,897.

The Debtor believes it will have enough cash on hand on the
effective date of the Plan to pay all claims and expenses that are
entitled to be paid on that date.  As of June 30, 2011, there was
$169,980 cash on hand and it is anticipated that the cash on hand
on the effective date of the Plan will be more than $200,000,
which is more than enough to pay those claims and expenses due on
the effective date.

TBS INTERNATIONAL: Reaches Deal With Banks on Payment Deferral
--------------------------------------------------------------
TBS International plc disclosed that, with the agreement of the
requisite lenders under its various financing facilities, it is
not making certain principal payments due on its financing
facilities for the period from September 30, 2011 through
December 15, 2011.  The Company's lender groups will forbear
during this period from exercising their rights and remedies which
arise from the Company's failure to make principal payments when
due and any failure to comply with certain of its financial
covenants.  During this forbearance period, the Company and its
various lender groups will negotiate amendments to restructure the
Company's various financing facilities and cure any existing
defaults.  The Company intends to pay only the stated interest on
its financing facilities during the forbearance period and will
accrue any applicable default interest.

Joseph E. Royce, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President,
commented: "The continued weakness in the Baltic Dry Index, or
BDI, the industry indicator for spot dry bulk freight rates,
during the past 12 months has caused the Company and our lenders
to consider the desirability of restructuring our various
financing facilities.  This forbearance agreement provides us with
the time we need to restructure our various agreements."

Ferdinand V. Lepere, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, commented: "TBS remains in solid financial
condition, but has concluded that it is prudent to conserve cash
by extending the amortization periods for our various financing
facilities.  During this negotiation period, we will continue to
operate our business as usual, to pay all of our vendors and to
pay the stated interest on our debt.  We are confident that with
the restructuring that we are discussing with our lenders we will
continue to pay all of our lenders, vendors and other creditors in
full."

Dublin, Ireland-based TBS International plc (NASDAQ: TBSI)
-- http://www.tbsship.com/-- provides worldwide shipping
solutions to a diverse client base of industrial shippers through
its Five Star Service: ocean transportation, projects,
operations, port services and strategic planning.  The TBS
shipping network operates liner, parcel and dry bulk services,
supported by a fleet of multipurpose tweendeckers and
handysize/handymax bulk carriers, including specialized heavy-
lift vessels and newbuild tonnage.  TBS has developed its
franchise around key trade routes between Latin America and
China, Japan and South Korea, as well as select ports in North
America, Africa, the Caribbean and the Middle East.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2011, showed US$681.39
million in total assets, US$406.22 million in total liabilities,
and US$275.17 million in total shareholders' equity.

The Company reported a net loss of US$247.76 million on US$411.83
million of total revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010,
compared with a net loss of US$67.04 million on US$302.51 million
of total revenue during the prior year.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  PwC believes
that the Company will not be in compliance with the financial
covenants under its credit facilities during 2011, which under
the agreements would make the debt callable.  According to PwC,
this has created uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to
fulfill its financial commitments as they become due.

As reported in the TCR on Feb. 8, 2011, TBS International on
Jan. 31, 2011, announced that it had entered into amendments to
its credit facilities with all of its lenders, including AIG
Commercial Equipment, Commerzbank AG, Berenberg Bank and Credit
Suisse and syndicates led by Bank of America, N.A., The Royal
Bank of Scotland plc and DVB Group Merchant Bank (the "Credit
Facilities").  The amendments restructure the Company's debt
obligations by revising the principal repayment schedules under
the Credit Facilities, waiving any existing defaults, revising
the financial covenants, including covenants related to the
Company's consolidated leverage ratio, consolidated interest
coverage ratio and minimum cash balance, and modifying other
terms of the Credit Facilities.

The Company currently expects to be in compliance with all
financial covenants and other terms of the amended Credit
Facilities through maturity.

As a condition to the restructuring of the Company's credit
facilities, three significant shareholders who also are key
members of TBS' management agreed on Jan. 25, 2011, to provide up
to US$10 million of new equity in the form of Series B Preference
Shares and deposited funds in an escrow account to facilitate
satisfaction of this obligation.  In partial satisfaction of this
obligation, on Jan. 28, 2011, these significant shareholders
purchased an aggregate of 30,000 of the Company's Series B
Preference Shares at US$100 per share directly from TBS in a
private placement.


