AMERICAN AIRLINES: Objections to Claims filed by TWU Sustained
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Sean H. Lane entered a ruling in favor of Debtors
AMR Corporation and affiliates in thier objections to proofs of
claim nos. 7639, 11037, and 12520 filed by the Transport Workers
Union of America, AFL-CIO Local 514.

On the stock options claims, the Transport Workers Union, Local 514
asserted that the stock option program was implemented in
conjunction with the collective bargaining agreements that were in
effect prior to the petition date. Local 514 argued that the
Transport Workers Union collective bargaining agreement was
rejected in the Section 1113 process that took place during the
Debtors' bankruptcy, and that the stock option program was
terminated in connection with this rejection. Section 1113 of the
Bankruptcy Code permits a debtor to abrogate a collective
bargaining agreement ("CBA") if it meets a certain set of
conditions in the statute. Local 514 asserted a claim on behalf of
its members that were unable to exercise their stock options
because of this alleged termination of the stock option program
prior to its expiration date of April 17, 2013. The Debtors
countered that the program was independent of the CBAs and that
employees continued to be able to exercise their rights under the
program until its expiration in
April 2013.

The Court rejects the position of Local 514 for three reasons. As a
threshold matter, Local 514's position is factually flawed because
the TWU did not abrogate its CBA under Section 1113 of the
Bankruptcy Code. Instead, the TWU and the Debtors reached a
consensual agreement on a new CBA to replace the old CBA. As such,
any rights under the old CBA--as compared to the new CBA--were the
subject of a bargaining process and not a unilateral decision to
abrogate or reject the TWU CBA by the Debtors under the Bankruptcy
Code. Thus, there was no unilateral termination of rights by the
Debtors that would serve as a basis for the claim that Local 514
asserted as to the stock options program.

Second, Local 514's position is also legally flawed. Even if the
stock option plan had been terminated through abrogation of the
CBAs, it is well established in this jurisdiction that abrogation
under Section 1113 of the Bankruptcy Code does not create rejection
claims pursuant to Section 365.

Third, Local 514's position is flawed based on the evidence.
Considering the evidence under the shifting burden of proof for
claims objections, the contemporaneous evidence indicates that the
stock option program expired on April 17, 2013 in accordance with
its terms and was not impacted by the CBA process.

On the retiree medical prefunding claims, the Debtors agreed that
the company-matching funds American had paid into the program and
which were being held in a retiree benefit trust, would be
distributed to employees if there was a “successful resolution of
the ‘Section 1114 Process.’” Section 1114 of the Bankruptcy
Code permits a debtor to modify its obligations to pay retire
benefits under certain circumstances.

On July 25, 2018, the Court entered an Agreed Order on Debtors'
190th Omnibus Objection to Claims which expunged certain proofs of
claim that had been filed by the Retiree Committee appointed in the
case under to Section 1114. This agreed order stated that the
Debtors would “continue to provide the 'retiree benefits.'

Here, the Court finds that Debtors simply agreed to continue to
comply with the terms of the Bankruptcy Code and their Plan of
Reorganization, as they had been since the plan was confirmed in
2013. The agreed order does nothing more than maintain the status
quo that had been in place for years prior to the arbitration
opinion being entered on Dec. 27, 2017, and to suggest that the
agreed order was something new that happened or that something else
happened since the Section 1114 process ended with the Debtors
voluntary dismissal in July of 2018 is nonsensical.

On the supplemental medical plan claim, the Court holds that
because the premiums were payments for an annual term policy and
there is no dispute that the claimants' policies were in effect
until the end of the annual term that they had paid for, the claims
for return of the premiums paid are denied.

AMERICAN GREEN: Creditors Seek Ch. 11 Trustee Appointment
---------------------------------------------------------
Movant Creditors, Airguide Mfg MS, LLC, and Dave Peterson, ask the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas to appoint
a Chapter 11 trustee for American Green Technology Inc.

The Movants believe that the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee is
the best hope for maximizing the value of the Debtor from the
decline caused, and will continue to be caused, if action is not
taken to preserve the Debtor's assets and brand.

Further, the Movants contend that the Debtor should be under
Bankruptcy Court supervision given the recent controversies and
management concerns. Although riddled with financial problems, the
Debtor possesses valuable intellectual property, including
trademarks and patents which have over thirteen years left to run.
On information and belief, the technology has the potential to be
leveraged substantially beyond those current patents, generating
additional value for the estate.

According to the Movants' request, a disinterested Trustee can
investigate the Debtor's assets, capital, debt structure, and
operations, and offer the Court a dispassionate appraisal of what
should be done to preserve and maximize the estate's value. No
other party can do so. While a Chapter 7 may be advisable in the
future, that should be the call of a Chapter 11 trustee after he or
she has had the opportunity to assess the situation to make sure
the potential negative impact of a Chapter 7 are mitigated if one
is not deemed necessary.

AMERICAN HOME: Court Affirms Summary Judgment in Favor of Trustee
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the appeals case captioned CITIBANK, N.A., as Trustee for
American Home Mortgage Assets Trust 2006-3,
Mortgage-Backed-Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-3,
Plaintiff-Appellee, v. ELENA BUSUIOC and THEODORE WOJTAS,
Defendants-Appellants, No. 1-17-2956 (Ill. App.), the Appellate
Court of Illinois affirms the grant of summary judgment entered in
favor of plaintiff. The order approving the sale and distribution
is also affirmed. The Court does not have jurisdiction to consider
the merits of defendants' challenge to the order dismissing their
standing affirmative defense. That portion of the case is dismissed
from this appeal.

On June 21, 2006, defendant-appellant, Elena Busuioc, received a
loan in the amount of $1.76 million, which was secured by a
mortgage on property located at 2128 Tuscany Court, Glenview,
Illinois. Defendants failed to make the required January 2009
mortgage payment, and the mortgage went into default. In December
2009, the mortgage and note were assigned to the current
plaintiff-appellee, Citibank N.A. In December 2010, plaintiff filed
its initial foreclosure complaint. In November 2016, plaintiff
moved for summary judgment. After briefing from the parties, the
circuit court entered summary judgment in favor of plaintiff in
April 2017. An order approving sale was entered in September 2017.
Defendants appealed.

The defendants argued the circuit court erred in striking their
first affirmative defense regarding plaintiff's standing to bring
the suit. They argued summary judgment was inappropriate because a
question of fact remains as to the amounts due and owing. They also
argued that the submitted affidavit fails to conform to either
Illinois or Florida law. Defendants argued that reversal of summary
judgment requires reversal of the sale and distribution order.

On the first issue, the Plaintiff responded that the Court lacks
jurisdiction to consider the issue because defendants failed to
include the order dismissing the affirmative defense in their
notice of appeal.

After reviewing defendants' notice of appeal, the Court agrees with
plaintiff that it does not have jurisdiction to consider the
standing issue. This court has a duty to examine its own
jurisdiction before considering the merits of an appeal.

On the next issue, Defendants contend that the circuit court should
not have granted summary judgment because the interest percent and
per diem stated in the Boutin affidavit did not correspond to the
interest percent and per diem in the second amended complaint.
While defendants are correct that there is a difference between
what is stated in the second amended complaint and the Boutin
affidavit, a review of the mortgage and records attached to the
affidavit demonstrate no question of fact exists as to this issue.

After reviewing the record, there is no question of fact regarding
the interest rate and per diem. Plaintiffs submitted records
showing the monthly rate change and per diem change from the time
of default until the month before it moved for summary judgment.
Defendants' argument has no merit and does not represent a basis
for setting aside the foreclosure judgment.

Defendant next argued that the affidavit did not comply with
Florida law; however, defendant cites no Illinois caselaw holding
that an affidavit completed out of state and then utilized in an
Illinois court must comply with the out-of-state affidavit
requirements. Whether or not the affidavit utilized here met
Florida standards is immaterial as the affidavit complied with
Illinois law. Since the affidavit did comply with Illinois law, the
circuit court did not err in relying on it when granting summary
judgment in plaintiff's favor. The judgment of foreclosure is
affirmed.

Lastly, defendants sought reversal of the order approving the
report of sale and distribution based on reversing the summary
judgment order. Since the summary judgment order stands, the Court
affirms the order approving the report of sale and distribution.

AMERICAN TIRE: Obtains Overwhelming Support for Chapter 11 Plan

ATI HOLDINGS: Moody's Alters Outlook on B2 CFR to Negative
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed ATI Holdings Acquisition, Inc.'s
outlook to negative from stable and affirmed its B2 Corporate
Family Rating and B2-PD Probability of Default Rating. Moody's also
affirmed the B1 rating on the first lien credit facilities.

The change of outlook reflects minimal headroom within the
company's B2 CFR due to increased leverage, primarily because of
the back office challenges the company faced in the last 2 years.
Moody's estimates the company's adjusted debt/EBITDA, including new
clinic related pro forma adjustments, to be approximately 7.0 times
- up by almost 0.5 turn compared to a year ago.

The affirmation of the B2 CFR reflects Moody's view that ATI
Holdings' restructuring efforts in 2018 will likely bring down the
leverage below 6.5 times, consistent with the B2 rating. The
company undertook major restructuring efforts in 2018 to improve
its back office operations, reduce bad debt expenses and optimize
collection of payments for its services. Should the restructuring
efforts not deliver benefits already factored into the CFR, the
company's ratings could be downgraded.

Moody's took the following rating actions:

ATI Holdings Acquisition, Inc.

Corporate Family Rating affirmed at B2

Probability of Default Rating affirmed at B2-PD

Secured 1st lien revolving credit facility expiring 2021 affirmed
at B1 (LGD3)

Secured 1st lien term loan due 2023 affirmed at B1 (LGD3)

The rating outlook changed to negative from stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects ATI's very high financial
leverage, moderate but growing scale and geographic concentration
in the mid-western region of the US. Moody's estimates the
company's adjusted debt/EBITDA, including new clinic related pro
forma adjustments, to be approximately 7.0 times at 2018 fiscal
year end. The rating also reflects relatively low barriers to entry
in physical therapy business and risks associated with the
company's rapid expansion strategy as it grows, both organically
and through acquisitions. That said, ATI Holdings is the second
largest owner/operator of physical therapy clinics in the US.
Further, Moody's anticipates that the company will improve its
operating performance through the restructuring measures
implemented by the new management team in 2018.

The ratings also reflect Moody's view that the demand for physical
therapy will continue to grow given it is relatively low-cost and
can prevent the need for more expensive treatments. However,
relatively low barriers to entry in this industry could increase
competitive challenges in the longer-term. The rating also reflects
the company's aggressive growth strategy, primarily focused on new
clinic expansion, which will limit debt repayment.

The company faced several back office challenges in the last 1-2
years as it expanded rapidly after being acquired by private equity
firm Advent International in 2016. The company's new management has
begun to address these challenges in 2018, by implementing major
restructuring efforts.

The negative outlook reflects weak positioning of the company's B2
CFR, which could be downgraded if at any point Moody's believes
that the company's restructuring efforts are not bearing desired
results.

The ratings could be downgraded if the company's debt to EBITDA
fails to decline below 6.5 times, due to factors including weak
operating performance, acquisitions or shareholder initiatives; or
if free cash flow to debt were to become negative.

Although not likely in the near-term, an upgrade is possible should
ATI reduce and sustain adjusted debt to EBITDA below 5.0 times and
significantly increase its scale and diversification.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and
Consumer Service Industry published in October 2016.

ATI Holdings Acquisitions, Inc., headquartered in Bolingbrook, IL,
is an outpatient physical therapy and rehabilitation provider. The
company operates over 825 clinics in 25 states concentrated around
the U.S. Midwest and East coast. ATI Holdings' annual revenue
exceeds $770 million. ATI is owned by financial sponsor Advent
International.

estimated assets of $1 million to $10 million and liabilities of $1
million to $10 million.  Judge Thomas J. Catliota presides over the

Greer, P.C., as special counsel.



BEEBEE FARMS: DOJ Watchdog Seeks Ch. 11 Trustee Appointment
-----------------------------------------------------------
Patrick S. Layng, the The United States Trustee, asks the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado to direct the
appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee for BeeBee Farms, LLC.

Although the Debtor has held only a short tenure in bankruptcy, its
sister company, Bolder Enterprises, LLC, has been in bankruptcy
since April 2018, during which time Bolder displayed, with routine
frequency, an inability to comply with the obligations required of
a debtor-in-position in bankruptcy. Bolder and BeeBee are wholly
owned by the same entity, P&B Enterprises, LLC, and are wholly
controlled by P&B Enterprise's primary owner and managing member,
Chad Anderson.

The U.S. Trustee believes that appointing a trustee in BeeBee's
case is apparent and imminent. Under Mr. Anderson's management,
Bolder (a) failed to file a single operating report on time, (b)
took loans from Mr. Anderson and BeeBee without obtaining
authorization from the Court, (c) failed to pay practically all
quarterly fees it incurred, (d) failed to respond to the U.S.
Trustee's requests for documents and information, and (e) blatantly
ignored an order of the Court.

Further, the U.S. Trustee noted that it is clear that Mr. Anderson
transferred the majority of Bolder's employees to BeeBee just
before Bolder's bankruptcy filing, following which he employed the
same tactics as Bolder had used pre-petition – that is,
withholding taxes from those employees paychecks, but failing to
turn that money over to the appropriate taxing authorities.

As a result, the U.S. Trustee contends that Mr. Anderson should be
prohibited from continuing his control over BeeBee's affairs, and
requests the Court order the appointment of a trustee pursuant to
11 U.S.C. Sec. 1104.

BLUE LEOPARD: Trustee Selling Henderson Property for $308K
----------------------------------------------------------
W. Donald Gieseke, the Chapter 11 trustee for Blue Leopard, LLC,
asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada to
authorize the sale of the real property located at 316 Lingering
Lane, Henderson, Nevada to YNY, LLC and/or its managing members,
Yehuda Strasser and Yossi Strasser, for $308,000, subject to
overbid.

A hearing on the Motion is set for Jan. 9, 2019 at 9:30 a.m.

The current record title holder of the Subject Property is the
Debtor in the proceeding.  The Trustee proposes to sell the Subject
Property to the proposed Buyers free clear of all liens, claims,
and interests, and seeks approval for the payment of certain
transaction related expenses.  To the extent any disputes arise as
to lien validity priority, the Trustee proposes to segregate any
net proceeds of the sale pending final resolution of any disputes.

The Trustee has received a Residential Purchase Agreement executed
by the Buyers to purchase the Subject Property for a purchase price
of $308,000.

The salient terms of the APA are:

     a. The Purchase Price will be $308,000.

     b. The Buyers will make a $3,000 earnest money deposit into
escrow.  The escrow has been opened at First American Title Co.,
with Escrow Officer Ed Harvey.

     c. The balance of purchase price is to be paid in cash at the
close of escrow.

     d. The earnest money is non-refundable if the Buyers default
under the Contract, but is refundable if they timely exercise the
right to cancel the Contract based on the Buyers' Due Diligence
investigation

     e. The Buyers will be responsible for connecting all utilities
to perform inspections requested as part of the due diligence
period.  They will use this period to satisfy themselves of all
mechanical, structural, functional related concerns regarding the
property.  The Buyers will have 10 days from confirmation of all
utility connections to complete due diligence.

     f. The Buyers will provide a copy of the limited liability
company documents for YNY, LLC.

     g. The purchase is contingent on the Seller's ability to
provide an owner's title policy.

     h. The Escrow fees are to be split evenly between the Buyers
and the Seller.

     i. The Seller is responsible for paying a 3% commission to the
listing broker and a 3% commission to the Purchasers' broker.  The
Buyers will pay an additional 3% as a Bankruptcy release fee to the
Bankruptcy Estate of Blue Leopard LLC at the close of escrow.

     j. The transaction contemplated will be presented to the Court
for approval.  The sale is contingent upon entry of an Order of the
Court approving the transaction, with title passing to the Buyers
free and clear of all prior liens, claims and interest.

     k. All offers, counter offers, addendums & acceptances are
subject to Court approval and potential overbid at hearing/auction
to be held by the Court.

     l. All costs, fees, commissions and other charges are subject
to Court approval.

     m. The sale is "as is, where is" and with all faults and all
representations and warranties are disclaimed by the Trustee.  No
repairs will be made.

     n. The close of escrow will occur 15 days after entry of the
Order approving the transaction, or as soon thereafter as
reasonably possible.  Any extensions will be agreed upon in writing
by all parties. S

     o. Pursuant to NRS 116.401, the Seller is exempt from
providing the HOA Resale Package as it is a Court ordered sale.
The Buyers will be solely responsible for any fees related to the
Resale Package, Capital Contributions, Transfer Fees & Demands, if
applicable to the transaction.

     q. The Seller will not pay for a Home Warranty or Appraisal.

The Trustee asks authorization to sell the Subject Property, with
the Buyers taking free and clear of all liens, claims,
encumbrances, and other interests.

The Subject Property is currently encumbered by an undisputed first
position Deed of Trust Deed of Trust currently held and/or serviced
by U.S. Bank.  The Trustee requested that U.S. Bank provide a final
payoff quote.  The U.S. Bank's payoff quote, good through Jan. 15,
2019, reflects a total claimed payoff of $473,355.  The validity of
the Deed of Trust is undisputed and it is believed the lender will
consent to and support the sale, with both the lender and the
Trustee reserving all rights with respect to any carve-outs or
surcharge claims.

Based on the Trustee's public record's research, the Subject
Property is likely subject to these additional apparent liens and
encumbrances:

     a. Republic Silver State Disposal Inc.

