CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

2 CV 11-01729 EMC

This case remains pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of 

California (In re Howrey, LLP, Case No. 11-31376-DM). On October 19, 2015, the Chapter 11 

Trustee and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors filed a Joint Motion to Convert the 

Bankruptcy Case to Chapter 7 pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 1112(B). The Chapter 11 Trustee Allan 

Diamond suspended settlement negotiations with plaintiffs while he moved to be appointed as the 

Chapter 7 Trustee.

The Bankruptcy Court ordered the Chapter 7 conversion to take place on December 1, 2015, 

and granted Mr. Diamond’s motion to be appointed as the Chapter 7 Trustee. Plaintiffs will seek to 

resume negotiation with Mr. Diamond as the Chapter 7 Trustee. A 341 Meeting of Creditors is 

scheduled for January 8, 2016, at 9:00 a.m., at the San Francisco Trustee Office of the U.S. Trustee.

In light of the pending bankruptcy stay, Thomas asks the Court to stay the current Case 

Management Conference scheduled for December 17, 2015, and reschedule it to a date after the 

bankruptcy stay has lifted or an alternative date selected by the Court.