TERRESTAR NETWORKS: Elektrobit Object to Ch. 11 Disclosures
-----------------------------------------------------------
Stewart Bishop at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Elektrobit Inc.
objected to disclosures for TerreStar Corp.'s Chapter 11 plan in
New York bankruptcy court on Friday, arguing that the parent of
the satellite phone maker failed to explain the lopsided influence
stockholders are exerting in the reorganization process.

According to Law360, the Finish engineering company -- one of
TerreStar's largest unsecured creditors -- said the disclosure
statement for the restructuring plan should not be approved until
several inconsistencies are addressed, including those involving
preferred shareholders Harbinger Capital Partners LLC, Highland
Capital Management and others.

                    About TerreStar Networks

TerreStar Corporation and TerreStar Holdings, Inc., filed
voluntary Chapter 11 petitions with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York on Feb. 16, 2011.

TSC's Chapter 11 filing joins the bankruptcy proceedings of
TerreStar Networks Inc. and 12 other affiliates, which filed on
Oct. 19, 2010.  The October Chapter 11 cases are procedurally
consolidated under TSN's Case No. 10-15446 under Judge Sean H.
Lane.

TSC is the parent company of each of the October Debtors.  TSC has
four wholly owned direct subsidiaries: TerreStar Holdings, Inc.,
TerreStar New York Inc., Motient Holdings Inc., and MVH Holdings
Inc.

TSC's case is jointly administered with the cases of seven of the
October Debtors under the caption In re TerreStar Corporation, et
al., Case No. 11-10612 (SHL).  The seven Debtor entities who
sought joint administration with TSC are TerreStar New York Inc.,
Motient Communications Inc., Motient Holdings Inc., Motient
License Inc., Motient Services Inc., Motient Ventures Holdings
Inc., and MVH Holdings Inc.

TSC is a Delaware corporation whose main asset is the equity in
non-Debtor TerreStar 1.4 Holdings LLC, which has the right to use
a "1.4 GHz terrestrial spectrum" pursuant to 64 licenses issued by
the Federal Communication Commission.  TSC also has an indirect
89.3% ownership interest in TerreStar Network, Inc., which
operates a separate and distinct mobile communications business.
TerreStar Holdings is a Delaware corporation that directly holds
100% of the interests in 1.4 Holdings LLC.

TerreStar Networks -- TSN -- the principal operating entity of
TSC, developed an innovative wireless communications system to
provide mobile coverage throughout the United States and Canada
using satellite-terrestrial smartphones.  The system, however,
required an enormous amount of capital expenditures and initially
produced very little in the way of revenue.  TSN's available cash
and borrowing capacity were insufficient to cover its funding;
thus, forcing TSN to seek bankruptcy protection in October 2010.

TSC estimated assets and debts of $100 million to $500million in
its Chapter 11 petition.

Ira S. Dizengoff, Esq., at Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, LLP,
in New York, serves as counsel for the TSC and TSN Debtors.
Garden City Group is the claims and notice agent.  Blackstone
Advisory Partners LP is the financial advisor.  The Garden City
Group, Inc., is the claims and noticing agent in the Chapter 11
cases.

Otterbourg Steindler Houston & Rosen P.C. is the counsel to the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors formed in TSN's Chapter
11 cases.  FTI Consulting, Inc., is the Committee's financial
advisor.

TerreStar has signed a contract to sell its business to Dish
Network Corp. for $1.38 billion.  TerreStar cancelled a June 30
auction because there were no competing bids submitted by the
deadline.

TRIBUNE CO: Edward Jones Warns Stock Buyback Participants of Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
St. Louis-based investment firm Edward Jones is warning former
Tribune Company employees, retirees and shareholders who
participated in a 2007 stock buyback that they may be sued by the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors aiming to recover some
money, according to Anna Marie Kukec of Daily Herald.