          Recorded 3/26/14 as Document No. 201403260001352 - $279
          Recorded 9/23/14 as Document No. 201409230002488 - $260
          Recorded 3/25/15 as Document No. 201503250000412 - $260
          Recorded 9/25/15 as Document No. 201509250002483 - $263
          Recorded 3/23/16 as Document No. 201603230001131 - $279
          Recorded 9/22/16 as Document No. 201609220000496 - $264
          Recorded 3/30/17 as Document No. 201703300001467 - $265
          Recorded 9/20/17 as Document No. 201709200003105 - $266
          Recorded 8/22/18 as Document No. 201808180002318 - $406

     b. City of Henderson, Nevada

          Recorded 6/29/17 as Document No. 201706290000934 - $177
          Recorded 2/05/18 as Document No. 201802050001611 - $475

The Trustee requested that escrow holder First American provides a
preliminary title report.  The preliminary title report reflects
additional secured interests in the Subject Property: (i) a
potential second mortgage/deed of trust Barrington Capital Corp.
and (ii) potential County property taxes owed for the first quarter
of 2019.

The Subject Property is currently listed with Nevada Asset
Preservation and Management and will remain on MLS as "Under
Contract" until a sale is approved by the Court.  Overbids may be
presented at the auction that will take place during the hearing on
the Motion.  Any initial overbid must be at least $5,000 and the
Trustee proposes that all subsequent incremental overbids will be
at least $2,000.  Unless expressly waived by the Trustee, to
qualify as an overbid, the bid must comply with all material terms
and provisions of the Contract.

The Trustee proposes that any amounts realized through overbidding
be split equally between the Estate and holder of the first
position Deed of Trust.  If there are any disputes as to any
overbidding proceeds, the Trustee proposes that all overbidding
amounts be deposited into a segregated account, not to be used or
disbursed absent further Court order resolving the Trustee's
surcharge rights or other rights under applicable law.

Finally, the Trustee asks that any order authorizing it to sell the
Subject Property be effective immediately by waiving the 14-day
stay of Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h).

C & J ENERGY: Dispute w/ V. Lindsey, et al., Lodged for Arbitration
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the case captioned Vikki Nicole Lindsey, as Personal
Representative of the Estate of Dustin Ray Payne, Melissa Hopkins,
as surviving parent of Dustin Ray Payne, and Scottie Payne, as
surviving parent of Dustin Ray Payne, Plaintiffs, v. C&J Well
Services, Inc., C&J Well Services, Inc. d/b/a C&J Energy Services,
C&J Energy Services, Inc., Nabors Completion & Production Services
Co., Superior Well Services, Inc., Nabors Drilling Technologies
USA, Inc., Nabors Drilling USA, LP, Nabors Corporate Services,
Inc., Nabors Industries, Inc., and John Doe, I, Defendants, Case
No. 1:16-cv-019 (D.N.D.), Chief District Judge Daniel L. Hovland
entered an order granting Defendants' motion to compel arbitration
and stay litigation.

In their motion to compel arbitration and stay this action,
Defendants contend all of the Plaintiffs' claims against all
Defendants are subject to a Nabors' Employee Dispute Resolution
Program and under such program, the parties must submit the dispute
to arbitration. The Plaintiffs contend their claims are not
governed by the arbitration provision contained within the Dispute
Resolution Program because "Payne did not possess any cognizable
legal rights in the wrongful death claim to contract away such an
action."

The Plaintiffs do not challenge the substance of the Dispute
Resolution Program or its application to any claim by Payne.
Instead, the Plaintiffs contend their claims fall outside the scope
of the Dispute Resolution Program because "they were not a party to
the contract; therefore, they could not consent to the contract nor
was the wrongful death claim a lawful object to which Payne could
contract away." The Defendants maintain that the Plaintiffs' claims
are subject to arbitration under the Dispute Resolution Program. As
a preliminary matter, the Plaintiffs do not identify any cause of
action in their complaint as a wrongful death claim, nor do
Plaintiffs identify any cause of action as a survival claim.
Nonetheless, based upon the type of damages claimed, the Court
presumes the Plaintiffs' claims encompass both a wrongful death
claim and a survival claim.

Based upon the derivative nature of wrongful death claims in North
Dakota, an arbitration agreement is to be enforced against a
wrongful death claimant to the same extent it would have been
enforced against the decedent had he survived. The Court's
conclusion is in accordance with several decisions of other courts
which found wrongful death claims to be derivative in nature.

In this case, the Court is persuaded the Plaintiffs are bound by
the Dispute Resolution Program because the Program expressly binds
"each Employee and Applicant and the heirs, beneficiaries and
assigns of any such person or entity. . . ." Given these
considerations, the Court concludes the Plaintiffs' claims seeking
damages for wrongful death are to be submitted to an arbitrator
pursuant to the procedures outlined in the Dispute Resolution
Program. Further, the Court has no doubt, based upon its review of
the caselaw, that the Plaintiffs' claims encompassing survival
claims are to be similarly submitted to an arbitrator.

CARDIAC CONNECTIONS: No Patient Care Issues, PCO Report Says
------------------------------------------------------------
Chrystal Hall Doyle, the Patient Care Ombudsman appointed for
Cardiac Connections Home Health Care Nursing Services Corp. files a
report following the inquiries conducted on  November 19, 2018 and
December 10, 2018.

The PCO reported that the Debtor appears to provide a valuable,
specialized service to patients. The PCO also noted that, Zainab
Dumbuya, the founder and President of the Debtor, has dedicated
tremendous resources to meet accreditation standards and meet
client needs despite multiple start-up operation obstacles.

According to the Report, bankruptcy protection will help Dumbuya
reorganize, return to profitability, and expand the number of
clients who can benefit from services. While other home health
companies may be able to provide these services, arguably few have
the heart and dedicated knowledge of Cardiac Connection's founder
who joined staff in calling every patient the week before
anticipated snow to ensure they had medications and resources to be
safe in the event of a delay in care due to weather. Then, she and
staff followed up those calls on the actual snowy day to check in
with patients and provide reassurance of their rescheduled home
care visit.

Lastly, the PCO reported to have no concerns about the care being
provided by the Debtor; it is not only in keeping with best
practice but going above and beyond to ensure patients feel
respected, valued, and safe while achieving patient outcome goals.

CCF HOLDINGS: Moody's Assigns Caa2 CFR, Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Caa2 corporate family rating
to CCF Holdings LLC and a Caa2 rating to the new 5-year senior
unsecured 10.75% paid-in-kind notes in the amount of $277 million
to be issued by the same entity. Moody's also upgraded the rating
of the 9% $42 million senior secured notes issued in September 2018
by Community Choice Financial Issuer, LLC to Caa1 from Caa2. The
rating outlook is stable.

In the same rating action, Moody's withdrew the Caa3 corporate
family rating, with a developing outlook, of the predecessor
holding company Community Choice Financial, Inc. Moody's also
withdrew the Caa3 senior secured rating, with a developing outlook,
on Community Choice Financial, Inc.'s existing 10.75% senior
secured notes in the amount of $247.3 million due May 2019 and
12.75% senior secured notes in the amount of $12.5 million due May
2020.

Moody's also withdrew the developing outlook on the $42 million
senior secured notes for its own business reasons.

Outlook, Changed To Stable From Developing

RATINGS RATIONALE

The rating action reflects the company's new capital structure
following its entering into a restructuring support agreement on 1
November 2018. The restructuring will be effectuated through a
strict foreclosure transaction, whereby all assets of the company
will be transferred to the new corporate entity (CCF Holdings LLC),
which is not owned or controlled by Community Choice Financial,
Inc.

The Caa2 corporate family rating assigned to the new holding
company entity CCF Holdings LLC, which will be the new reporting
entity reflects a weak financial profile of the predecessor
company, Community Choice Financial Inc. In the first nine months
of 2018, Community Choice Financial Inc. recorded a $36 million
financial loss, $10.8 million of which represented a debt
extinguishment fee related to the termination of the previous $47
million revolving credit facility. The Caa2 rating also reflects an
expected benefit in the company's cash flows due to reduced
interest expense, following the issuance of the new $277 million
senior unsecured PIK notes, which do not accrue cash interest, to
replace the $260 million cash interest-bearing senior secured
notes.

The Caa2 rating also reflects a high regulatory risk, especially in
light of the recent regulatory development in Ohio. The new law,
implemented in October 2018, will significantly impact the
company's credit service organization (CSO) business in the state.
The company is currently evaluating alternative product offerings
in Ohio; in absence of those, there could be a material negative
impact on its operations due to the loss of revenues.

The company is also exposed to high near-term refinancing risk
presented by the April 2019 maturity of the senior secured
subsidiary notes in the amount $63.5 million, which are not rated
by Moody's. The company has not amended the maturity of the notes
as part of the restructuring. A default on the notes would be an
Event of Default on the debt rated by Moody's. Moody's expects the
company to extend the maturity of the notes or to extinguish the
obligation before its maturity.

As a result of the restructuring, the obligations related to the
existing senior secured notes in the aggregate amount of $260
million will be extinguished. The existing notes are currently in
default, following the expiration of the grace period on the missed
interest payment, which occurred on November 1st. The new holding
company CCF Holdings LLC will be issuing new 5-year PIK notes in
the amount of $277 million, which includes the amount of the missed
interest payment on the existing senior secured notes.

The 2-year 9% $42 million senior secured notes issued in September
2018 by Community Choice Financial Issuer, LLC will remain
outstanding after the restructuring. The notes will be amended, and
their maturity will be extended to four and a half years after the
closing of the restructuring. The notes will continue to benefit
from strong asset protection under the terms of the agreement, with
at least 1.5x of asset coverage relative to the principal amount of
the notes outstanding and $26.8 million of minimum corporate
liquidity. The default on the existing $260 million senior secured
notes also caused and Event of Default on the $42 million senior
secured notes due to cross-default provisions. As part of that
amendment and restatement of the senior secured notes, the holders
will be waiving the Event of Default.

The ratings could be upgraded if the company improves its financial
performance, as evidenced by a successful introduction of
alternative lending products in Ohio or a successful expansion in
other states to mitigate a potential loss of revenues in Ohio,
which would lead to a path to sustained profitability. The ratings
could be downgraded if the company fails to extend the maturity of
or extinguish the obligations outstanding under the senior secured
subsidiary notes maturing in April 2019, fails to stabilize
profitability by successfully introducing new lending products in
Ohio or other states or if it announces a disorderly liquidation
and prospects of recovery on its notes diminish further.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Finance
Companies published in December 2018.

CHECKOUT HOLDING: Moody's Lowers CFR to Ca on Bankr. Filing
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Checkout Holding Corp.'s,
corporate family rating to Ca from Caa1 and its probability of
default rating to D-PD from Caa1-PD following the company's
commencement of voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings through a
prepackaged plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code. Moody's also downgraded the company's first
lien credit facilities to Ca from B2, and its second lien credit
facilities to C from Caa2. The outlook remains negative. The
company's ratings will be withdrawn following this rating action.

The company is pursuing a financial restructuring of its first and
second lien debts in order to implement an agreement that would
reduce its total debt by about $1.6 billion. In the proposed
scenario, Checkout would receive approximately $275 million in
debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing ($150 of which will be
rolled from existing first lien lenders) plus an additional $40
million exit facility to support the company through
reorganization. The first-lien lenders would receive 90% of the
reorganized equity, while the second-lien lenders would receive the
remaining 10%.

COPPER CANYON: Creditors Request for Ch. 11 Trustee Appointment
---------------------------------------------------------------
Creditors K.R.K., LLC, Copper Canyon Investors, LLC, Spartan
Mortgage Services, Inc., Urban Faze Ventures, LLC, and Allen W.
Warren request the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada
to issue an order directing the United States Trustee to appoint a
Chapter 11 trustee for Copper Canyon Partners LLC.

The Creditors believe that the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee
is necessary because of the Debtor's incompetence, gross
mismanagement, and conflicts of interest. Such request is also
necessary in order to protect and serve the interest of creditors
and the estate.

The Court was asked to approve the Creditors request given that the
Debtor has failed to realize any significant results after
expending tens of millions of dollars, given that the vast majority
of the money the Debtor has dissipated has gone to an engineering
firm owned and operated by one of the principals of the Debtor,
given the ongoing dispute between the Debtor’s managers, and
given the abject lack of like-type projects developed by the
Debtor’s principals.

CORE TECH: Sets Bidding Procedures for Substantially All Assets
---------------------------------------------------------------
Core Tech Solutions, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey to authorize the bidding procedures in
connection with the auction sale of substantially all assets.

A hearing on the Motion is set for Jan. 8, 2019 at 10 a.m.

During the 24 months prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor sought
various manufacturing and development projects in order to continue
operations, or in the alternative, pay operating costs until such
time as an investor or buyer for the business assets could be
found.  No interested investors or prospective buyers could be
found that were able to consummate a deal.  After careful
consideration and with the advice of its professionals, the Debtor
has determined that it is in their best interest, its estate and
its creditors to sell all its assets pursuant to a competitive
bidding process.

The Debtor will retain the services of AJ Wilner Auctions, LLC to
assist it with the auction of its assets.  AJ Wilner will
aggressively market assets to independent, small and mid-size
pharmaceutical companies nationwide using both digital and
traditional advertising.  AJ Wilner has various systems which it
uses to strategically target marketing based on Standard Industrial
Classification Codes, size of business, location and other
parameters.

On Oct. 4, 2018, the Court authorized the retention of Rushton
Atlantic to assist with the appraisal and valuation of the Debtor's
assets.  The Appraisal Report as defined by the USPAP has been
attachedto the Motion as Exhibit A.

Based on the Appraisal, as of Sept. 26, 2018, the appraised assets
are valued at the following figures: (i) Liquidation Value of the
Equipment - $553,800; and (ii) Liquidation Value of the
Intellectual Property - $888,490.

The Debtor's assets are subject to the following liens:

      a. First priority security interest in favor of Fulton Bank
of New Jersey in the amount of $752,965.  Fulton Bank's claim is
also guaranteed by Advance Core and the principals of both Advance
Core and the Debtor.

      b. Second priority security interest in favor of TD Bank,
N.A. in the amount of $100,920.  TD Bank's claim is also personally
guaranteed by the Debtor's principal, Dr. Kirti Valia.

      c. Third priority security interest in favor of National
Funding, Inc. in the amount of $22,308.  National Funding's claim
is also personally guaranteed by the Debtor's principal, Dr. Kirti
Valia.

      d. Fourth priority security interest in favor of Investors
Bank in the amount of $1,550,769.  The Investor's claim is also
personally guaranteed by the principals of both the Debtor and
Advance Core.  The proposed order directs Secured Creditors to
provide a written payoff of the amount due as the date of the Sale
Hearing along with per diem interest.  If no objection to the
amount claimed due is made within five-days of entry of the order,
Secured Creditors holding claims against the Purchased Assets will
be paid in the order of their priority.  Objections are to be filed
and served pursuant to F.R.B.P. 3007.

The Debtor has determined, after extensive diligence and in
consultation with its advisors, that maximizing the value of its
estate is best accomplished through the sale via Auction, free and
clear of liabilities, of substantially all of its assets.

By the Motion, the Debtor asks entry of the Bidding Procedures
Order: (i) approving procedures for the sale of the Purchased
Assets; (ii) scheduling a hearing to approve the sale of the
Purchased Assets on Jan. 29, 2019; and (iii) approving the form of
notice of the Auction and Sale, to be served on the Procedures
Notice Parties .  It also asks entry of the Sale Order: (i)
approving the sale of the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all
liens, claims, encumbrances and liabilities; and (ii) authorizing
the Debtor to consummate the
sale of the Purchased Assets and all documents, agreements and
contracts executed in conjunction therewith.

The salient terms of the Bidding Procedures are:

     a. Entry of Bidding Procedures Order: Dec. 18, 2018

     b. Bid Deadline: Any Time Prior to Auction

     c. Deposit: $100,000, made payable to "Scura, Wigfield, Heyer,
Stevens & Cammarota, LLP" as escrow agent

     d. Auction: The Debtor, through the Auctioneer retained in the
case, will conduct the Auction at 50 Lake Drive, East Windsor, New
Jersey 08520 on Jan. 22, 2019 at 11:00 a.m., or such other date and
time as may be fixed by the Court.

     e. Bid Increments: $10,000

     f. Sale Hearing: Jan. 29, 2019 at 10:00 a.m.

     g. Closing: The closing of the Sale of the Purchased Assets
will take place in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement
between the Debtor and successful bidder.

     h. In connection with the Sale of the Purchased Assets, the
secured credit parties, which hold perfected security interests in
the Purchased Assets, may seek to submit credit bids for such
Purchased Assets.

     i. The Purchased Assets, or any part of it, will be sold "as
is, where is," with all faults known or unknown.  The Debtor makes
no representations or warranties, express or implied.

A copy of the Bidding Procedures attached to the Motion is
available for free at:

     http://bankrupt.com/misc/Core_Tech_129_Sales.pdf

The Sale Proceeds are being realized only because of the Debtor's
efforts to conduct the Auction and Sale.  Significant time was
invested by the Debtor's counsel, and the Auctioneer, in bringing
the Auction and Sale to realization, and has incurred actual costs
and expenses which were reasonable and necessary to market and sell
the Purchased Assets for the benefit of the Secured Creditors.
Thus, the Debtor's counsel, will be granted a surcharge from the
Sale Proceeds for the Debtor's counsel's fees that have been
approved by order the Court, for reasonable and necessary expenses
incurred by the Debtor's counsel as a result of the Auction and
Sale that were for the direct benefit of the Secured Creditors.

