Opinion 383

Case Name: 

In re Doug Turner Feedlot, Inc.

Judge: 
Judge Clark
Date: 
Feb-15-1996
Case Number(s): 
94C-25491
Status: 

UNPUBLISHED

Body: 

At issue was the interpretation of § 224 of the 1994 Bankruptcy Act, which amended § 330(a)(1) to delete the phrase "debtor's attorney" from the list of parties to whom the court may award compensation. The court concluded that the amendment to § 330(a) can be read plainly and simply to mean that chapter 7 debtor's counsel is no longer entitled to an award of fees pursuant to § 330 of the code. Therefore, the application for an award of fees to chapter 7 debtor's counsel, pursuant to § 330, was denied. The court declined to rule on the § 503(b) portion of the application until it had received evidence described by counsel.