The Daily Herald obtained a letter dated August 15, 2011 sent by
Edward Jones to about 400 stock owners who received about $5.4
million in the buyback.  The firm has been subpoenaed to get the
names of the stock owners, the amount held and the funds that
they received, the report relayed.

Millions of dollars could be at stake as other investment firms,
apart from Edward Jones, could be expected to be subpoenaed about
their clients, Edward Jones spokesperson John Boul told The Daily
Herald.

"We just did not want our clients to be surprised," Mr. Boul was
quoted as saying by The Daily Herald.  "We've been fighting this
subpoena for months now in the interest of our clients' privacy."

The Court overseeing Tribune's bankruptcy cases however rejected
the privacy issue and is expected soon to require investment
firms that handled clients in the 2007 buyback to report their
names, The Daily Herald relayed.

The Creditors' Committee recently obtained an extension from the
Court to complete service pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure on defendants in the adversary
proceeding against Dennis FitzSimons, et al., through and
including March 1, 2012.  The Creditors' Committee also sought
and obtained a protective order in the FitzSimons Adversary
Proceeding authorizing the requesting party to produce
confidential information subject to certain restrictions.

Edward Jones stated that the Court could direct it to turn over
the information, which "may eventually be used to bring a claim
against you to recover the funds transferred to you as part of
the buyout," The Daily Herald added.

working with CFCC Partners, utilizing their corporate experience
to assist in positioning the Company for growth."

                         About True North

True North Finance Corporation -- http://www.truenorthfinance.com/
-- was formerly known as CS Financing Corporation.  On June 22,
2009, CS Financing Corporation changed its name to True North
Finance Corp.  The Company is primarily a real estate lending
company.

CS Fund General Partner, LLC, became a wholly owned subsidiary of
True North Finance Corporation pursuant to a merger on June 30,
2009.  Although CS Fund General Partner, LLC, was considered the
acquiring entity for accounting purposes, the Merger was
structured so that CS Fund General Partner, LLC, became a wholly
owned subsidiary of True North Finance Corporation.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 2, 2010,
L.L. Bradford & Company, LLC, in Las Vegas, expressed substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern
after auditing the Company's financial statements for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2009.  The independent auditors noted that the
Company has incurred recurring losses and its current liabilities
exceed its current assets.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2010, showed $1.04
million in total assets, $16.30 million in total liabilities and a
$15.26 million total stockholders' deficit.


UNITED CONTINENTAL: Airlines May Pocket $1.3BB From Tax Delays
--------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. airlines led by United Continental Holdings, Inc. may pocket
$1.3 billion in higher fares tied to the Federal Aviation
Administration's partial shutdown due to deadlocks on the
agency's funding, Bloomberg News reported on August 2, 2011.

Bloomberg noted that the FAA has been unable to collect $28.6
million a day in aviation taxes since midnight on July 22.

Congress was set to begin its August recess on August 2, 2011,
without a new FAA funding bill, Bloomberg related.  Indeed, the
expiration of tax-collecting authority last month halted a 7.5%
sales tax on domestic tickets and a $3.70 fee for each flight
segment, the report continued.  Likewise, higher fees on
international taxes were suspended, and airlines started saving
about 15 cents a gallon on jet fuel, the report pointed out.

Laura Brown, spokesperson for the FAA, told Bloomberg that lost
FAA taxes would amount to about $1.3 billion through
September 7, 2011, when Congress reconvenes, the report added.

The additional revenue could boost Delta's third-quarter earnings
by 7 cents a share, United's by 15 cents and American Airlines
parent AMR Corp.'s by 12 cents for each week the FAA is partially
idled, Jamie Baker of JPMorgan Chase & Co. wrote in a note to
clients last week, Bloomberg relayed.

                         *     *      *

In recent developments, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
announced that Congress reached a deal to fund the FAA and end
the 13-day shutdown, International Business Times reported on
August 4, 2011.

The bipartisan agreement will allow for the Senate to approve a
House bill that will renew the FAA's contract that expired on
July 22, 2011, International Business Times relayed.  The deal
will also extend the FAA's short-term extension through mid-
September, the report added.