The Debtor asks that the Auctioneer be paid in full at closing from
the Sale Proceeds in accordance with the following compensation
arrangement: $10,000 in expenses paid by the bankruptcy estate and
a 15% of each successful bid.  Accordingly, the Debtor asks that
the Auctioneer be paid at closing in accordance with the
compensation agreement unless the actual compensation and expenses
sought exceed the estimated compensation.

The Debtor asserts that given the goal by the parties in the case
to sell the Purchased Assets and bring this case to conclusion in
the short term, there is cause to waive the stay and the Debtor
asks that upon approval of the sale, the 14-day period pursuant to
Rule 6004(h) be waived by the Court.

DEX MEDIA: YPPI Loses Appeal on Declaratory Judgment, Fee Award
---------------------------------------------------------------
Yellow Pages Photos, Inc., in the case captioned DEX MEDIA, INC.,
et al., Chapter 11, Debtors, YELLOW PAGES PHOTOS, INC., Appellant,
v. DEX MEDIA, INC., Appellee, C.A. Nos. 17-96-MN, 17-265-MN,
18-197-MN (D. Del.), appeals from several decisions entered in the
chapter 11 cases of Dex Media, Inc. and certain affiliated
entities. The first is YPPI's consolidated appeal of (1) the
Bankruptcy Court's Jan. 19, 2017 Memorandum Opinion and Order
granting Dex Media's Motion to Dismiss YPPI's Counterclaims and for
Judgment on the Pleadings, and (2) the subsequent March 8, 2017
Declaratory Judgment and Order specifying the declaratory relief
granted in the Judgment on the Pleadings. YPPI further appeals the
Jan. 30, 2018 Memorandum Opinion and Order awarding Dex Media
reasonable attorneys' fees in the amount of $504,025.50 and costs
of $2,522.45.

District Judge Maryellen Noreika affirms the Judgment on the
Pleadings, Declaratory Judgment, and Fee Award.

The litigation history between the parties, including Dex Media's
wholly owned subsidiary SuperMedia, LLC is significant in each of
these appeals.

YPPI argued on appeal that the Bankruptcy Court erred in finding
that the prior and subsequent suits involved "the same parties or
their privies" because Dex Media was a close privy of SuperMedia.
The Bankruptcy Court noted that "SuperMedia is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Dex Media which justifies the finding of privity."
YPPI argued that the Bankruptcy Court erred in finding that
SuperMedia was a privy of Dex Media based solely on a finding of a
subsidiary-parent relationship. According to YPPI, the Bankruptcy
Court failed to undertake the appropriate factual inquiry
"requiring evidence of whether the parent controlled the earlier
lawsuit and its interests were represented by the subsidiary in
that earlier action."

The Court agrees with Dex Media that YPPI has waived this argument
on appeal. In its Motion for Judgment, Dex Media argued that YPPI's
claims in the Dex Media Action involved "the same parties or their
privies" as the SuperMedia Litigation. The record reflects that
YPPI did not dispute this point in its opposition or raise it
during oral argument. Having "never argued or mentioned" this issue
below, YPPI has waived the right to raise it on appeal. Even if the
issue had been raised below, however, the element of privity is
satisfied on this record. As Dex Media points out, unlike a new
plaintiff, the Third Circuit has held that "a lesser degree of
privity is required for a new defendant to invoke claim preclusion"
and this "lesser degree of privity" is satisfied so long as "there
is a close or significant relationship between successive
defendants." Here, SuperMedia is a wholly-owned affiliate of Dex
Media, was the copyright defendant in the SuperMedia Litigation,
and was a signatory to the License. The Court agrees that these
facts support the Bankruptcy Court's finding of privity.

That YPPI abandoned its "failure to assume" claims in the
SuperMedia Litigation has no effect on the applicability of claims
preclusion, as is clear under the case law. The Bankruptcy Court
properly held that YPPI's claims are barred by the doctrine of
claim preclusion because not only could YPPI have raised those
claims in the prior SuperMedia Litigation, it actually did so. YPPI
raised and then abandoned its "failure to assume" theory claims on
the eve of trial in the SuperMedia Litigation, and it cannot
resurrect them in the separate litigation against SuperMedia's
corporate parent.

YPPI also argued that the Declaratory Judgment must be reversed
because it "does not accurately reflect the Bankruptcy Court's
rulings." YPPI argues that "paragraph 2 of the Declaratory
Judgmen[t] is not accurate because it states that "Dex Media has
not infringed any of YPPI's copyrights as alleged in YPPI's Answer
and Counterclaims." The crux of YPPI's objection is that the
"Bankruptcy Court never made a finding" regarding whether Dex Media
infringed YPPI's copyrights but instead "found that YPPI is
precluded from asserting its copyright claims." YPPI argues that
"no such ruling was made nor could have been made" because the
Bankruptcy Court found in its Opinion that YPPI was precluded from
pursuing its copyright infringement counterclaim . . . based on
claim preclusion, judicial estoppel, and collateral estoppel." "No
other findings were made," "no infringement analysis was conducted
and no conclusion about infringement was reached." Conversely, Dex
Media argues that, as the copyright claimant, YPPI bore the "burden
to prove that acts of infringement [by Dex Media] occurred." In the
Opinion, the Bankruptcy Court determined that YPPI was precluded,
judicially estopped, and collaterally estopped from asserting that
Dex Media had infringed YPPI's copyrights, so including such a
ruling is not inaccurate. The Court agrees with Dex Media. Given
that YPPI is barred from even asserting that Dex Media committed
any acts of infringement, let alone meeting its burden of proving
such infringement, there is nothing "inaccurate" about the
Bankruptcy Court's issuance of a declaration of non-infringement in
the Declaratory Judgment.

Finally, after presiding over YPPI's copyright infringement claims
for more than four years, the Bankruptcy Court determined that YPPI
was estopped from pursuing additional infringement claims against
SuperMedia's parent on its previously abandoned "failure to assume"
theory and granted the Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. The
Bankruptcy Court then properly entered a separate Declaratory
Judgment specifying the relief granted. As the prevailing party in
the litigation, the Bankruptcy Court determined that a fee award
was appropriate under section 505, based on the objective
unreasonableness of YPPI's claims and the need to advance
considerations of deterrence and compensation. The Bankruptcy Court
undertook a line by line review of each attorney's time records,
applied its independent judgment to approximate what fees were
reasonably necessary for each dispute, and made significant
reductions. In undertaking the review, the Bankruptcy Court
fulfilled its obligation to determine "whether the hours set out
were reasonably expended for each of the particular purposes
described and then exclude those that are 'excessive, redundant, or
otherwise unnecessary.' Far from abusing its discretion in awarding
fees, the Bankruptcy Court adhered to the framework set forth in
controlling case law.

DRAW ANOTHER CIRCLE: S. Peterson Bid to File Late Claim Rejected
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Kevin J. Carey denied Shelly Adele Peterson's
motion for leave to file a late claim.

On June 13, 2016, the Debtors filed chapter 11 bankruptcy
petitions. The Debtors' plan of liquidation was confirmed by an
order of the Court dated Feb. 14, 2017. The Plan established a
Liquidating Trust for the purpose of, among other things,
administering, monetizing and liquidating the Liquidating Trust
Assets, resolving all Disputed Claims, and making all Distributions
from the Liquidating Trust as provided for in the Plan and the
Liquidating Trust Agreement.

In her motion, Peterson claims she was the victim of a false arrest
in one of the Debtors' stores, and her claim seeks damages, as well
as sanctions, in the amount of $24 million for (among other things)
unlawful imprisonment, false felony charges, perjury, concealment
of evidence, racketeering, and fraud.

On Nov. 5, 2018, the Liquidating Trustee filed an objection to the
Late Claim Motion. In addition to arguing that Ms. Peterson has not
proved excusable neglect for filing a late claim, the objection
includes a request that any order denying the Late Claim Motion
also prohibit further correspondence and filings by Ms. Peterson
regarding her claims. Ms. Peterson filed a Response on Nov. 14,
2018, and a hearing was held on Nov. 19, 2018.

Ms. Peterson's Late Claim Motion describes the basis of her claim
and asserts that notices sent by the Claims Agent were not
addressed properly. In response, the Liquidating Trustee argues
that an analysis of the Pioneer factors weighs against allowing Ms.
Peterson to file a late claim.

The first Pioneer factor -- prejudice to the Debtor -- "does not
refer to an imagined or hypothetical harm; a finding of prejudice
should be a conclusion based on the facts in evidence." The
Liquidating Trustee argues that allowing Ms. Peterson to file a
late claim would result in prejudice to the Trust, as successor to
the Debtors' estates.

The Court holds that the Late Claim Motion contains a mixture of
legal conclusions and unknown theories of damages, with little or
no credible support. To grant leave to file her claim at this
juncture would disrupt the Trust's administration of the estate and
cause the Trust to incur significant time and money to determine
the validity and amount of the claim. The Debtors' liquidation may
further complicate the Trust's ability to find witnesses and
evidence to verify the claim. Reviewing this matter in light of the
considerations for prejudice recognized by the Third Circuit in
O'Brien Environmental, the Court concludes that this factor weighs
in favor of the Trust.

The second Pioneer factor to consider is the length of the delay in
asserting a claim and the impact of the delay on the judicial
proceedings. Here, Ms. Peterson first contacted counsel for the
Liquidating Trustee one year after the Bar Date and about three
months after the Court granted the Trust's objection to her
scheduled claim. She followed up by filing a letter with the Court
in November 2017 and the Petition in July 2018. Even if I
determined that the actual length of this delay was not excessively
long, still, the delay will impact estate administration. This
factor weighs in favor of the Trust.

The third factor, reason for the delay, also weighs in favor of the
Trust. The gist of Ms. Peterson’s argument is that she did not
receive proper notice of the Bar Date or of the objection to her
scheduled claim. She argues that the mailing address used by the
Claims Agent was incomplete because it did not include her
apartment or unit number. To support this claim, she attached to
her Motion copies of the envelopes received from the Debtors’
Claims Agent with the incomplete address. Ms. Peterson's possession
of the envelopes contradicts the basis underlying her request to
file a late claim. Neither the Debtors nor the Liquidating Trustee
contributed to Ms. Peterson’s delay in filing her claim.

The final Pioneer factor is the movant's good faith in seeking to
file a late proof of claim. The Liquidating Trustee questions Ms.
Peterson’s good faith because she claimed that she was not
properly served with notices, even though she had envelopes from
the Debtors' Claims Agent in her possession. However, even assuming
without deciding that Ms. Peterson acted in good faith, that
finding would not materially alter the analysis determining that
the other three Pioneer factors weigh against a determination of
excusable neglect.

DUMITRU MEDICAL: PCO Files 1st Report
-------------------------------------
Charles J. Taunt, the Patient Care Ombudsman, filed a first report
for Dumitru Medical Center PC for the period of October 4, 2018 to
December 14, 2018.

The PCO noted that the Debtor appears to have continued the same
quality of care post-petition as prepetition.

During visit, the PCO observed that the facility was neat, orderly,
and businesslike. The reception area was clean and modern with
appropriate patient privacy spaces. The PCO further observed that
the patient rooms were clean, included sinks for handwashing,
gloves and sharps disposal. The offices were removed from the
patient rooms to provide further patient privacy. The lab space
also appeared neat and orderly. The Ombudsman is advised that the
lab is used primarily for drug and urine screening, with all other
diagnostics being sent offsite. The facility is cleaned daily by
staff.

Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. E.D. Mich. Lead Case No.
18-52936) on Sept. 21, 2018.

In the petitions signed by Mr. Sandulescu, DMC, estimated assets of
less than $1 million and liabilities of less than $1 million.
Doctor One estimated less than $1 million in assets and less than
$500,000 in liabilities.   

The Debtors tapped Lynn M. Brimer, Esq., at Strobl & Sharp, PC, as
their bankruptcy counsel.


DUMITRU MEDICAL: Selling Sandulescu's Cleveland Property for $25K
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dumitru Medical Center, P.C., Doctor One Housecall Physicians, P.C.
and Dumitru O. Sandulescu, ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Michigan to authorize the private sale of
Sandulescu's real property located at 1814 Forestdale Avenue,
Cleveland, Ohio to Mercedes Gonzalez for $25,000.

An asset of the Debtor Sandulescu's estate is the Property.  On
Nov. 28, 2018, he received an Offer to Purchase Real Estate and
Acceptance from Gonzalez, for the purchase of the Property, at the
agreed price.

The material terms of the Purchase Agreement are:

     a. Gonzalez is the purchaser of the Property for a purchase
price of $25,000;

     b. Within four days of acceptance of the Purchase Agreement,
which agreement was accepted by the Debtor Sandulescu on Nov. 30,
2018, Gonzalez is required to escrow $1,000 as a good faith deposit
earnest money deposit;

     c. The closing will occur on Jan. 16, 2019;

     d. The sale is "as is, where is";

     e. As a condition of the purchase agreement, Debtor Sandulescu
and his wife will transfer all of their right, title and interest
in the Property to Anibal Camargo via a Warranty Deed at the
closing; and

     f. The sale is contingent upon court approval.

On Dec. 6, 2018, Debtor Sandulescu requested consent from the
Internal Revenue Service and the United States Trustee to the
private sale of the Property to Gonzalez based on the terms of the
Purchase Agreement.  On Nov. 28, 2018, Gonzalez made the offer to
purchase the Property and executed the disclosures; Debtor
Sandulescu and his wife executed the Purchase Agreement on Nov. 30,
2018, and on Dec. 1, 2018, Gonzalez ratified the Purchase
Agreement.  Debtor Sandulescu wishes to proceed with the sale of
the Property to Gonzalez with the deed to be transferred to Anibal
Camargo.

The sale of the Property through the Private Sale as set forth in
the Purchase Agreement is necessary for an effective reorganization
of Sandulescu's debt.  The proceeds will substantially reduce his
obligations to the Internal Revenue Service.  He is prepared to
proceed with the sale as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

The Debtors propose that upon the closing of the sale, the 6%
commission would be paid to Howard Hanna.  The secured claim of the
Internal Revenue Service for Sandulescu's individual income taxes
plus interest as of the Petition Date with respect to the Property
will be paid at closing.  The balance of the sale proceeds, if any,
less any standard closing costs assessed against seller, will be
placed in an escrow account with Debtors’ counsel, Strobl &
Sharp, P.C., until the time of confirmation of the Debtors' plan of
reorganization.  Upon the entry of an order confirming plan, Strobl
& Sharp, P.C., acting as escrow agent, will distribute funds
pursuant to the order confirming plan.

Due to the need to transition the Property as quickly as possible
and in order to protect and preserve the Property, the stay as set
forth in Fed. R. Bank. P. 6004 (h) should be waived.

ENERGYSOLUTIONS LLC: Moody's Lowers CFR to B3, Outlook Neg.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded EnergySolutions, LLC's
Corporate Family Rating to B3 from B2, the Probability of Default
Rating to B3-PD from B2-PD and the senior secured first-lien
ratings to B3 from B2. The rating outlook is negative.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The downgrade to B3 reflects the lack of meaningful progress and
increased uncertainty of the San Onofre decontamination and
decommissioning project versus Moody's expectation that activity at
SONGS would be ramping up beginning in the second half of 2018 and
into 2019. The project delay comes at a time EnergySolutions' has
sharply reduced financial flexibility following the nearly $180
million debt-financed distribution to its private equity sponsor,
Energy Capital Partners (ECP), in Q2 2018. The delay in SONGS also
coincides with the asset retirement obligation adjustment in Q3
2018 that reflected unexpected cost overruns on the final phase of
the Zion (IL) D&D project. The impact of these events has pushed
debt-to-EBITDA to nearly 7x and weakened the liquidity position as
free cash flow, excluding the ECP distribution, was expected to be
modestly positive for 2018. Free cash flow is instead significantly
negative through September and will likely be negative over the
next year with lower than expected earnings and having to fund the
Zion cost overruns. Up to this point, Moody's doesn't expect the
slow start on SONGS to impact the total value of the project for
EnergySolutions but delays increase overall uncertainty to
financial results, especially with the elevated debt level and
weakened liquidity based on higher revolving credit facility usage
and lower cash.

The aggressively-sized dividend to ECP and the delay with the SONGS
project leaves EnergySolutions in a similar position it faced a few
years ago - a stretched balance sheet paired with an operating
model reliant on large, infrequent projects that are prone to
delays but without earnings from the divested Projects, Products &
Technology business.

Moody's took the following rating actions on EnergySolutions, LLC:

Ratings downgraded:

  - Corporate Family Rating, to B3 from B2

  - Probability of Default, to B3-PD from B2-PD

  - Senior secured 1st lien revolving credit facility, to B3 (LGD3)
from B2 (LGD3)

  - Senior secured 1st lien term loan, to B3 (LGD3) from B2 (LGD3)

Rating outlook to negative from stable

The B3 CFR reflects EnergySolutions' leading position in the
nuclear waste management industry, unique high-value assets and
technical expertise handling/servicing hazardous waste materials
that position it to benefit from the potential upside of eventual
nuclear plant decommissioning projects. With up to 14 nuclear
plants expected to go offline within the next couple of years and
approximately 30 reactors at-risk over the next 10 years,
EnergySolutions is poised to capture at least some portion of
project work and ultimately, incremental Class A radioactive waste
volumes. Offsetting these strengths is an uneven performance
including weak free cash flow generation, the small scale due to
reliance on a low-volume, specialty waste industry in secular
decline and the susceptibility of D&D projects to experience
indefinite delays or deferrals. Within the B3 rating, Moody's
expects that D&D work at SONGS will ramp up around mid-2019. In the
absence of additional D&D project wins, de-levering and improved
liquidity hinges on meaningful progress at SONGS.

