The above-captioned debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors”)1

Relief Requested

Debtors’ chapter 11 cases, are set forth in greater detail in (i) the Declaration of David A. Brandon, Chairman 

of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Toys “R” Us, Inc., in Support of Chapter 11 Petitions and First 

Day Motions (the “Brandon Declaration”) and (ii) the Declaration of Michael J. Short, Chief Financial Officer

4. Finally, the Debtors seek authority to file the monthly operating reports required 

by the Operating Guidelines and Reporting Requirements of the United States Trustee for 

Chapter 11 Debtors in Possession and Chapter 11 Trustees, issued by the Office of the United 

States Trustee for the Eastern District of Virginia (the “U.S. Trustee”), on a consolidated basis, 

but the Debtors shall track and break out disbursements on a debtor-by-debtor basis in each 

monthly operating report.

Jurisdiction and Venue

5. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia 

(the “Court”) has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 and the 

Standing Order of Reference from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of 

Virginia, dated July 10, 1984. The Debtors confirm their consent, pursuant to Rule 7008 of the 

Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”), to the entry of a final order by 

the Court in connection with this motion to the extent that it is later determined that the Court, 

absent consent of the parties, cannot enter final orders or judgments in connection herewith 

consistent with Article III of the United States Constitution.

6. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

7. The bases for the relief requested herein are sections 105(a) of 

the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b), and rules 1015-1 and 9013-1 of the Local Rules 

of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (the “Local 

Bankruptcy Rules”).

Basis for Relief

8. Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b) provides, in pertinent part, 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.” Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1015. The [twenty-five (25)]

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 10 Filed 09/19/17 Entered 09/19/17 03:20:58 Desc Main

 Document Page 8 of 24
9

Debtor entities that commenced chapter 11 cases are “affiliates” as that term is defined in 

section 101(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy 

Rules authorize the Court to grant the relief requested herein.

9. Further, Local Bankruptcy Rule 1015-1 provides additional authority for the 

Court to order joint administration of these chapter 11 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.

Local Bankr. R. 1015-1.

10. Joint administration is generally non-controversial, and courts in this jurisdiction 

routinely order joint administration in cases with multiple related debtors. See, e.g., In re The 

Gymboree Corp., No. 17-32986 (KLP) (Bankr. E.D. Va. June 2, 2017) (directing joint 

administration of chapter 11 cases); In re Penn Va. Corp., No. 16-32395 (KLP) (Bankr. E.D. Va. 

May 13, 2016) (same); In re Eidos, LLC, No. 16-10385 (BFK) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Mar. 2, 2016)

(same); In re Alpha Nat. Res., Inc., No. 15-33896 (KRH) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Aug. 5, 2015) (same); 

In re Patriot Coal Corp., No. 15-32450 (KLP) (Bankr. E.D. Va. May 13, 2015) (same); In re 

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

Bowling Worldwide, Inc., No. 12-36495 (KRH) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Nov. 14, 2012) (same); In re 

Workflow Mgmt., Inc., No. 10-74617 (SCS) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Oct. 1, 2010) (same).

2

11. Given the integrated nature of the Debtors’ operations, joint administration of 

these chapter 11 cases will provide significant administrative convenience without harming the 

substantive rights of any party in interest. Many of the motions, hearings, and orders in these 

 2 Because of the voluminous nature of the orders cited herein, such orders have not been attached to this Motion. 

Copies of these orders are available upon request to the Debtors’ proposed counsel.

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 10 Filed 09/19/17 Entered 09/19/17 03:20:58 Desc Main

 Document Page 9 of 24
10

chapter 11 cases will affect each Debtor entity. The entry of an order directing joint 

administration of these chapter 11 cases will reduce fees and costs by avoiding duplicative filings 

and objections. Joint administration also will allow the U.S. Trustee and all parties in interest to 

monitor these chapter 11 cases with greater ease and efficiency.

12. Moreover, joint administration will not adversely affect the Debtors’ respective 

constituencies because this Motion seeks only administrative, not substantive, consolidation of 

the Debtors’ estates. Parties in interest will not be harmed by the relief requested; instead, 

parties in interest will benefit from the cost reductions associated with the joint administration of 

these chapter 11 cases. Furthermore, as discussed more fully in the Debtors’ Motion for Entry of 

Interim and Final Orders (I) Authorizing the Debtors to (A) Continue to Operate Their Cash 

Management System, (B) Honor Certain Prepetition Obligations Related Thereto, (C) Maintain 

Existing Business Forms, and (D) Perform Intercompany transactions, and (II) Granting Related 

Relief, the Debtors intend to separately fund and allocate their overhead expenses between the 

separate Debtor entities. Accordingly, the Debtors submit that the joint administration of these 

chapter 11 cases is in the best interests of their estates, their creditors, and all other parties in 

interest.

Waiver of Memorandum of Points and Authorities

13. The Debtors respectfully request that this Court treat this Motion as a written 

memorandum of points and authorities or waive any requirement that this Motion be 

accompanied by a written memorandum of points and authorities as described in Local 

Bankruptcy Rule 9013-1(G).

Notice

14. The Debtors will provide notice of this Motion via first class mail and email 

(where available) to: (a) the Office of the United States Trustee for the Eastern District of