Mr. Reid acknowledged that important differences still remain but
stated that it is important for 74,000 transportation and
construction workers to keep working while Congress resolve those
issues.

The return of the FAA could also have a negative impact on major
airlines like United Continental, International Business Times
noted.  Airlines pocketed taxes that would have gone to the FAA,
the report said.  Indeed, those airlines had kept prices the
same, which reflected taxes, while continuing to reap in the
profit, the report stated.

"We're losing $200 million a week in ticket tax revenue," U.S.
Representative Jim Doran disclosed in an interview with ABC's
Topline.  "The passengers are paying it.  The airlines are
pocketing it.  We need that money."

VYTERIS INC: To Stop Filing SEC Reports to Cut Costs
----------------------------------------------------
Vyteris, Inc., has been investigating four strategic transactions
with four separate acquisition targets as well as attempting to
monetize the assets from its former iontophoresis business.
Additionally, due to the May decision to not continue active
involvement in its drug delivery business, the Company was able to
reduce its workforce by eliminating staffing in that area and
vacating its leased space, which has resulted in an ongoing
dispute with its former landlord.  The process of reaching final
agreements with regard to drug delivery asset monetization has
proven to taken longer than originally anticipated, and the
Company's efforts to raise the capital that will be required to
complete such strategic transactions with the Acquisition Targets
have proven more difficult than originally anticipated.

After due deliberation and consideration of the above described
facts, the Company's Board of Directors has determined that it
must pursue an alternative strategy to attempt to realize value
from the Company's assets.  To that end, the Company's Board of
Directors has determined to focus on efforts to discharge the
Company's various obligations to its creditors and its landlord in
a manner that will result in the Company's shareholders having
possible value in the Company's residual assets.

The Board of Directors further determined it would not be a
prudent use of the Company's available resources to prepare and
file its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2011, and, as a
result, such filing was not made.  The Company does not expect to
make further filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of this
Current Report on Form 8-K.

In connection with efforts to delever the Company's balance sheet
and potentially realize shareholder value, a proposal was made by
a third party regarding an assignment of the  opportunities to
pursue possible transactions with the Acquisition Targets in
exchange for the assumption of certain of Registrant's
liabilities.  In connection with this proposal, the Board of
Directors empanelled a special committee comprised solely of
independent directors and delegated to the Independent Committee
the full power and authority of the Board of Directors to
evaluate, negotiate and, if deemed appropriate, approve that
proposal.  The Independent Committee completed a thorough
evaluation of the proposal and engaged in negotiations with the
third party and, in addition, considered other alternatives.  As a
result of the foregoing analysis and in light of the concessions
achieved through negotiations with the third party, the
Independent Committee unanimously determined that the transaction
negotiated with the third party is in the best interest of the
Company and its various constituencies and has approved such
transaction as of Aug. 12, 2011.

Eugene Bauer, Gene Burleson and Joel Kanter are Directors of
Assignee.  Each is also a Director of the Company and Mr. Bauer is
currently acting as executive Chairman of the Board in the absence
of a Chief Executive Officer.  The Assignment was unanimously
approved by the Independent Committee, without the vote of the
other directors of the Company.

WASHINGTON MUTUAL: Judge Approves $105MM Truce With Investors
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lance Duroni at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that U.S. Bankruptcy
Judge Mary F. Walrath on Tuesday cleared Washington Mutual Inc. to
tap its insurers for a $105 million settlement with shareholders
in a multidistrict litigation alleging the failed bank abandoned
risk management policies during the housing bubble.

Judge Walrath signed off on the deal - along with settlements in
two smaller securities suits - although the larger settlement
still needs the approval of the district court in Washington
before it can be implemented, Law360 says.

                      About Washington Mutual

Based in Seattle, Washington, Washington Mutual Inc. --
http://www.wamu.com/-- is a holding company for Washington Mutual
Bank as well as numerous non-bank subsidiaries.

Washington Mutual Bank was taken over on Sept. 25, 2008, by U.S.
government regulators.  The next day, WaMu and its affiliate, WMI
Investment Corp., filed separate petitions for Chapter 11 relief
(Bankr. D. Del. 08-12229 and 08-12228, respectively).  WaMu owns
100% of the equity in WMI Investment.  When WaMu filed for
protection from its creditors, it disclosed assets of
$32,896,605,516 and debts of $8,167,022,695.  WMI Investment
estimated assets of $500 million to $1 billion with zero debts.