Liquidity is expected to remain weaker than previously anticipated
with Moody's expectations that due to the modest cash position and
negative free cash flow, the company will increase reliance on the
$150 million revolving credit facility (currently about $45 million
outstanding with $89 million available after deducting posted
letters of credit) to fund additional cost overruns at Zion, term
loan amortization and other cash needs. Free cash flow is
significantly negative for the latest twelve months ended September
30, 2018 and expected to improve once SONGS activity ramps up in
2019. However, delayed approval (e.g. beyond Q2 2019) will almost
certainly result in the continuation of sizable negative free cash
flow. The revolving credit facility (expiring 2023) was upsized by
$25 million in Q2 2018 to accommodate higher anticipated needs for
letters of credit as D&D awards are expected to increase over the
next couple of years. There are no near term debt maturities other
than term loan amortization payments of 1% ($5.75 million) per
year. The revolving facility is subject to only a springing net
leverage covenant to be tested if the aggregate amount of
outstanding borrowings, net of a certain amount of letters of
credit, exceeds a set percentage of the facility. Moody's believes
there is a strong likelihood that increased revolver borrowings
will trigger the covenant requirement with only a modest level of
cushion within the maximum covenant level until the SONGS
decommissioning work ramps up. There are no term loan financial
maintenance covenants.

The outlook is negative, reflecting uncertainty about the timing of
the SONGS project ramp up and Moody's concern that revolver usage
will continue to create weak liquidity at least until the SONGS
project commences full D&D activities which is likely several
quarters away. The outlook also includes the potential for
additional Zion cost overruns to be funded with revolver borrowings
as it nears completion in late-2019/early-2020. The outlook could
be stabilized with improved liquidity in the form of a
substantially higher cash balance, increasing availability under
the revolving credit facility and positively trending free cash
flow generation.

Moody's could downgrade EnergySolutions' ratings due to an extended
disruption, delay or loss in value of the SONGS project, the
inability to generate materially stronger free cash flow in 2019 or
failure to capture a meaningful percentage of upcoming D&D project
awards. Debt-to-EBITDA remaining over 6.5x for an extended period
of time, an even weaker liquidity position or a flat-to-weaker
EBITDA margin would also result in a downgrade. Finally, with
headline risk always present, a major accident related to
radioactive material handling could also warrant a downgrade.

Upward rating activity is not anticipated at this time but over a
longer time horizon, Moody's could upgrade EnergySolutions' ratings
if the company accelerates growth in margins and free cash flow
stemming from an uptick in contract wins on upcoming nuclear plant
D&D projects. Additionally, greater stability and diversity in
revenues supported by multiple D&D projects occurring
simultaneously and debt-to-EBITDA approaching 5x could result in
positive rating pressure. A more conservative financial policy than
demonstrated in 2018 would also be necessary for an upgrade.

EnergySolutions, Inc. provides a broad range of services to the
nuclear power industry including transportation, processing and
disposal of low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) and clean-up and
repair of nuclear sites. With two of the four privately-owned or
operated disposal sites in the US for LLRW, the company handles 90%
of all domestic Class A LLRW disposal volume - the US Government is
the only authorized agent for processing and disposing of
high-level radioactive waste. Revenues for the latest twelve months
ended September 30, 2018 were approximately $390 million.

EnergySolutions was taken private when it was purchased by funds
affiliated with private equity firm Energy Capital Partners in May
2013.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Environmental
Services and Waste Management Companies published in April 2018.

FAIRWAY ENERGY: Sets Sale Procedures for All Assets
---------------------------------------------------
Fairway Energy, LP, Fairway Energy GP, LLC, and Fairway Energy
Partners, LLC, ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware to authorize the bidding procedures in connection with the
sale of substantially all assets.

A hearing on the Motion is set for Jan. 8, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. (ET).
The objection deadline is Dec. 20, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. (ET).

Since the spring of 2018, the Debtors have experienced liquidity
issues given various operational and market obstacles that impeded
use of the Pierce Junction Crude Oil Storage Facility.  For the
nine months, ended Sept. 30, 2018, Fairway had an operating loss of
$38.6 million (before interest, expense, and other income) and has
had no revenues.  Their liquidity constraints impacted both their
ability to operate and to comply with their obligations under that
certain senior secured term loan Credit Agreement originally dated
as of March 29, 2017, and the latest of which is dated as of Nov.
20, 2018 pursuant to the Eighth Waiver and Eighth Amendment to
Credit Agreement.

The Prepetition Credit Agreement originally provided for a senior
secured term loan credit facility of up to $80 million with an
additional $50 million of borrowing available if certain conditions
were met.  Currently, over $95 million in obligations remain
outstanding under the Prepetition Facility.

Anticipating a liquidity issue, beginning in March 2018, the
Debtors engaged in negotiations with their lender and
administrative agent under the Prepetition Credit Agreement,
Riverstone Credit Partners, L.P. (together with its affiliated
entities acting as DIP Agent and DIP Lender under the DIP Order
regarding the terms on which Fairway could obtain additional runway
and avoid an event of default under the Prepetition Credit
Agreement.

In connection with the foregoing, the Debtors engaged Piper Jaffray
& Co., through its Simmons & Company International division, in
August 2017, to act as financial advisor.  As it became evident
that the Debtors required additional sources of financing, the
Debtors instructed Simmons to identify, assess and explore options
to address their liquidity concerns, which it has done since it was
retained in August 2017.  To address the Debtors’ liquidity
constraints and obtain additional working capital, Simmons and the
Debtors engaged in numerous exploratory discussions with various
potential buyers and lenders.

Believing that a sale process pursued in the Chapter 11 Cases would
best maximize value for their estates, the Debtors have determined
that a reasonably prompt and open sale of all or substantially all
of their assets in accordance with the Bidding Procedures, will
enable them to obtain the highest or otherwise best offer(s) for
the Assets, thereby maximizing the value of such Assets for the
benefit of their estates and creditors.

In order provide the necessary funding to allow the Debtors to run
the Sale process described and in the Bidding Procedures, the
Debtors have obtained from Riverstone (through its affiliates) a
$20 million commitment for post-petition financing.  On Nov. 29,
2018, the Court entered the DIP Order.  A request for approval of
the DIP Facility on a final basis is scheduled for Jan. 8, 2019.

Piper continues to advise the Debtors in connection with the
proposed bidding process and Sale.  Accordingly, the Debtors will
soon file an application to continue to employ Piper as their
investment banker in these Chapter 11 Cases.  Given the extensive
marketing undertaken pre-bankruptcy, Piper believes it has
sufficient time to conduct a robust marketing and solicitation
process under the milestones in the DIP Facility and DIP Order to
ensure that a market tested sale price is obtained.

By the Motion, the Debtors respectfully ask the entry of two orders
concerning the Sale of the Assets.  First, to provide for an
orderly sale process, they ask the immediate entry of the Sale
Procedures Order: (i) approving the Bidding Procedures setting
forth the process by which the Debtors are authorized to conduct
the Sale; (ii) establishing certain dates and deadlines, including
the bid deadline and the date of the Auction; (iii) scheduling the
Sale Hearing; (iv) approving the form and manner of notice of the
Auction and the Sale Hearing as described; and (v) establishing the
Assumption and Assignment Procedures.

Second, following the entry of the Sale Procedures Order, the
solicitation of Bids according to the Bidding Procedures, and the
Auction (if applicable), at the Sale Hearing the Debtors will
request the entry of the Sale Order, in a form to be filed by the
Debtors no later than 10 days after the entry of the Sale
Procedures Order: (a) authorizing and approving the Sale of
substantially all of the Debtors' Assets free and clear of all
liens, claims, encumbrances and other interests; and (b)
authorizing (as applicable) the assumption and assignment or
rejection of certain executory contracts and unexpired leases in
connection with the Sale.

The DIP Order provides that, subject to the Final Order, Riverstone
will have the unqualified right to credit bid up to the full amount
of the DIP Obligations and the Prepetition Obligations and the DIP
Superpriority Claim and the Adequate Protection Superpriority Claim
without the need for further Court order authorizing same.  Under
the DIP Credit Agreement, the Debtors are required to obtain entry
of an order approving the Bidding Procedures by Jan. 10, 2019.  It
further requires the Debtors to obtain the Court's approval of the
Sale by March 26, 2019, and the Debtors are required to consummate
the Sale by April 16, 2019.  The Debtors have designed the proposed
Sale process in consultation with Riverstone, who has reviewed
these procedures and is in support of the Sale process and the
Bidding Procedures.

The salient terms of the Bidding Procedures are:

     a. Bid Deadline: Feb. 27, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. (ET)

     b. Auction: In the event the Debtors determine, in
consultation with Riverstone and any Committee, to conduct an
Auction, the Auction will take place on March 7, 2019 at 10:00 a.m.
(CT) at the offices of Haynes and Boone, LLP, 1221 McKinney, Suite
2100, Houston, Texas 77010


     c. Bid Increments: Bidding at the Auction will begin with the
Baseline Bid(s) and continue, in one or more rounds of bidding, so
long as, during each round, at least one subsequent bid is
submitted by a Qualified Bidder(s) that improves upon such
Qualified Bidder's immediately prior Qualified Bid.

     d. Sale Hearing: As soon as reasonably practicable after
closing the Auction

     e. Sale Objection Deadline: March 11, 2019 at 00 p.m. (ET)

     f. In the event the Debtors receive two or more Qualified Bids
for the Assets, the Debtors and their professionals will conduct
the Auction.  Prior to the commencement of the Auction, the
Debtors, in consultation with Riverstone and any Committee, will
determine which Qualified Bids constitute the Baseline Bid(s) for
the Assets.  At least one business day prior to the Auction, the
Debtors will notify each Qualified Bidder of the contents of the
Baseline Bid(s).  The Baseline Bid(s) will be subject to higher and
better Bids at the Auction.

     g. Stalking Horse Bidder: Following entry of the Sale
Procedures Order, the Debtors will be authorized, but not
obligated, to select one or more potential bidders to act as a
stalking horse bidder for all or any portion of the Assets, and may
agree to provide such Stalking Horse Bidder(s) Bid Protections.

     h. Riverstone, or its designee, is deemed a Qualified Bidder
for all purposes under the Bidding Procedures and will have the
right to make a credit bid on behalf of Riverstone of all or a
portion of any outstanding amounts owing under the DIP Loan
Documents and the Prepetition Loan Documents, which such bid or
bids will be deemed to be a Qualified Bid(s) regardless of whether
it submits a Bid by the Bid Deadline.

After entry of the Sale Procedures Order, the Debtors will cause
the Notice of Auction and Sale Hearing upon all notice parties.
Promptly after entry of the Sale Procedures Order, the Debtors will
serve the completed Assumption and Assignment Notice upon all
interested parties.

The Debtors will prepare two forms of Purchase Agreements for the
sale of the Assets, a copy of which will be filed on or before the
date of the hearing to consider approval of the Bidding Procedures
and which will thereafter be provided to prospective purchasers,
pursuant to which a prospective purchaser would acquire the equity
interests in FEP LLC or the other Assets.

Within three business days after entry of the Sale Procedures
Order, the Debtors will provide the Sale Notice upon all Sale
Notice parties.  As part of the Sale, the Debtors ask authority to
assume and assign the Assumed and Assigned Contracts to the
Successful Bidder(s).  As promptly as possible after the entry of
the Sale Procedures Order, the Debtors will file with the Court and
serve on each party to a potential Assumed and Assigned Contract
the Cure Notice.  The General Objection Deadline is Feb. 12, 2019
at 4:00 p.m. (ET).  The Supplemental Objection Deadline is March
11, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. (ET).

An expeditious closing of the Sale is necessary and appropriate to
maximize value for the estates.  Accordingly, good cause exists for
the Court to waive the 14-day stay period under Bankruptcy Rules
6004(h) and 6006(d).

GEO PARENT: Moody's Rates $175MM Secured Loans 'B2'
---------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 rating to the prospective
$25 million senior secured revolving credit facility and a B2
rating to the $150 million senior secured term loan issued by Geo
Parent Corporation. In addition, Moody's assigned a B2 Corporate
Family Rating and B2-PD Probability of Default rating to GSI. The
rating outlook is stable. This is the first time Moody's has
assigned a rating to GSI.

The term loan proceeds and a cash equity contribution from private
equity sponsor, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. ("KKR"), will be used
to purchase GSI from its current owner plus pay fees and expenses,
and allocate cash to GSI's balance sheet. The proposed transaction
is expected to modestly increase leverage and extend debt
maturities.

Assignments:

Issuer: Geo Parent Corporation

Probability of Default Rating, Assigned B2-PD

Corporate Family Rating, Assigned B2

Gtd Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, Assigned B2 (LGD3)

Gtd Senior Secured Term Loan, Assigned B2 (LGD3)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Geo Parent Corporation

Outlook, Assigned Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

GSI's B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects the favorable
fundamentals that will continue to support investment in
transportation infrastructure. Decades of under-investment has, and
will continue, to create considerable demand for geohazard
mitigation services. A significant portion of GSI's revenues are
derived from contracts with public transportation infrastructure
customers, which provide a relatively stable source of cash flow
and help mitigate the volatility of capital and economic cycles. In
addition, GSI has a very broad customer base that includes state
departments of transportation and a diverse mix of private sector
companies in the mining, commercial, rail and energy segments. The
company's top five customers representing approximately 35% of
revenues. The rating also reflects solid credit metrics for its
rating category, including proforma Adjusted Debt/EBITDA for 2018
of 4.7x and Adjusted EBITA/Interest Expense of 2.4x.

These factors are counterbalanced by GSI's small size and scale in
a highly fragmented market, which could result in difficulty
managing changes in demand, geographic diversity and cost
absorption as well as less bargaining strength with customers,
labor, and vendors. The company is also exposed to the cyclical
economic demand of commodities, particularly under contractual
agreements that prohibit price negotiation for a period of several
months. The construction industry is experiencing a shortage of
skilled labor, which could limit the size and scope of future
projects for GSI. Finally, event risk exists associated with
potential shareholder friendly actions given the private equity
ownership of the company.

Free cash flow is expected to be positive over the next twelve
months with minimal use of its revolving line of credit. GSI has a
highly experienced management team with professional engineering
experience which should help support the company's efforts to grow
and diversify over time.

The stable outlook reflects its expectation that Geo Parent Corp.
will generate steady revenue and earnings growth, supported by a
growing backlog of projects, while remaining prudent in its
investments and acquisitions.

Moody's indicated that a rating upgrade would reflect profitable
growth, with sales approaching $1 billion, debt/EBITDA maintained
below 5.0x, interest coverage sustained above 2.5x and maintenance
of positive free cash. Negative rating pressure would likely result
from substantial deterioration in credit metrics including
Debt/EBITDA approaching 6.0x and interest coverage approaching
1.5x. In addition, any weakening of GSI's liquidity profile would
likely result in a negative rating action.

Geo Parent Corporation, headquartered in Commerce City, CO,
provides geohazard mitigation solutions for the restoration and
maintenance of roadways and other vital infrastructure. The company
operates across the U.S. and Canada and total revenue for the
twelve month period ended September 30, 2018 was $151 million.

GRANITE ACQUISITION: Moody's Affirms B1 CFR, Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the ratings of Granite
Acquisition, Inc., including its B1 Corporate Family Rating, B1
first lien senior secured rating, B3 second lien senior secured
rating, and SGL-2 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating. The rating
outlook is stable.

In October 2018, Granite's current sponsor Energy Capital Partners
announced that funds under ECP management had signed a definitive
agreement with Fawkes Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of Macquarie
Infrastructure Partners IV. MIP IV is an infrastructure fund
managed by the Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Asset division of
the Macquarie Group, under which Fawkes Holdings will acquire
Wheelabrator Technologies, Inc., which indirectly owns Granite. The
acquisition is expected to be completed in the first quarter of
2019.

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Granite Acquisition, Inc.

Outlook, Remains Stable

Affirmations:

Issuer: Granite Acquisition, Inc.

Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed B1-PD

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Affirmed SGL-2

Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed B1

Senior Secured First Lien Term Loan, Affirmed B1 (LGD3)

Senior Secured First Lien Revolving Credit Facility, Affirmed B1
(LGD3)

Senior Secured Second Lien Term Loan, Affirmed B3 (LGD6)

RATINGS RATIONALE

"We do not expect any material change to Granite's credit quality
with the change in sponsorship from ECP to MIP IV because the
company's capital structure will remain the same and its credit
metrics should be unchanged under the new sponsorship," stated
Jairo Chung, Moody's analyst.

The affirmation of Granite's B1 CFR reflects Moody's expectation
that the company will maintain a consistent financial profile with
its cash flow from operations before changes in working capital
(CFO pre-WC) to debt ratio between the mid-to-high single digits,
including project debt. Moody's expects Granite to continue to
benefit from the re-pricing of its waste disposal contracts and
strong boiler availability. For the third quarter 2018, Granite's
boilers averaged about 93% availability.

Granite's credit rating and profile also incorporate the company's
combined risks from its relatively stable waste disposal segment
and higher risk energy segment. Approximately 60% of the company's
cash flow is generated from the more stable disposal segment, which
are underpinned by long-term contracts. However, the energy segment
continues to add volatility to the company's earnings and cash
flows. In addition, Granite has a highly levered capital
structure.

