The docket in the chapter 11 case of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., 

Case No. 15-_____ (___), should be consulted for all matters 

affecting this case. 

6. The Debtors further request that, due to the large number of Debtors 

proposed to be jointly administered, the Court waive the requirements set forth at 

section 342(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 1005 and 2002(n) that notices 

required to be sent by the Debtors contain the name, address and last four digits of the taxpayer 

identification number of each Debtor. 

7. The Debtors further request that the Court: (a) authorize the Debtors to 

utilize a combined service list for the jointly administered cases; and (b) authorize combined 

notices be sent to creditors of the Debtors' estates and other parties-in-interest, as applicable.

Consistent with the foregoing, the Debtors also seek authority to file the monthly operating 

reports required by the Operating Guidelines and Reporting Requirements for Debtors in 

Possession and Trustees (the "Guidelines") promulgated by the Office of the United States 

Trustee for the Eastern District of Virginia (the "U.S. Trustee") on a consolidated basis. 

Nevertheless, the Debtors will maintain separate disbursement reports. 

Argument

8. Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b) provides that "[i]f...two or more petitions are 

pending in the same court by or against...a debtor and an affiliate, the court may order a joint 

administration of the estates." The Debtors are "affiliates" as that term is defined under 

section 101(2) of the Bankruptcy Code because ANR wholly owns each of the other Debtors, 

either directly or indirectly. Accordingly, this Court is authorized to grant the relief requested 

herein. 

9. Local Bankruptcy Rule 1015-1 further provides additional authority for 

the Court to order joint administration of these cases: 

In all joint petitions filed with the Court, the case will be administered 

through joint administration of the estates unless the trustee or other 

interested party files an objection to joint administration within 14 days 

after the meeting of creditors and gives notice of a hearing date on such 

objection. 

10. Joint administration is generally noncontroversial, and courts in this 

district routinely order joint administration in cases with multiple related debtors. See, e.g., 

In re Morris | Schneider | Wittstadt Va., PLLC, No. 15-33370 (KLP) (Bankr. E.D. Va.

In re James River Coal Co., No. 14-31848 (KRH) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Apr. 10, 2014); In re Movie 

Gallery, Inc., No. 10-30696 (KLP) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Feb. 3, 2010); In re Canal Corp. 

(f/k/a Chesapeake Corp.), No. 08-36642 (DOT) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Dec. 30, 2008); 

In re LandAmerica Fin. Group, Inc., No. 08-35994 (KRH) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Nov. 28, 2008); 

In re Circuit City Stores, Inc., No. 08-35653 (KRH) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Nov. 10, 2008). 

11. The joint administration of the Debtors' chapter 11 cases will permit the 

Clerk of the Court to utilize a single general docket for these cases and combine notices to 

creditors of the Debtors' respective estates and other parties in interest. Joint administration of 

the Debtors' cases will have a number of benefits, including elimination of the need for 

duplicative notices, motions, applications and orders, thereby saving time and expense that 

otherwise would be required to administer individual cases. In addition, joint administration will 

render the completion of various administrative tasks less costly and minimize the number of 

unnecessary delays associated with the administration of 150 separate chapter 11 cases. 

12. The rights of creditors will not be adversely affected because this Motion 

requests only administrative, and not substantive, consolidation of the Debtors' estates. In fact, 

creditors will benefit from the reduced costs that will result from the joint administration of these 

cases. Finally, joint administration will simplify supervision of the administrative aspects of 

these chapter 11 cases by the U.S. Trustee — a task that would pose unnecessary burdens absent 

joint administration. 

13. Furthermore, waiver of the requirements of section 342(c)(1) of the 

Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 1005 and 2002(n) to include the Debtors' full tax 

identification numbers in the caption of pleadings filed by the Debtors and notices sent to 

creditors is appropriate where this information is available on all of the Debtors' chapter 11 

Case 15-33896 Doc 3 Filed 08/03/15 Entered 08/03/15 08:48:45 Desc Main

petitions. Waiver of this requirement is purely procedural in nature and will ease the 

administrative burdens on the Debtors. 

14. Finally, filing the monthly operating reports required by the Guidelines 

promulgated by the U.S. Trustee on a consolidated basis will promote administrative economy 

and efficiency without prejudice to any party in interest. The Debtors submit that the reports 

would accurately reflect the Debtors' consolidated business operations and financial affairs. 

Joint administration of the Debtors' cases is, thus, appropriate here. 

Waiver of Separate Memorandum of Points and Authorities

15. The Debtors respectfully request that the Court regard any argument and 

citations set forth herein as a written memorandum of facts, reasons and authorities that has been 

combined with the relief requested herein, as permitted by Local Bankruptcy Rule 9013-1(G)(1). 

Alternatively, the Debtors respectfully request that the Court waive any requirement set forth in 

Local Bankruptcy Rule 9013-1(G)(1) that this Motion be accompanied by such a written 

memorandum. 

Notice

16. Notice of this Motion has been given to: (a) the Office of the United 

States Trustee for the Eastern District of Virginia; (b) Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP and 

McGuireWoods LLP, as co-counsel to Citibank, N.A., as administrative and collateral agent 

under the proposed postpetition credit facility, and Citicorp North America, Inc., as

(c) Kirkland & Ellis LLP, as counsel to the Second Lien Noteholder Group; (d) the indenture

against the Debtors' estates on a consolidated basis; (g) the United Mine Workers of America; 

and (h) any party that has requested notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 as of the time of 

service. In light of the nature of the relief requested, the Debtors submit that no further notice is 

necessary. 

No Prior Request

or any other Court in connection with these chapter 11 cases.