WaMu is represented by Brian Rosen, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal &
Manges LLP in New York City; Mark D. Collins, Esq., at Richards,
Layton & Finger P.A. in Wilmington, Del.; and Peter Calamari,
Esq., and David Elsberg, Esq., at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver &
Hedges, LLP.  The Debtor tapped Valuation Research Corporation as
valuation service provider for certain assets.

Fred S. Hodara, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Fled LLP in New
York and David B. Stratton, Esq., at Pepper Hamilton LLP in
Wilmington, Del., represent the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors.  Stephen D. Susman, Esq., at Susman Godfrey LLP and
William P. Bowden, Esq., at Ashby & Geddes, P.A., represent the
Equity Committee.  The official committee of equity security
holders also tapped BDO USA as its tax advisor. Stacey R.
Friedman, Esq., at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and Adam G. Landis,
Esq., at Landis Rath & Cobb LLP in Wilmington, Del., represent
JPMorgan Chase, which acquired the WaMu bank unit's assets prior
to the Petition Date.

On Jan. 7, 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware entered a 107-page opinion determining that the global
settlement agreement, among certain parties including WMI, the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., upon which the Plan is premised, and the transactions
contemplated therein, are fair, reasonable, and in the best
interests of WMI.  Additionally, the Opinion and related order
denied confirmation, but suggested certain modifications to the
Company's Sixth Amended Joint Plan of Affiliated Debtors that, if
made, would facilitate confirmation.

Washington Mutual has filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Modified
Sixth Amended Joint Plan and a related Supplemental Disclosure
Statement.  The Company believes that the Modified Plan has
addressed the Bankruptcy Court's concerns and looks forward to
returning to the Bankruptcy Court to seek confirmation of the
Modified Plan.


WEST END: Debuts Proposal to Liquidate Assets, Repay Creditors
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reports that West End Financial Advisors
LLC, which sought bankruptcy protection after seeing fraud charges
leveled against its former leaders, introduced a liquidation plan
intended to guide the company's assets out of Chapter 11 and
ultimately into the hands of creditors.

                     About West End Financial

West End Financial Advisors LLC, Sentinel Investment Management
Corp. and a number of affiliates sought Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 11-11152) in Manhattan on March 15,
2011.  New York-based West End estimated its assets and debts at
$1 million to $10 million.  Arnold Mitchell Greene, Esq., at
Robinson Brog Leinwand Greene Genovese & Gluck, P.C., serves as
the Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.

William Landberg created WEFA in 2000 as an investment and
financial management company. Subsequently he purchased Sentinel

for investments in fixed income funds and alternative investment
products.  Mr. Landberg's ultimately resigned from all West End
related entities effective June 2, 2009, following a probe on
misappropriation of funds.

Schedules of assets and liabilities for West End and its
funds showed assets of $400,000 and debt of $6.7 million, not
including $66 million from investors who may or may not be
considered creditors.  Debt includes $5.5 million in secured
claims, according to the schedules.

Secured creditors with the largest claims are DZ Bank ($118.1
million), West LB ($41 million), Iberia Bank ($11.3 million), and

WILLIAMS LOVE: Can Access Prepetition Lenders' Cash Until Sept. 19
------------------------------------------------------------------
In an interim order dated 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Oregon granted Williams, Love, O'Leary & Powers, P.C.,
authorization to access cash collateral, primarily cash and cash
equivalents, and all cash proceeds of the Prepetition Collateral
existing as of the commencement of the Debtor's Chapter 11 case,
until Sept. 19, 2011, to pay costs and expenses incurred by the
Debtor in the ordinary course of its business, consistent with a
budget.

Sterling Savings Bank, Heather Brann and Michael L. Williams,
P.C., assert prepetition claims against the Debtor, including cash
collateral.