Liquidity

Granite's SGL-2 liquidity rating reflect the company's good
liquidity profile over the next 12 months. At the end of the third
quarter 2018, Granite had $105 million of cash and cash equivalents
on hand. Moody's expects Granite to generate enough cash to cover
its maintenance capital investments and base cash obligations,
except for its U.K. projects that are currently under construction,
over the next 12 months. The U.K. projects are already funded with
long-term debt at the project level.

Granite has a $145 million senior secured first lien revolving
credit facility that can be utilized to issue letters of credit.
Granite had approximately $65 million available under this
revolving credit facility after issuing letters of credit to
support the Kemsley, North Wales and Shasta projects. This facility
has one covenant, which requires that the debt service coverage
ratio (DSCR) be 1.10x or greater. Granite was in compliance with
this covenant at the end of 30 September 2018.

Rating Outlook

The stable outlook incorporates Moody's expectation that Granite's
capital structure and credit profile are maintained following the
closing of the pending acquisition. The stable outlook also
reflects its view that Granite will continue to mitigate the risks
associated with weak power markets in the U.S. and from the
construction of the three new EfW facilities in the U.K. Also, it
incorporates Moody's expectation that the company's CFO pre-WC to
debt ratio will be maintained above the mid-single digits.

Factors that Could Lead to an Upgrade

A rating upgrade could be considered if Granite's cash flow to debt
metrics improve such that its CFO pre-WC to debt ratio is above 10%
on a sustained basis; and the company is successful in completing
its three new U.K EfW facilities on time and within budget.

Factors that Could Lead to a Downgrade

A rating downgrade could be considered if Granite's key credit
metrics deteriorate such that its CFO pre-WC to debt ratio falls
below 5% or there are material negative changes to its capital
structure. Also, if there is an increase in business risk resulting
in greater volatility around cash flows or if there are sustained
operational difficulties or construction project delays leading to
financial deterioration, a rating downgrade could be considered.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Unregulated
Utilities and Unregulated Power Companies published in May 2017.

Granite Acquisition, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary
Wheelabrator Technologies, Inc., is the second largest
energy-from-waste (EfW) facility operator in the U.S. Wheelabrator
owns and operates 19 EfW facilities, including Ferrybridge 1 and
three new facilities under construction in the U.K., 3 IPP
facilities and 4 ash landfills.

HENRY HERRMANN: 2305 Wesley Buying Ocean City Property for $1.65M
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Henry Charles Herrmann and Karen Joan Herrmann ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania to
authorize the sale of the real property located at 23 05 Wesley
Avenue, Ocean City, New Jersey for 2305 Wesley Avenue, LLC for $1.6
million, and furniture for $50,000, subject to higher and better
offers.

Since its retention, Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Fox and Roach
Realtors has been actively soliciting purchasers for the Property.
Through the efforts, the Broker has secured an offer from the Buyer
to purchase the Property for $1.6 million.  The Sale is not subject
to a financing contingency.  The parties have entered into an
agreement to memorialize the terms of the Sale to the Buyer.
Furthermore, the Buyer has offered to purchase the Debtors'
furniture for the purchase price of $50,000, pursuant to the terms
of that Amendment to Contract for Real Estate.

The Broker has received indications of interest from other
potential purchasers to purchase the Property, but the sale to the
Buyer, at this time, appears to be the highest and best offer the
Broker has received at this point.  The Broker intends to market
the Sale Agreement to negotiate with other potential purchasers in
the hope that a higher and better offer is made.  The closing of
the Sale is scheduled to occur 60 days from the date of entry of
the Order approving the Sale.

The Buyer is required to make an initial deposit of $25,000 within
10 days of the execution of the Sale Agreement.  Further, it has
agreed to accept the Property under the terms and conditions of the
Sale Agreement.  The Buyer has reserved certain inspection
contingencies and it is anticipated that any such inspection will
be complete prior to the hearing date on the Motion.

The Sale is subject to higher and better offers from third parties.
Competing offers will be due in writing to the Debtors and the
Broker on the close of business on Jan. 7, 2019.  Unless and until
any higher and better offer with an alternate purchaser is approved
and consummated by the Debtors, the Buyer will continue to remain
obligated on the Agreement of Sale.  The Sale is subject to
approval by the Court and expressly contingent upon such approval.

The Debtors have investigated the liens against the Property and
have determined that the only valid lien encumbering the Property
is held by US Bank, N.A. as Legal Title Trustee for Truman 2016 SC6
Title Trust as reflected in its Proof of Claim # 10 filed in the
case, in the amount of $1,590,763.

The Debtors ask approval to enter into the Sale Agreement and sell
the Property, subject to higher and better offers.  They believe
that the price being offered for the Property is both fair and
reasonable.  Nevertheless, the Debtors are providing creditors and
parties in interest with adequate notice of the Motion to alert and
potentially stimulate any other interested bidders.  Overall, the
Debtors do not believe that formal bid procedures or an auction is
necessary nor would it be cost effective here, especially given the
marketing efforts already undertaken by the Broker.  The Debtors
acknowledge, however, that in the event that any other interested
party should be located, they would be entitled to step forward to
offer a higher and better price.

The Debtors also ask that the sale be free and clear of all liens,
claims, encumbrances and interests.  They, with the anticipated
consent of US Bank, ask the Court to permit the following payments
from the sale of the Property:

     (a) First, to satisfy all closing costs and expenses relating
to the Sale;

     (b) Second, to Flaster/Greenberg, P.C. in an amount equal to
its outstanding and approved fees and costs in the case, or some
other amount to which the parties may consent;

     (c) Third, to US Bank on account of its first priority,
secured claim; and

     (d) Finally, all remaining proceeds, if any, to be paid to the
Debtors' estate.

The sale of the Personalty, and which is subject to the Amendment,
would result in a return directly to the Debtors' estate as it is
unencumbered.  The Debtors are serving the Motion on all creditors
and parties in interest, including any party that indicated a
desire to purchase the Property.  They suggest that any interested
bidder present an offer which is higher and better for the Property
prior to the objection deadline.  If such an alternate purchaser
surfaces, the Debtors will certainly entertain such a sale
agreement.

The Debtors ask the Court to waive the stay requirements under Rule
6004(h) in connection with the sale.

HOSPITAL SANTA ROSA: Court Grants US Bid to Dismiss C&L, Makko Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Senior Judge Susan G. Braden granted the United States' motion to
dismiss the case captioned C & L GROUP, LLC, and MAKKO
CONSTRUCTION, LLC, Plaintiffs, v. THE UNITED STATES, Defendant, No.
18-536 C (Fed. Cl.).

The April 13, 2018 Complaint alleges that: (1) Plaintiffs entered
into Contracts with Hospital Santa Rosa, Inc. (HSR) "with the
express appearance and concurrence of . . . Rural Development, as
lender or insurer of funds to defray the costs of the
[C]ontract[s];" (2) "[o]ne of the principal factors and
considerations for [Plaintiffs] entering into their [C]ontracts
with HSR was the assurance and guarantee that federal funds had
been dedicated for the construction of the [h]ospital[,]" evidenced
by the June 23, 2016 letter; and (3) the money owed to Plaintiffs,
in the amount of $334,171.95, plus interest, and $190,736.98, plus
interest, respectively, was "guaranteed by Rural [Development], as
per [Rural Development's Community Programs Director's] letter of
June 23, 2016 . . . and as concurred to thereby in their contracts
with HSR."

The Government argued that the April 13, 2018 Complaint should be
dismissed, pursuant to RCFC 12(b)(1), because "[P]laintiffs' lack
privity of contract with the United States." Plaintiffs entered
into contracts with HSR, to which Rural Development concurred as
lender of funds to HSR. This approval, however, did not bind Rural
Development, because the Contracts expressly state that "[n]either
the United States nor any of its departments, agencies, or
employees is or will be a party to this CONTRACT[.]" The receipt of
payments from Rural Development through HSR, after completion of
payment certifications, "does not create a contractual relationship
where one does not exist."

In this case, the April 13, 2018 Complaint alleges that the court
has jurisdiction to adjudicate Plaintiffs' claim for unpaid
expenses incurred under either express or implied contracts with
Rural Development. The April 13, 2018 Complaint, however, fails to
allege facts sufficient to show that Plaintiffs were in privity of
contract with Rural Development. The parties to the Oct. 15, 2015
Contracts were Plaintiffs and HSR; Rural Development was not a
party to the Contracts, as further evidenced by the caveat stating
that "[n]either the United States nor any of its departments,
agencies, or employees is or will be a party to this
CONTRACT[.]"Nor do the July 12, 2016 "Concurrences" establish
privity with Rural Development, because they do not displace the
Oct. 15, 2015 Contracts' express language to the contrary that
plainly state Rural Development assumed no liability nor guaranteed
any payment due for work performed under the Oct. 15, 2015
Contracts. In sum, the Oct. 15, 2015 Contracts "simply do not show
privity of contract" between Plaintiffs and Rural Development.

The April 13, 2018 Complaint also fails to allege facts sufficient
to establish an implied-in-fact contract, because it fails to
allege any facts to support a "meeting of minds" between Plaintiffs
and Rural Development. The express language in the October 15, 2015
Contracts and July 12, 2016 "Concurrences" affirmatively states
that Rural Development did not intend to contract with Plaintiffs.
And, the confirmation by the Community Programs Director at Rural
Development that "Rural Development's subject funds [were]
reserved" and that "[c]ontract payments [would be] approved through
certifications and disbursed from the agency's accounting system"
does not allege an intent to contract.

For these reasons, the court has determined that the April 13, 2018
Complaint does not allege sufficient facts to establish subject
matter jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Government's July 12, 2018
Motion to Dismiss is granted.

Order is available at https://bit.ly/2ExjAk4 from Leagle.com.

HOVENSA LLC: Court Junks Lawyer's Bid for Disgorgement of Fees
--------------------------------------------------------------
Attorney Lee J. Rohn filed a motion for Disgorgement of Fees or in
the Alternative for a Fee Audit of the fees paid to counsel for the
Liquidating Trustee. Although Judge Mary Walrath of the District of
Virgin Islands, Bankruptcy Division agrees with Attorney Rohn that
her dispute over the fees paid by the Liquidating Trustee to his
counsel is within the jurisdiction of the Court, Judge Walrath
finds that the fees are reasonable and that disgorgement is not
appropriate.

The Motion seeks review and disgorgement of fees going back as far
as February 2016. Attorney Rohn did not advise the Liquidating
Trustee in writing of any objections to those fees, however, until
July 2017. The July 19, 2017, letter expressed concerns only with
respect to Dentons US LLP May 2017 statement. Her complaints
thereafter were intermittent. Further, the Oversight Committee (of
which she was a member) reviewed all of the fee requests of the
Liquidating Trustee's professionals and approved them unanimously
or by a two to one vote.  The Liquidating Trustee’s professionals
relied on approval and payment of their fees in accordance with
that procedure.

Because Attorney Rohn did not file her Motion with the Court until
Oct. 15, 2018, the Court concludes that she sat on her rights and
disgorgement of the professionals’ fees at this late date (almost
three years after some of them were incurred) is barred by the
doctrine of laches.

After a review of the Audit and the bills attached, the
Court believes that the amount of time spent in communication and
coordination among the lawyers for the Liquidating Trustee was
appropriate. Therefore, the Court concludes that even if the
objection of Attorney Rohn to the fee requests of counsel for the
Liquidating Trustee was not barred by the doctrine of laches, it is
meritless.

The Court also rejects as meritless Attorney Rohn's suggestion that
counsel had a conflict of interest with the Liquidating Trustee
once an objection to their fees was raised. Apparently she contends
that the Liquidating Trustee was required to hire independent
counsel at that time to evaluate the objection. The Court rejects
this assertion as the procedure identified in the Liquidating Trust
Agreement did not mandate that; rather the Agreement provided that
fees were subject to approval of the Liquidating Trustee and the
Oversight Committee themselves.

For these reasons, the Court denies the Motion of Attorney Lee J.
Rohn for Disgorgement of Fees or in the Alternative for a Fee
Audit.

IMMC CORP: Denial of Trustee's Bid to Transfer Suit Affirmed
------------------------------------------------------------
In the appeals case captioned ROBERT F. TROISIO, as Liquidating
Trustee of IMMC Corporation, f/k/a Immunicon Corporation,
Appellant, v. EDWARD L. ERICKSON; BYRON HEWETT; LEON TERSTAPPEN;
JAMES L. WILCOX; ELIZABETH E. TALLETT; J. WILLIAM FREYTAG; ZOLA P.
HOROVITZ; JAMES G. MURPHY; BRIAN GEIGER; JONATHAN COOL; ALLEN J.
LAUER, No. 18-1177 (3rd Cir.), the U.S. Court of Appeals, Third
Circuit affirmed the decision of the District Court upholding the
Bankruptcy Court's denial of the Trustee's motion to transfer an
adversary proceeding to the District Court for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania.

The appeal requires the Third Circuit to decide whether the
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware had the authority to
transfer an adversary proceeding to the District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania under 28 U.S.C. section 1631.
While the issue as presented would have us determine whether the
Bankruptcy Court is a "court" under 28 U.S.C. section 610, the
Third Circuit adopts a different rationale in upholding the orders
of the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court. Because the
Bankruptcy Court lacked power to adjudicate the adversary
proceeding brought by the trustee, its transfer of the adversary
proceeding would have been ultra vires. Thus, the Bankruptcy Court
correctly denied the motion to transfer the adversary proceeding.

The trustee's primary argument on appeal is that because the Third
Circuit reasoned in In re Schaefer Salt Recovery  that bankruptcy
courts are "units" of district courts, they therefore fall under
section 610's definition of "courts." Thus, he argues, the
Bankruptcy Court had authority to transfer the adversary proceeding
under section 1631. While the Bankruptcy Court may be a "unit" of
the district court section 610 lists district courts, not units of
that court, and does not list bankruptcy courts.

The trustee's reliance on Schaefer Salt is misplaced. The
Bankruptcy Court here lacked authority over the claims in the
adversary proceeding. Exercising jurisdiction over the adversary
proceeding so as to transfer it under section 1631 would have been
ultra vires, regardless of whether bankruptcy courts fall under
section 610's definition of courts. Cognizant of bankruptcy courts'
limited authority and our obligation to guard the limits of that
authority, the Third Circuit cannot approve of the bankruptcy
court's exercise of jurisdiction to transfer the adversary
proceeding under these circumstances.

The Third Circuit's holding simply reaffirms the well-established
rule that bankruptcy courts may exercise only the authority
delegated to them by statute and referred to them by the standing
order of the district court. Because the adversary proceeding in
this case fell outside the Bankruptcy Court's jurisdiction, the
Bankruptcy Court properly declined to transfer the proceeding under
28 U.S.C. section 1631. For the foregoing reasons, the Third
Circuit affirms the order of the District Court.

JEP REALTY: The Reisig Group Buying Lexington Property for $88K
---------------------------------------------------------------
JEP Realty, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Kentucky to authorize the sale of the real property and
the fixtures/improvements thereon located at 275 Newtown Pike,
Lexington, Kentucky to The Reisig Group, LLC, pursuant to their
Offer to Purchase Real Estate Contract for $88,250, free and clear
of all liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances.

Attached as Exhibit A to the Debtor's Emergency Motion to Sell
Certain Real Property Free and Clear of All Liens, Claims,
Interests, and Encumbrances on Shortened Notice of Hearing; is the
Offer to Purchase Real Estate Contract by and between the Debtor
and the Proposed Buyer.  Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Debtor
would sell to the Proposed Buyer the Property.  As a summary
thereof, the purchase price for the Property is $92,500 and the
Proposed Sale will be free and clear of all liens, claims,
interests, and encumbrances.

Due to certain repairs needed to be made to the Property, the
Debtor and the Proposed Buyer have agreed to reduce the Purchase
Price from $92,500 to $88,250.  As stated in the Original Motion,
the Proposed Buyer is not an insider of the Debtor or otherwise
related to the Debtor.  The Sale Agreement and the modification to
the sale terms were negotiated in good faith, in an arm's-length
transaction.  Accordingly, the Proposed Buyer should be entitled to
the fullest good faith purchaser protections provided by the
Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtor has received no other offers or interest in the
Property, and believes if the Property were listed it would not
result in a higher sale price.  Moreover, the Property does not
generate income for the estate and the sale of the Property would
alleviate the estate of the costs associated with the Property
which is not necessary for an effective reorganization.

As part of the Proposed Sale, and as would be standard in a sale of
real property, the Debtor asks authority to pay all customary
seller closing obligations as may come due as part of the sale
process.  Finally, as time is of the essence to the Proposed Sale,
it asks that the Court waives the automatic stay of any final order
granting the Motion and order that the final relief requested in
this Motion may be immediately available upon the entry of an order
approving the Proposed Sale.

Upon information and belief, the Property is subject to or may be
subject to the following liens or interests: (i) Community Trust
Bank Inc. (Mortgage lien) - $ 45,418; (ii) Farm Credit Services of
Mid-America FLCA (Judgment lien- Fayette Co.) - $460,000; and (iii)
LFUCG (Abatement liens-Fayette Co.) - $5,600.

The Debtor proposes to pay creditors from the Modified Purchase
Price in order of priority of liens.  If a title search reveals any
prior ad valorem liens, Debtor requests authority to pay those
also.  The 2018 property taxes will be prorated at closing as
customary.  The Debtor asks that the relief granted be without
prejudice to a carve-out of the sale proceeds for fees and expenses
of the Debtor's counsel if negotiated and agreed with applicable
lienholders.

Finally, the Debtor asks shortened notice of hearing for the
Court's chapter 7 and chapter 12 docket hour on Dec. 12, 2018 at
9:30 a.m. as there have been extensive sale negotiations prior to
and after the filing of the bankruptcy and the Proposed Buyer wants
to close as soon as feasible and the Proposed Sale is not opposed
by lienholders on the Property.  The Court's next chapter 11 motion
hour is not until Dec. 19, 2018 and such a delay might cause the
estate to lose the Proposed Sale.  As previously mentioned, the
Property does not generate income and is a burden to the estate, so
the Proposed Sale is in the best interests of the estate.

JP ADVANCED: Jan. 22 Disclosure Statement Hearing
-------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court will consider the approval of the Disclosure
Statement explaining JP Advanced Solutions, LLC's plan of
reorganization at a hearing on January 22, 2019, at 1:30 p.m. The
Disclosure Statement Hearing will be held in Courtroom 601, at the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona, 230 N.
1st Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85003.

Any party desiring to object to the Court’s approval of the
Disclosure Statement must file a written objection with the Court.
The objection must be filed by January 15, 2019.

The Plan proposes that general unsecured claims, classified in
Class 3, will be paid, in full, without interest, over 72 months
from the Effective Date of the Plan.

The Debtor will pay $9,100 in total monthly to Class 3 Claims. The
Debtor will make the payments, pro-rata, to each holder of a Class
2 Claim, on or before the fifteenth day of each month, commencing
on the calendar month following the Effective Date. For clarity,
if
the Effective Date falls in March, the payments will commence in
April. Class 3 Claims are impaired and entitled to vote on the
Plan.

The Debtor began operations in 2016. The Debtor specializes in the
nitche market of remodeling high-end properties. In growing since
2016, the Debtor accrued high-interest debt, with short term
amortization periods. This, coupled with an unusually slow
2017/2018 winter season, significantly constrained the Debtor's
cash flow, which directly led to the filing of this Bankruptcy
Case.

The Plan will be funded from the proceeds of the Debtor's
operations.

LOT MEDIA: Creditors' Payment Dependent Upon AAB Claim Recovery
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lot Media, L.L.C., filed a plan of reorganization and accompanying
disclosure statement.

Class II is John Wilson, a secured creditor.  He has loaned the
company, from time to time, various loans to cover its cash flow
challenges. Certain, but not all of these loans are evidenced by
promissory notes.  His claim in the amount of $4,563,117 shall be
approved upon confirmation of the plan, as a secured claim. He will
receive the following, when and if recovered from All About Beer,
L.L.C.: (a) All of the equity interest in AAB which the Debtor may
recover and (b) 80% of the cash recovered from AAB.

Class IV are General Unsecured Creditors. Any and all sums
recovered by the Debtor after satisfaction of Classes I, II and
III, if any, will be paid to those Class IV Creditors, pro rata.
These payments will be made 30 days following the later of (a)
confirmation of this Plan of Reorganization or (b) recovery of cash
from AAB in amounts more than sufficient to satisfy the obligations
to Classes I, II and III.

Class V. Equity Owners. In the event any member or other party in
interest wishes to inject new capital into the Debtor, the court
will consider all offers for the same following confirmation of the
Plan, and will if necessary hold an auction to determine the
successful bidders for new
equity.

The Debtor anticipates borrowing funds from John C. Wilson to fund
its administrative expenses. The Debtor's only meaningful asset, is
a claim against All About Beer, L.L.C., a North Carolina limited
liability company. AAB acquired all of the Debtor's assets in
September, 2017, and defaulted in its payment obligations to the
Debtor under that agreement. The ability of the Debtor to pay any
amounts to any creditor is, to the best knowledge of the Debtor's
management, solely dependent on a recovery in whole or in part of
its claim against AAB.

MCWOLLE DEVELOPMENT: 195 SJL Bid for Automatic Stay Relief Granted
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Robert E. Grossman granted secured creditor 195
Saint James Lender, LLC's motion for relief from the automatic
stay.

The Debtor opposed the Motion and argues that Saint James is
adequately protected by an equity cushion in the Properties which
the Debtor intends to use to support a larger refinance (with other
properties owned by affiliated entities) and reorganization of the
debt. First, the Debtor argues that Saint James has overstated the
balance of the secured debt by about $700,000, and the actual
mortgage balance should be close to $4,000,000. Second, the Debtor
asserts that the total value of the Properties is $6,200,000
($4,680,000 attributed to the Saint James Property, and $1,520,000
attributed to the Macon Street Property). If the Debtor’s
valuation is correct, there would be approximately $1,200,000 in
equity to support the Debtor's plans to refinance. Thus, the
Debtor’s opposition to the Motion hinges on a finding that there
is an ample equity cushion.

The Court holds that at the time the Secured Creditor filed the
instant Motion, the secured debt had increased to $4,760,135.73 as
a result of the Debtor's failure to make post-petition payments to
the Secured Creditor. Further, the Secured Creditor put in
testimonial evidence that the balance of the debt is now
$4,944,650. Therefore the Secured Creditor's equity position has
completely eroded during the pendency of this case due to the
Debtor’s failure to make adequate protection payments. This
establishes cause to lift the stay under section 362(d)(1).

MEGHA LLC: Lucy G. Sikes Appointed as Ch. 11 Trustee
----------------------------------------------------
Judge John W. Klowe of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western
District of Louisiana approved the appointment of  Lucy G. Sikes as
Chapter 11 Trustee for Megha, LLC.

                           About Megha LLC

Megha, LLC, a Single Asset Real Estate as defined in 11 U.S.C. Sec.
101(51B), has full ownership of lots 4 and 5 of Spanish Town Center
known as the Hampton Inn and Suites New Iberia with an appraisal
value of $6.6 million.

Megha, LLC, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. W.D. La. Case No.
18-51147) on Sept. 11, 2018.  In the petition signed by Jay
Sachania, manager, the Debtor disclosed $8,137,429 in assets and
$6,529,035 in liabilities.  The case is assigned to Judge John W.
Kolwe.  Bradley L. Drell, Esq., at Gold, Weems, Bruser, Sues &
Rundell, serves as counsel to the Debtor.


MICHAEL MCLEAN: Lemji Buying DC Property for $629K
--------------------------------------------------
Michael McLean asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Maryland to authorize the sale of the real property and
improvements located at 825 Fern Place, N.W., Washington, D.C. to
Rosa Lemji for $629,000.

On the Petition Date, the Debtor and his non-filing brother, Murray
McLean, owned the Property as tenants in common.  Each brother owns
a 50% interest in the Property.  The Property is improved by a
single family home which was previously rented to a tenant who
operated a business from the building.  Prior to the Petition Date,
the Debtor and his brother entered into a contract to sell the
Property to a disinterested third party.

Pursuant to the contract, the purchase price of the contract is
$629,000.  The Property is to be sold to the Buyer.  The Debtor is
not affiliated with the purchaser. The contract was negotiated at
arms'-length and represents the fair market value for the Property.
The contract provides for a $9,000 credit to the Buyer at
settlement.  Therefore, the net sale price is $620,000.

Additionally, the contract contained several contingencies, which
have been satisfied.  Specifically, the Buyer was entitled to
conduct a inspection, which has been conducted.  Additionally, the
contract contained a financing contingency.  The Buyer has provided
evidenced that she has obtained a loan and at this time is ready,
able, and willing to go to settlement.  The parties also agreed to
evenly split the transfer and recordation taxes.

The parties were supposed to go to settlement prior to the Petition
Date, however, there were issues with obtaining final approval from
the District of Columbia to ensure that the purchaser could
continue to operate a business from the Property.  The final fire
inspection was not completed until Nov. 28, 2018.  The Buyer has
agreed to extend the settlement date through Dec. 30, 2018.
However, the Buyer will likely not extend past that date and
therefore, the Debtor has contemporaneously sought to shorten time
and move the hearing date to the week of Dec. 17, 2018.

The Property secures the first priority deed of trust for the
benefit of Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC in the approximate amount of
$335,000.  The Debtor proposes to pay this in full at settlement.
Therefore, based upon the sale price and costs of sale and closing
credit which are estimated to be $62,465, encompassing the real
estate commission and one-half of the transfer taxes, the estimated
proceeds of sale are $231,535.

The Debtor's brother is entitled to one-half of the proceeds as a
co-owner of the Property.  The Debtor requests that his brother's
share of the proceeds be paid to his brother at settlement.
Therefore, the remaining proceeds of approximately $115,767 would
be property of the Debtor's estate.

However, the Internal Revenue Service filed a lien in the land
records for the District of Columbia.  The lien is in the
approximate amount of $182,000 and is attached only on the Debtor's
interest in the Property.  The IRS' lien exceeds the Debtor's
equity in the Property and the IRS will need to consent to the
release of the lien to facilitate the sale of the Property.

The Debtor proposes to carve out $35,000 of his portion of the
proceeds.  Specifically, the Debtor asks that $15,000 be paid to
his counsel to be held in escrow to pay for legal fees in the case.
Additionally, he would receive $20,000 to pay for living expenses
while the Chapter 11 case proceeds.  The Debtor understands that
the IRS must agree to release its lien for the sale to be
consummated.

The Property has a tax assessed value of $510,610.  Further, the
Debtor as owner avers that the Property is worth $620,000.
Therefore, the sale price represents the value of the Property and
is reasonable.

The Property can be sold free and clear of liens if the secured
creditor receives payment in full on account of its lien.  In the
case, Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC will be paid in full from the
proceeds of sale.  Additionally, the Debtor avers that the IRS will
consent to release of its lien as most of the remaining proceeds
will be paid over to it.

The Debtor proposes to make the following disbursements at
settlement: 1) payment of all cost associated with settlement,
including real estate commissions; 2) payment of approximately
$335,000 to Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC in complete satisfaction of
its lien on the Property; 3) payment of $115,767 to Murray McLean
on account of his interest in the Property; 4) payment of $15,000
to the Law Offices of Richard Rosenblatt to be held in escrow
pending court approval of legal fees; 5) payment of $20,000 to the
Debtor; and 6) payment of the remaining proceeds to the Internal
Revenue Service in consideration of its secured claim.

MILLENIUM PARK: Moody's Lowers CFR to Caa2, Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Millennium Park HoldCo, Inc.'s
Corporate Family Rating to Caa2 from B3. Concurrently, Moody's
downgraded Numerator's Probability of Default Rating to Caa2-PD
from B3-PD, and the senior secured first lien revolver and term
loan ratings to Caa1 from B2. The ratings outlook is stable.

The downgrade to Caa2 results from Numerator's very high leverage,
with debt to EBITDA exceeding 10x on a Moody's adjusted basis. The
company also continues to generate negative free cash flow which
may persist for several more quarters, straining near term
liquidity. Supporting the rating is improving revenue retention
rates within the legacy promotion, brand and e-commerce data and
analysis business as well as robust organic revenue and bookings
growth within the acquired omnichannel panel data business.

Downgrades:

Issuer: Millennium Park HoldCo, Inc.

Probability of Default Rating, Downgraded to Caa2-PD from B3-PD

Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded to Caa2 from B3

Senior Secured First Lien Term Loan, Downgraded to Caa1 (LGD3) from
B2 (LGD3)

Senior Secured First Lien Revolving Credit Facility, Downgraded to
Caa1 (LGD3) from B2 (LGD3)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Millennium Park HoldCo, Inc.

Outlook, Remains Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

The Caa2 CFR reflects Moody's expectations for very high debt to
EBITDA of over 10x and continued negative free cash flow generation
as of the LTM period ended September 30, 2018, which is likely to
persist for several more quarters. The company's cash flow
generation has been hampered by recent one-time investments and
restructuring expenses that will roll off over the next 12-18
months, however liquidity will likely become more constrained over
the next two to three quarters. Leverage is expected to improve to
below 10x over the next 12-18 months but remain elevated.

Nuemrator has small revenue scale and a narrow operating scope
providing data and analytics related to product pricing and
promotions to retailers, producers of consumer packaged goods and
advertising companies. Numerator's high quality roster of customers
includes the largest companies involved in the marketing and
selling of consumer packaged goods in the U.S, most of whom have
renewed their subscriptions for many years. The customer base and
high rates of subscription renewal are key factors supporting the
rating. Numerator's database of promotional activity and installed
base of users is costly and time consuming to produce, which
creates some barriers to entry. Because data collection related to
digital pricing and promotions tends to be more automated than
channels such as printed circulars, Numerator will need to sustain
meaningful investment to build and maintain a competitive position
as marketing spending continues to transition to digital formats.
The company has a limited track record operating with its current
mix of services as it has completed 10 acquisitions since 2012 and
historical free cash flow is modest.

Other credit metrics including EBITA to interest of about 1x and
projected negative free cash flow, albeit on a temporary basis,
constrain the ratings. Moody's anticipates revenue growth will come
from a combination of expanding services provided to existing
customers, adding new customers and price increases.

All financial metrics reflect Moody's standard adjustments. Moody's
further adjusts EBITA and EBITDA to expense capitalized software
costs.

Moody's considers Numerator's liquidity profile weak. Liquidity is
supported by modest cash balances and $22.5 million of availability
on the revolver as of September 30, 2018. Revolver availability
however, is limited to 35% of the $30 million total when first lien
net leverage is above 7.5x (LTM credit agreement first lien net
leverage was 7.29x at September 30, 2018) and Moody's expects that
cash balances and covenant headroom could become even tighter over
the next 12 months.

The Caa1 ratings assigned to the senior secured first lien
obligations reflect their senior priority ahead of the unrated $95
million second lien term loan and other unsecured trade and lease
obligations of the company in the hierarchy of claims at default.

The stable ratings outlook reflects Moody's expectations for 4% to
8% revenue growth, the roll off of one-time charges over the next
12 months and high rates of customer retention.

The ratings could be upgraded if: 1) revenue continues to grow
organically; 2) Moody's expects debt to EBITDA will be sustained
below 10x; 3) Moody's anticipates positive free cash flow and
improved cash balances; and 4) Numerator demonstrates a commitment
to balanced financial policies.

The ratings could be downgraded if: 1) customer retention declines;
2) revenue declines; 3) Moody's expects debt to EBITDA cannot be
reduced to below 10x over the next 12-18 months; 4) Moody's
anticipates free cash flow to decline; or 5) liquidity deteriorates
further.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and
Consumer Service Industry published in October 2016.

Millennium Park HoldCo, Inc., based in Chicago, IL and controlled
by affiliates of private equity sponsor Vista Equity Partners,
provides subscription-based promotion, brand and e-commerce data
and analysis services to retailers and consumer packaged goods and
other companies. Moody's expects revenues in 2018 of about $125
million.


NATALIA PIROGOVA: Court Denies Recognition of Russian Proceeding
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Shelley C. Chapman entered an order denying
recognition of Natalia Pirogova's pending Russian insolvency
proceeding as a foreign proceeding under chapter 15 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

This contested chapter 15 proceeding presents an issue that the
Bankruptcy Code does not explicitly address and as to which there
is scant case law: how to determine the "center of main interests"
("COMI") of an individual debtor. Here, the debtor Natalia
Pirogova, who was born in Belarus, is a Russian citizen and is the
holder of a "Green Card" which affords her permanent resident
status in the United States.

Her story includes, among other things, an outstanding Russian
warrant for her arrest; alleged clandestine trips to Russia by way
of the Belarus/Russia border; and an alleged trail of fraud, failed
investments, and outstanding debt in both Russia and the United
States. What brings her here to this Court is the petition of Yuri
Vladimirovich Rozhkov, the trustee and foreign representative
appointed by the Moscow Arbitrazh Court in Ms. Pirogova's pending
insolvency proceeding under the Russian Federation Federal Law No
127-FZ "On Insolvency (Bankruptcy)," which proceeding was commenced
against her by one of her principal creditors, the Public
Joint-Stock Company VTB 24, also known as "VTB Bank."

In this case, the Foreign Representative asked this Court to find
that, notwithstanding Ms. Pirogova's presence in the United States,
which the Foreign Representative maintains is itself in furtherance
of a fraud, Ms. Pirogova has continued her fraudulent activities in
Russia and that Russia is her COMI.

Here, the Court finds that the Foreign Representative's scant
evidence and conclusory allegations are insufficient to prove that
Ms. Pirogova carried out any nontransitory economic activity in
Russia at the time of the Petition Date such that Russia could be
considered her "establishment."

The Foreign Representative's argument that Ms. Pirogova's ownership
of the Moscow Apartment "continues to generate economic activity in
Moscow" because a reading of the Utility Bills demonstrates utility
services continue to be used each month and the utility companies
continue to extend credit to Ms. Pirogova for the value of such
services is a stretch, to say the least. The mere presence of the
Utility Bills  does not, without more, support the conclusion that
Ms. Pirogova occupied the Moscow Apartment, let alone that she
generated economic activity in Russia, as of the Petition Date. The
Court is similarly not persuaded that Ms. Pirogova generates
economic activity through her membership in the Yacht Club because,
as the Foreign Representative claims, the Yacht Club "generates
economic activity through membership dues and the maintenance of
the club." There is no support in the record whatsoever for this
conclusion. First, as noted by counsel to Ms. Pirogova, nothing on
the face of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, which was
submitted into evidence, indicates that Ms. Pirogova's membership
in the Yacht Club was current and active on the Petition Date, and
nothing further was submitted by the Foreign Representative in that
regard. Moreover, even assuming that Ms. Pirogova was a member of
the Yacht Club on the Petition Date, there is no evidence
supporting the Foreign Representative's conclusory assumptions (i)
that Ms. Pirogova paid membership dues or contributed to the
maintenance of the Yacht Club at that time or (ii) that the Yacht
Club generates economic activity. Indeed, the Foreign
Representative conceded that he never visited the Yacht Club and
has very limited knowledge about it. The Court also finds that Ms.
Pirogova's alleged failure to de-register two "seized" cars (or
that she continues to hold insurance for one of such cars) to be
far too tenuous a link to any nontransitory economic activity.