Sterling Savings Bank contends that, as of the Petition Date,
Debtor was indebted to Bank in the approximate amount of
$4,264,893 (exclusive of attorneys' fees and certain costs).  The
indebtedness is secured by substantially all of the Borrower's
assets.

Heather Brann holds a prepetition claim against the Debtor in the
approximately amount of $240,000 and a contingent claim for
approximately $480,000.  Brann says her alleged attorney's lien is
superior in priority to the liens of Sterling Savings Bank.

Williams asserts a prepetition claim against Debtor in the
approximate amount of $690,000, which Williams acknowledges as
subordinate to Sterling Savings Bank's prepetiton liens.

As adequate protection for any cash collateral used by Debtor,
Sterling Savings Bank, Williams and Brann are granted perfected
replacement liens on all property and assets of Debtor and its
estate, of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired by Debtor.  The replacement lines will not
attach to property recovered through the exercise of the powers
granted under sections 506(c), 544, 545, 547, 548 and 549 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

The replacement liens will be in addition to all other security
interests and liens securing an allowed secured claim in existence
on the Petition Date.

To the extent a replacement lien proves to be inadequate as
adequate protection, Sterling Savings Bank, Williams, and
Brann will have allowed administrative claims under Section 503(b)
of the Bankruptcy Code, which claims swill have priority over, and
be senior to, all other administrative claims against Debtor
pursuant to Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

A final hearing on Debtor's Motion for authority to use cash
collateral will be held on Sept. 19, 2011, at 3:00 p.m.

* Moody's: Cash Held By N.A. Manufacturers Falls as Others Hoard
----------------------------------------------------------------
Cash held by North American manufacturing firms has declined this
year at a time of intense focus on the $1 trillion-plus cash hoard
on US corporate balance sheets, says a new report by Moody's
Investors Service. Outlays for acquisitions, share repurchases and
capital investments have increased for the manufacturing sector.

Manufacturers increased spending on acquisitions nearly seven
times faster than other corporate sectors in 2010. Notable
transactions over the last year included Emerson Electric Co.'s
$1.5 billion purchase of Chloride Group PLC, Danaher Corp.'s
nearly $6 billion purchase of Beckman Coulter and General
Electric's $2.8 billion acquisition of John Wood Group's
well-support business.

GE, Corning and 3M are among the largest holders of cash in the
sector, notes the report.

"Our analysis of 85 manufacturers including GE, Tyco and Corning
indicates that cash declined 7% in the first quarter of 2011, and
a further 7.6% in the second quarter on a pro forma basis," says
Edwin Wiest, Moody's Vice President and Senior Analyst. "Higher
capital spending, acquisition outlays, increased working capital
requirements and share repurchases were the driving factors."

Recent shareholder-friendly moves include nearly $2.5 billion of
share repurchases across the manufacturing sector in the first
quarter of 2011, Moody's said.  Despite the spending,
manufacturers' liquidity remains strong and median credit metrics
reflect solid credit profiles.  The median debt-to-EBITDA ratio
was under two times at end-March for investment-grade
manufacturers, the lowest level since 2009.

While large cash balances and deep liquidity are credit-positive,
Moody's cautions that cash flow remains under pressure from
working capital demands and elevated commodity costs.  However,
Moody's anticipates that the manufacturing sector's organic
operating earnings growth will slow to the low-single-digits
during the next 12 to 18 months, which could support greater cash
retention.

                           *********

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.  Prices are
obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during
the prior week we think are reliable.  Those sources may not,
however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday Bond Pricing table
is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.  Prices reported
are not intended to reflect actual trades.  Prices for actual
trades are probably different.  Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or
sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers"
public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per
share in public markets.  At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Wednesday's edition of the TCR.  Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com/

On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed
Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and
liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts.  The list
includes links to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar
petitions in Acrobat PDF format.

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.

Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday edition
of the TCR.

The Sunday TCR delivers securitization rating news from the week
then-ending.

For copies of court documents filed in the District of Delaware,
please contact Vito at Parcels, Inc., at 302-658-9911.  For
bankruptcy documents filed in cases pending outside the District
of Delaware, contact Ken Troubh at Nationwide Research &
Consulting at 207/791-2852.