In addition, the Court is not persuaded by the Foreign
Representative's contention that Ms. Pirogova's entitlement to
participate in the insolvency proceeding of Taurus LLC or that her
governance rights and interests in the company constitute
nontransitory economic activity in Moscow. As the term implies,
"economic activity" requires a showing of a local effect on the
marketplace. As the Foreign Representative himself acknowledges,
some level of "minimal management" by the debtor must be present.
Ms. Pirogova's entitlement to participate in the insolvency
proceeding of Taurus LLC, without more -- such as proof of her
active participation in such bankruptcy proceedings -- does not
rise to the level of "minimal management" of her interest in Taurus
LLC.

Finally, the existence of the Russian Insolvency Proceeding alone
fails to meet the statutory requirement of an establishment.

The Court concludes that the Foreign Representative has failed to
meet his burden to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence
that Ms. Pirogova had, on the Petition Date, an “establishment”
in Russia such that the Russian Insolvency Proceeding should be
recognized as a foreign nonmain proceeding.

OCEAN RIG: Moody's Withdraws Caa1 CFR Amid Transocean Acquisition
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has withdrawn all assigned ratings for
Ocean Rig UDW Inc. including the Caa1 Corporate Family Rating,
following Transocean Inc.'s (Transocean, B3 negative) announcement
of completing the acquisition of Ocean Rig and, repayment and
termination of Ocean Rig's term loan outstanding balance effective
December 3, 2018.

Ratings withdrawn:

Issuer: Ocean Rig UDW Inc.

Corporate Family Rating Caa1, Withdrawn

Ocean Rig UDW Inc.

Backed Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility Caa1 (LGD4), Withdrawn

RATINGS RATIONALE

On December 5, 2018, Transocean announced the completion of its
acquisition of Ocean Rig. Prior to the closing of the acquisition,
Ocean Rig paid off and terminated its term loan. Moody's has
decided to withdraw all Ocean Rig's ratings as there is no
outstanding debt at Ocean Rig.

Ocean Rig is an international offshore drilling contractor
providing oilfield services for offshore oil and gas exploration,
development and production drilling, and specializing in the
ultra-deepwater and harsh-environment segment of the offshore
drilling industry.


ORCAL GEOTHERMAL: Fitch Afirms BB on $165MM Sr. Notes Due 2020
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed OrCal Geothermal LLC's $165 million
senior notes ($24 million outstanding) due in 2020 at 'BB'. The
Rating Outlook is Stable.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The 'BB' rating reflects Fitch's expectation of stable operations
of OrCal's geothermal projects under long-term revenue contracts
with some exposure to index-based price risk. The rating considers
that resource production risk is mitigated by continuing
sponsor-funded discretionary capital expenditures and the
relatively short remaining debt tenor, moderating rating case
metrics suggesting potentially below breakeven coverage.

Production Below Original Estimates - Revenue Risk-Volume: Weaker
The absence of substitute fuel supply leaves OrCal exposed to the
risk of declining geothermal resource production. Production is
dependent on an active, sponsor-supported capital plan that is
funded at the sponsor's discretion. Although the sponsor
demonstrates a strong track record of funding capital expenditures,
annual production has generally trended down over the last six
years.

Diminished Price Risk - Revenue Risk-Price: Midrange
At the beginning of 2016, 50% of OrCal's total capacity
transitioned to a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Southern
California Public Power Authority (SCPPA). As a result, the
proportion of capacity tied to volatile energy pricing under the
Short Run Avoided Cost (SRAC) methodology has been reduced to
one-third. OrCal's entire capacity is contracted with PPA
expirations ranging from three to 11 years beyond debt maturity.

Stable Operating Cost Profile - Operation Risk: Midrange
OrCal has maintained a stable cost profile over the past few years,
excluding sponsor-funded capital expenditures. The operator is a
subsidiary of the project sponsor and has significant experience
operating geothermal assets.

Fully Amortizing Debt Structure - Debt Structure: Midrange
OrCal's fully amortizing debt faces no refinancing risk and
contains features typical of project finance structures, such as a
six-month debt service reserve.

Financial Profile

Underperformance of the geothermal resource, a shortfall in
sponsor-funded capex, or continued weakness in SRAC pricing could
impair OrCal's ability to service debt payments over the remaining
two-year debt term. Under Fitch's rating case, which excludes the
potential benefit of recent capacity additions and assumes 2.5%
annual declines in resource production and SRAC energy pricing
averaging approximately $28/MWh, debt service coverage ratios
(DSCRs) modestly below 1.0x suggest full debt repayment would be
dependent on the use of reserves. However, if new capacity
additions increase generation in line with sponsor expectations,
Fitch projects rating case DSCRs could exceed 1.3x.

PEER GROUP

Fitch has rated other geothermal and renewable assets at a
sub-investment grade level that suffered substantially greater
resource depletion or volatility than Orcal's plants or earned a
proportionally larger share of revenue from variable SRAC price.
Fitch rates Star Energy Geothermal Ltd. lower (BB-/Stable) due to a
weaker operation risk attribute as it is exposed to the risks of
cost overruns and operational underperformance and does not enjoy
sponsor-funded discretionary capital expenditures.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Future Developments That May, Individually or Collectively, Lead to
Negative Rating Action:

  -- Production declines or low SRAC pricing resulting in a
Fitch-calculated DSCR below rating case levels;

  -- A significant increase in operating costs or cessation of
sponsor support for operating expenses or capital expenditures.

Future Developments That May, Individually or Collectively, Lead to
Positive Rating Action:

  -- Due to the reliance on continuing capex being paid by the
sponsor an upgrade is unlikely.

CREDIT UPDATE

Performance Update
In 2018, performance of OrCal's geothermal assets continued to
decline. While full year 2018 production figures are not yet
available, management has reported January through October
generation at 440,690 MWh. Combining that with budgeted 107,336 MWh
for November and December would give the project a total annual
generation of 548,056 MWh, which represents 81% of the annual
budget. Overall system availability declined, coming in at
approximately 87% through 3Q18. Management attributed the decline
and below-budget performance in part to difficulties getting the
new (Ormat Energy Converter 'OEC'14) generation unit online.

At the time of Fitch's review, the most recent financial statements
available covered the period through 3Q18 and management reporting
through October. January through October revenue is $33.9 million,
with an additional $8.1 million budgeted for November and December,
putting total revenue for the year at approximately $42 million.
This represents 82% of the annual budget, based on the financials
and management's full-year production estimates. Based on the
expected revenues and expenses, management projects a DSCR of
approximately 1.4x.

A new generation unit came online in 2018. Due to unexpected
complications during the commissioning of the new OEC 14 unit, the
overall output was reduced compared to the budget in the first half
of the year. The new unit is currently up and running well. This
unit was expected to increase overall plant capacity by 9 MW with
relatively minimal additional downtime for final implementation,
though management has indicated that the unit is currently
averaging 13.2 MWs as of November. Ormat has a long track record of
providing equity to fund capital expenditures or relieve the
project of some operational expenses in order to boost operational
cash flow. Fitch's rating incorporates the expectation that parent
Ormat will continue this practice, though these actions are
voluntary and discretionary given that the project is financed as a
bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle.

Fitch Cases

Under the base case, the 2019 generation level reflects current
sponsor expectations for production inclusive of a portion of the
benefit of the additional generation unit expected to come on line,
followed by resource production declines at 1.8% per year. Expenses
are based off of the sponsor budget and grow by an assumed
inflationary rate of 2% per year. Energy pricing indexed to natural
gas is based on Fitch's long-term assumption for gas prices,
averaging $34.42/MWh through 2020. The resulting financial profile
demonstrates flat coverage over the remaining debt term with an
average DSCR of 1.4x and a minimum of 1.4x in the final year of
repayment (2020).

Under the rating case, Fitch does not assume any increase in
capacity and includes a steeper production decline of 2.5% per
year. Expenses are based on the 2019 sponsor budget and grow by
2.5% per year, an increase over the inflationary assumption in the
base case. Energy prices are based on Fitch's low natural gas price
deck, yielding an average price of $27.74/MWh through 2020. The
resulting profile suggests a declining DSCR profile, due to the
compounding effect of increasing costs and declining production.
The DSCR averages 0.9x through 2020 with full debt repayment
dependent on use of the debt service reserve. This profile suggests
some dependence on forthcoming capital improvements to bolster
coverage in downside scenarios. Assuming the same current rating
case conditions while also including some incremental benefit from
the additional generation unit yields a more solid coverage
profile, with a minimum of 1.3x in 2020.

Asset Description

OrCal owns five, base-load, geothermal plants north of Calexico in
Imperial County, California. OrCal controls certain rights to the
geothermal supply through leases with the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management or through private leases.


PARKER DRILLING: Trading Moves to OTC Pink Mvarketplace
-------------------------------------------------------
Parker Drilling Company (NYSE: PKD) on Dec. 12, 2018, announced the
expected move of trading of the Company's Common Stock to the OTC
Pink Marketplace from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").  The
Common Stock was expected to begin trading on the OTC Pink
Marketplace operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. ("OTC Pink") under
ticker symbol "PKDSQ" upon the opening of trading on Dec. 13, 2018.
This move should not disrupt the trading of the Common Stock.

As noted in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), Parker Drilling's average market capitalization,
or total trading value, has fallen below the $15 million threshold
over a 30 trading-day period that is required to remain in
compliance with the NYSE's listing standards.  Parker Drilling
remains and intends to remain a publicly-traded company and expects
to trade under the PKDSQ ticker symbol.

As previously announced, Parker Drilling and certain of its
subsidiaries filed for Chapter 11 protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of Texas on December 12, 2018 in
order to implement the terms of a Restructuring Support Agreement
("RSA").  The RSA and proposed Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization
contemplate the cancellation of the existing Common Stock and the
issuance of a new security when the Company emerges from Chapter 11
protection.  While the existing stock is expected to continue to
trade on the OTC Pink during the Chapter 11 cases, Parker Drilling
intends to apply to list its new shares on the NYSE upon
emergence.

While the Common Stock trades on the OTC Pink, Parker Drilling
intends to comply with the SEC Reporting Standard.  The Company
will continue to make all required SEC filings and will remain
subject to SEC rules and regulations applicable to reporting
companies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Company plans to maintain a majority independent Board of
Directors with an independent Audit Committee and to provide annual
financial statements audited by a Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (PCAOB) independent registered public accounting
firm and unaudited interim financial reports prepared in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

RMH FRANCHISE: Reaches Settlement with Dine Brands
--------------------------------------------------
Applebee's Grill and Bar on Dec. 13,, 2018, announced the closing
of the transaction purchasing 69 restaurants in North and South
Carolina.  The restaurants will be operated under industry veteran
and Applebee's chief operating officer, Kevin Carroll.

"Through the third quarter of 2018, Applebee's business performance
has been the best it's been in more than a decade as we continue to
lead the casual dining category," says John Cywinski, Applebee's
brand president.  "I'm pleased with this transaction and confident
in our plans to evolve and selectively refine our restaurant
portfolio.  We are consistently reviewing our portfolio and making
strategic decisions to better position our brand for the future."

Applebee's same-restaurant sales increased 7.7 percent in the third
quarter, a majority of which was driven by traffic, resulting in a
third quarter year-to-date comp sales increase of 5.5 percent.

The transaction closed on December 12, 2018.  The Corporation
intends to own and operate these restaurants for the foreseeable
future; however, we will assess and monitor opportunities to
refranchise these restaurants under favorable circumstances.

Applebee's also disclosed that Dine Brands Global, Inc. has reached
a settlement with RMH Franchise Holdings Inc. and its affiliates
("RMH"), an Applebee's franchisee.  As previously disclosed in the
Corporation's periodic filings, RMH filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
in May 2018.  The terms of the settlement, among other things,
require RMH to pay Applebee's all past due royalty and advertising
fees.  The Corporation will also receive in part, reimbursement of
termination fees related to restaurant closures.  Additionally, as
a result of the settlement, all outstanding litigation between the
parties will be dismissed.

"We're pleased to have come to a resolution with RMH and its
owners," Mr. Cywinski said.  "We remain confident and look forward
to 2019."

ROBERT M. KOWALSKI: Court Converts Chapter 11 Case to Chapter 7
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Jacqueline P. Cox granted Chapter 11Trustee Gus
Paloian's motion to convert Robert M. Kowalski's chapter 11 case to
chapter 7.

The Trustee argued that the case should be converted to chapter 7
for cause under section 1112(b) because of (a) the Debtor's bad
faith and misconduct; (b) there is no reasonable likelihood of
rehabilitation and (c) the ongoing diminution of the estate.

The initial burden to demonstrate "cause" under section 1112(b)
lies with the movant, and that burden must be shown by a
preponderance of the evidence. However, "[o]nce the movant shows
'cause,' the burden shifts to the debtor to establish one of two
exceptions in section 1112(b)." Section 1112(b)(2) provides that
the court may not convert or dismiss a Chapter 11 case if it is not
in the best interest of the creditors.

A determination of bad faith in filing a bankruptcy case is made by
considering the totality of the circumstances by examining both
objective and subjective factors.  The Debtor demonstrated bad
faith by failing to disclose the state court complaint he filed
pre-petition against his daughter to recover nine unscheduled
properties that he may have transferred to her pre-petition. The
Debtor's explanation for the omission was that he did not believe
he had to disclose the lawsuit because its existence was known in
his divorce proceedings. Since the Trustee was appointed the Debtor
has refused to turnover any rents to him. It was not until Nov. 20,
2018 that the Debtor filed a certificate of completeness verifying
that he has given the Trustee a list of all the real property in
which he has an interest. The Debtor's bad faith is unexcused
because he is an attorney who understands, yet frustrates the
bankruptcy system's need for candor. Based on the totality of the
circumstances, the Trustee has established by a preponderance of
the evidence grounds to convert this case for bad faith.

The Trustee has also met his burden of proof by a preponderance of
the evidence that there is substantial or continuing loss or
diminution and an absence of a reasonable likelihood of
rehabilitation. The Debtor has failed to demonstrate that
conversion is not in the best interests of creditors. Because the
court finds that conversion is in the best interests of creditors,
including his spouse and children, the Trustee's motion to convert
is granted.

The bankruptcy case is in re: Robert Kowalski, Chapter 11, Debtor,
Bankruptcy No. 18-09130 (Bankr. N.D. Ill.).

ROSEGARDEN HEALTH: PCO Files 4th Report
---------------------------------------
Joseph J. Tomaino, the duly appointed Patient Care Ombudsman
appointed by the United States Trustee for The Rosegarden Health
and Rehabilitation Center LLC, filed a fourth report pursuant to 11
U.S.C. Section 333 (b)(2).

This case involves three independently licensed facilities in
Bridgeport Manor in Bridgeport, Rosegarden Health and Rehab Center
in Waterbury CT, and Bridgeport Health Care Center, CT.

Rosegarden Health and Rehab Center discharged its last resident on
September 13, 2018, and Bridgeport Manor ceased operations on
October 18, 2018. The PCO participated in a status conference on
the closing of the Rosegarden and Manor facilities on October 31,
2018, while a site visit was conducted at the remaining facility in
operation, Bridgeport Health Care Center, on November 20, 2018.

There were no substandard quality of care issues identified in the
survey at Bridgeport Health Care Center. At the time of the visit,
the director of maintenance position remains vacant. The third
floor unit has not been opened as medical records and other items
records are currently being stored there. The plan is to open the
unit for resident occupancy to convert the facility to all two bed
rooms with a total building capacity of 240 residents. This will
eliminate the three bed rooms that are in use.

Further, the director of nursing at at Bridgeport Health Care
Center reports that the nursing staff is stable and there is a
recent supervisor hire with an interview for another. No medication
supply issues were reported. Other medical supplies are stable
without any shortages or delivery delays. Rehab services are
provided five days a week, which meets the current needs of the
facility. A robust schedule of resident activities was in process.

S&F MEAT: DOJ Watchdog Seeks Ch. 11 Trustee Appointment, Conversion
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew R. Vara, the Acting United States Trustee for Region 3,
requests the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania to direct the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee for
S&F Meat Corp., or alternatively, dismiss or convert the case to a
Chapter 7.

The Acting U.S. Trustee believes that there are reasonable grounds
to suspect that current members of the governing body of the Debtor
participated in actual fraud, dishonesty or criminal conduct in the
management of the Debtor.

As noted by the Acting U.S. Trustee, the Debtor’s officers and
shareholder have made material misrepresentations in sworn
testimony, provided false information in pleadings signed under
penalty of perjury, and filed the same with the court. Given the
lack of confidence in Debtor's management going forward, the Acting
U.S. Trustee explained that the Debtor is unable to propose and
obtain confirmation of a plan of reorganization.

S&F Meat Corp. sought protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code (Bankr. E.D. Pa. Case No. 17-14687) on July 10, 2017. In the
petition signed by Yleana Rodriguez, the Company's president, the
Debtor estimated assets and liabilities of $1 million to $10
million.

Bochetto & Lentz, P.C. as special counsel.  Wm. F. Comly & Sons,
Inc. as appraiser.

Sears and Kmart merged to form Sears Holdings in 2005 when they had
3,500 US stores between them.  Kmart emerged in 2005 from its own

SEARS HOLDINGS: Needs to Notify Consumers about PII Sale, CPO Says
------------------------------------------------------------------
Elise S. Frejka, the Consumer Privacy Ombudsman, filed with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York a
report for Sears Holdings Corporation, et al.

The CPO assists the Bankruptcy Court in its consideration of the
facts, circumstances and conditions of the proposed sale of the
consumers' personally identifiable information (PII) of the home
improvement business, which is the SHIP Business of the Debtor and
its debtor affiliates. The proposed buyer is Service.com, Inc.

In the aggregate, since 2008, the Debtors have collected PII from
approximately 650,000 consumers consisting generally of customer
names, physical addresses, email addresses, the specifics of the
home improvement project, warranty information,5 project notes,
and, if the project is financed, income and credit information.

The CPO believes that the recommendations of the Report strike an
appropriate balance between the privacy rights of consumers and
practical considerations associated with the sale of the Customer
Data of the SHIP Business.

The Ombudsman is of the opinion that notice to consumers remains
prudent even if the Privacy Policy permits the transfer given the
de minimus cost associated with notice.

Hence, the Ombudsman recommends that notice to consumers be
provided and that consumers have the opportunity to opt-out of the
transfer to the extent that they do not want their PII shared.

SOLERA LLC: Moody's Alters Outlook on B2 CFR to Stable
------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed the outlook for Solera, LLC to
stable, from negative, to reflect improving margins and leverage.
Solera continues to successfully integrate acquisitions as
reflected by margin trends and EBITDA growth. However, Moody's
expects the Company to maintain very high leverage in the future
given its track record of debt-funded M&A. Moody's affirmed
Solera's B2 Corporate Family Rating and B2-PD Probability of
Default Rating, and affirmed the Ba3 (LGD2) and Caa1 (LGD5) ratings
on Solera's first-lien senior secured credit facilities and senior
unsecured notes, respectively.

Affirmations:

Issuer: Solera, LLC

Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed B2-PD

Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed B2

Senior Secured 1st Lien Term Loan B, Affirmed Ba3 (LGD2)

Senior Secured 1st Lien Term Loan B, Affirmed Ba3 (LGD2)

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, Affirmed Ba3 (LGD2)

Senior Unsecured Global Notes, Affirmed Caa1 (LGD5)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Solera, LLC

Outlook, Changed To Stable From Negative

RATINGS RATIONALE

The revision of Solera's outlook to stable from negative reflects
the company's ability to successfully integrate acquisitions,
resulting in improving margins and leverage, in conjunction with
mid-high-single digit top line growth. Margin is expected to trend
toward 40% and leverage should decline below 8.0 times by fiscal
year end 2019. However, Solera's strategy to finance acquisitions
mostly with debt, limits its deleveraging expectations and weighs
negatively on the rating. Since the early 2016 LBO by a Vista-led
investment consortium, when leverage rose to well over 8.0 times
(Moody's-adjusted), Solera has continued to offset EBITDA growth
with debt-financed acquisitions. The 2017 mostly debt-funded
acquisition of Autodata, a U.K.-based provider of automotive
diagnostic and repair information, brought leverage back to early
2016 levels. While Moody's expects incremental debt-financed
acquisitions in the future, Moody's expects management to maintain
its track record of successful integrations and quick return to
high margins.

The affirmation of the B2 CFR reflects Moody's expectation for
continued, steady organic revenue growth at the mid-single-digit
level with roll-out of added services to existing customers and
growing claims volumes in developing markets. The affirmation also
reflects consistent, high EBITDA margins approaching 40% and
interest coverage moving towards 2.0 times.

Solera's scale and competitive strengths support the ratings.
Compared with its domestic, lower-rated competitors in the narrower
auto physical damages claims-servicing segment, Solera has a truly
global reach, more diversified offerings, and stronger adjusted
EBITDA margins. Solera's proprietary databases, solid growth
opportunities in developing markets, and high-recurring-revenue and
high-customer-retention models (both in the upper-90%s) also
support the ratings. Importantly, the company has demonstrated a
distinct ability to successfully integrate acquisitions --
acquisitions that have been consistent with its strategy of
diversifying beyond its core expertise in claims processing while
staying within an overarching data, software, and connectivity
business model.

A demonstrated commitment by Solera to delever steadily, with
debt-to-EBITDA falling below 6.0 times on a sustained basis, good
liquidity, margins remaining close to 40% and healthy organic
revenue growth would be important considerations for an upgrade.
Ratings could be downgraded if the company undertakes any
additional leveraging action and Moody's expects debt-to-EBITDA
will not moderate from current levels and remain above 8.0 times on
a sustained basis. The ratings could also be downgraded if organic
revenue growth decreases below low single digits and
EBITA-to-interest coverage falls below 1.2 times.

Solera is a leading provider of risk and asset management software
and services to the automotive and property marketplace, including
the global property and casualty industry. Customers for automobile
insurance-claims-processing solutions include automobile insurance
companies, collision repair facilities, appraisers, and dealers.
Moody's expects revenues, with the benefit of recent acquisitions,
including Autodata, of approximately $1.5 billion for the 2019
fiscal year (ending in March 2019). As the result of an LBO by a
Vista Equity-led consortium, the company was privatized in early
2016.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and
Consumer Service Industry published in October 2016.


ST. JUDE NURSING: Creditor Requests for Ch. 11 Trustee Appointment
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ability Insurance Company, Creditor of St. Jude Nursing Center,
requests the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of
Michigan to appoint a Chapter 11 trustee for the Debtor.

According to the Creditor, the management of the Debtor has an
irreconcilable conflict of interest and is failing to carry out the
Debtor's fiduciary duties as debtor in
possession. Hence, the Creditor believes that the appointment of a
chapter 11 trustee is in the best interests of the Debtor’s
bankruptcy estate and its creditors. The appointment would also
maximize the value of the estate, and be consistent with the
bankruptcy process.

Moreover, the appointment of a chapter 11 trustee will not impair
the current patients of the Debtor whose care is under the monitor
of the patient care ombudsman. Therefore, the Creditor contends
that cause is present to require the appointment of a neutral and
independent chapter 11 trustee for the Debtor.

SUSAN ANGELL: Court Partly Affirms Ruling in Favor of OneWest
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the case captioned SUSAN ANGELL, Plaintiff and Appellant, v.
ONEWEST BANK, etc., Defendants and Respondents, No. B285563 (Cal.
App), Susan Angell appeals from a judgment on her complaint
asserting tort and contract claims arising from the conduct of
defendant OneWest Bank, the lender on plaintiff's condominium, in
providing false and inflated payoff demands that caused a pending
sale of the unit to fall apart. After the trial court sustained
demurrers to plaintiff's tort claims, she voluntarily dismissed her
contract claims and the appeal followed. Upon careful review, the
California Court of Appeals affirms in part and reverses in part.

Plaintiff argued that issue preclusion does not bar her claims
because there was no evidence she had an opportunity to present her
case in bankruptcy court; second, there was no evidence that the
bankruptcy court had jurisdiction to award damages in connection
with the bankruptcy court motion; and third, the trial court had no
jurisdiction to bifurcate her claims into pre- and post-January
2014 conduct. Defendant contended that as a threshold matter,
plaintiff's voluntary dismissal of her breach of contract claims is
not reviewable on appeal, and in any event, the demurrer to her
second amended complaint was properly sustained.

Under California law, a stranger to a contract may be liable for
interfering with the performance of a contract. The elements of the
cause of action are (1) the existence of a valid contract between
the plaintiff and a third party; (2) defendant's knowledge of that
contract; (3) the defendant's acts designed to induce a breach of
that contract; (4) actual breach or disruption of that contract;
and (5) resulting damage.

Here, defendant disputed that plaintiff had pleaded facts showing
that it actually intended to interfere with the pending sale. The
Court disagrees. Plaintiff has alleged that defendant knew of the
correct loan balance on plaintiff's loan and knew of the pending
sale, yet gave fluctuating and inaccurate payoff amounts contrary
to the terms of the note, acting deliberately despite knowledge of
plaintiff's pending sale. As a result of these false payoff
amounts, the pending sale was cancelled, causing plaintiff
damages.

Furthermore, plaintiff alleged that defendant deliberately provided
false payoff information. Taken as a whole, these allegations are
sufficient.

The elements of a claim for intentional infliction of emotional
distress are (1) extreme and outrageous conduct with the intent to
cause, or with reckless disregard for the probability of causing,
emotional distress; (2) the plaintiff suffered extreme or severe
emotional distress; and (3) the defendant's extreme and outrageous
conduct was the actual and proximate cause of the plaintiff's
extreme or severe emotional distress. Outrageous conduct is conduct
that is so extreme as to exceed all bounds of decency in a
civilized community. Generally, the bare conduct of a bank in
instituting and consummating foreclosure proceedings will not
support a claim of damages, and hence a claim of intentional
infliction of emotional distress.

Defendant's conduct alleged here, although troubling, does not rise
to the level of extreme and outrageous conduct at issue in either
Ragland or Symonds. Plaintiff's general factual allegations of
defendant's conduct state that defendant repeatedly misstated the
amount due on the loan, caused the cancellation of the sale of her
home, and required her to reopen her bankruptcy proceedings in
order to set the record straight on the balance of loan. These
allegations do not amount to the wrongful foreclosure action taken
in Ragland,or the persistent targeting and harassment of the
plaintiff in Symonds.Further, in the seventh cause of action for
intentional infliction of emotional distress (in her superseded
first amended complaint), plaintiff does no more than make
conclusory allegations in reference to her general allegations that
defendant's conduct was "extreme and outrageous" and caused her
"humiliation" and "anguish." These allegations are insufficient to
state a claim for extreme and outrageous conduct beyond the bounds
of decent society.

The order of the superior court is, therefore, affirmed with
respect to plaintiff's claims for accounting and intentional
infliction of emotional distress, and reversed with regard to all
of plaintiff's other claims. Plaintiff is to recover her costs on
appeal.

TY DWAYNE ANGERON: Court Denies Confirmation of Amended Plan
------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Jerry A. Brown denies confirmation of debtor Ty
Dwayne Angeron's amended plan of reorganization.

The debtor is a member of several limited liability companies, and
through this he engages in the management of hotels. The debtor
earns a substantial amount of money, and the reason for the filing
of the petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code stems from
litigation between the debtor and creditor Narinda Gupta.

The U.S. Trustee objects that the plan is not feasible based on the
projected disposable income and the projected plan payments. The
U.S. Trustee also objects that the plan calls for payments to be
made by non-debtor parties, i.e., the debtor's wife, and the
debtor's business partner. Finally, the U.S. Trustee also objects
that the plan does not provide an analysis of the calculation of
the debtor's disposable income.

Gupta joins the U.S. Trustee in objecting that the plan is not
feasible. Gupta also objects that the plan does not call for all
disposable income to be paid to unsecured creditors.

The Court finds that the current plan provides an end date of June
2035, which is problematic, because section 1129(a)(15) the code
requires the debtor to commit funds "during the 5-year period
beginning on the date that the first payment is due under the plan,
or during the period for which the plan provides payments,
whichever is longer." If the end date for the plan is June 2035,
then the plan continues on for approximately 16 years. This would
require the debtor to contribute between $4,453,632 and $5,840,256,
depending on which of the above figures is used. Clearly, the debt
owed to Gupta will be satisfied long before this if the debtor pays
his disposable monthly income into the plan every month. The
requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and the debtor's proposed time
frame for repayment simply do not work.

Although there appears to be no prohibition of plans based on third
parties making plan payments, due to the feasibility objections,
the court cannot confirm this plan without more detailed
information about the third party's ability to make those payments.
Further, the court cannot confirm an individual Chapter 11 plan in
which the debtor retains property unless all objecting creditors
are paid in full, or new value has been contributed by the debtor.
The details of this plan are sufficiently unclear that the court
cannot determine that these requirements have been met.

One other failure of the debtor's plan, as pointed out by Gupta, is
that it does not provide a satisfactory accounting of the
reorganized debtor's future tax liability. The debtor fails to
explain how his anticipated tax liability on his projected $26,000
monthly income is only $3,300 a month or how much his monthly taxes
will be on the projected increases in the future.

(Bankr. E.D. La.).


XEROX CORP: Moody's Lowers Sr. Unsec. Notes to Ba1, Outlook Neg.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Xerox Corporation's senior
unsecured debt ratings to Ba1 from Baa3. The rating outlook is
negative. As part of the rating actions, Moody's assigned Xerox a
Ba1 Corporate Family Rating, Ba1-PD Probability of Default Rating,
and an SGL-1 speculative grade liquidity rating. These rating
actions conclude the review for downgrade initiated on November 1,
2018.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The downgrades reflect uncertainty about the company's ability to
stabilize and grow its revenue base over the next few years given
the secular decline in copier and printing demand as well as
intense global competition. Xerox reported seven consecutive
quarters of year over year revenue declines on a constant currency
basis since the spin-off of the business process outsourcing
segment despite major product launches in 2017.

Moody's has not reviewed Xerox's operating or strategic plans for
2019 which are scheduled to be presented in early February 2019 at
the company's Analyst Day event. However, Moody's expects organic
revenues to continue on a flat to declining trajectory over the
next 12 to 18 months in the absence of an unlikely fundamental
change in the company's revenue mix or market share. Xerox's top
line faces continuing erosion due to a secular decline in copier
and printing demand in developed countries combined with new
equipment and service offerings from competing providers, a few of
whom have deeper financial pockets, more stable revenues, or better
penetration in higher growth Asian or emerging markets.

"Moody's believes that, given persistent secular pressures and the
company's track record of declining organic revenues, potential
strategies targeting improved profitability, streamlined
operations, or rationalized product offerings will come with
execution risks related to achieving planned results, further top
line erosion, or incremental costs over the next 12 to 18 months
before benefits are realized," said Carl Salas, Moody's Sr. Credit
Officer.

Furthermore, Moody's believes there is uncertainty related to
manufacturing arrangements and Asia-targeted marketing strategies
after the current agreement with Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. expires in
2021. Moody's also believes that without the continuation of the
Fuji Xerox agreements on terms that are at least similar to the
current agreement, there could be additional operating and
financial pressures given the need to enter into new arrangements
with alternate partners or the need to fund significant investments
to replace a portion or all related manufacturing and marketing
functions. Xerox currently leverages third parties to do a portion
of its manufacturing and disclosed during its 2Q2018 earnings call
that Fuji Xerox supplies 59% of its cost production, with the
remaining 41% manufactured by Xerox and other suppliers.

Xerox's Ba1 CFR is supported by the company's good market position
in its core mid-range print and document outsourcing markets as
well as solid leverage and free cash flow metrics. Roughly 78% of
Xerox's revenue is derived from post-sale activities that include
document outsourcing, managed print services, maintenance service,
supplies (toner and paper), and finance income. These elements come
with higher operating margins and provide some revenue
predictability. Moody's recognizes the importance of providing
customer financing as part of Xerox's overall selling proposition
as it provides a competitive advantage and greater flexibility in
structuring large technology purchases; however, financing
equipment receivables weigh on the company's risk assessment due to
the ongoing need to manage sizable debt maturities and cost of
funding.

Ratings for the senior unsecured notes and credit facility (Ba1,
LGD4) incorporate the overall probability of default of the
company, as reflected in the PDR of Ba1-PD and Moody's expectation
for an average family recovery in a default scenario. The assigned
SGL-1 rating reflects the company's very good liquidity, supported
by healthy cash and short term investment balances of over $1
billion as of September 30, 2018, free cash flow generation of more
than $800 million (Moody's adjusted), and an undrawn $1.8 billion
revolving credit facility.

The negative outlook reflects the persistent pressures on the
company's core copier and printing business as well as execution
challenges, especially if new management's operating and strategic
plans include sizable restructuring charges, incremental
investments, or relaxation of historical capital allocation policy.
The outlook could be changed to stable if the company demonstrates
progress in stabilizing revenues and if Moody's expects the company
will be able to maintain operating margins and free cash flow
generation while keeping leverage in line with current levels.

Xerox's ratings could be upgraded with business execution that
leads to consistent revenue growth, stable to improving operating
margins, and growing free cash flow. An upgrade would also require
conservative financial discipline and maintaining the asset quality
of its finance operations while reducing the refinancing risk
associated with finance liabilities. These results would be
evidenced by achieving and maintaining adjusted operating margins
in the low double digit percentage range, adjusted total debt to
EBITDA approaching 2.0x, and improving free cash flow generation.

Ratings could be downgraded if the company fails to show progress
in stabilizing revenues, or operating margins or other credit
metrics weaken. Downward rating action could also occur if Xerox
incurs leverage to undertake any combination of share buybacks,
dividends or acquisitions that leads to weakened credit metrics.

Ratings Actions:

Issuer: Xerox Corporation

Corporate Family Rating -- Assigned Ba1

Probability of Default Rating -- Assigned Ba1-PD

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating -- Assigned SGL-1

Senior Unsecured Notes -- Downgraded to Ba1 (LGD 4) from Baa3

Senior Unsecured Bank Credit Facility -- Downgraded to Ba1 (LGD 4)
from Baa3

Senior Unsecured Shelf -- Downgraded to (P)Ba1 from (P)Baa3

Senior Unsecured Commercial Paper -- Downgraded to NP from P-3

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Xerox Corporation

Outlook -- changed to Negative from Under Review

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Diversified
Technology published in August 2018.

Xerox Corporation, with operations in roughly 160 countries, is a
worldwide leader in document processing systems and related
supplies. Moody's expects Xerox to generate over $9 billion in
revenue over the next twelve months.

                            *********

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.

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
