Chapter 11

DECLARATION OF BRUCE A. MARKELL IN SUPPORT OF ORDER 

APPOINTING BRUCE A. MARKELL AS FEE EXAMINER

I, Bruce A. Markell, declare as follows:

1. I am currently the Professor of Bankruptcy Law and Practice at the 

Pritzker School of Law at Northwestern University in Chicago, a position I have held since May 

of 2015. My prior experience is set forth in my curriculum vitæ, which I attach as appendix 1 to 

this declaration. In brief summary, in addition to being a law professor, I was a United States 

Bankruptcy Judge in the District of Nevada for nine years (and a member of the Ninth Circuit’s 

Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for six of those years), and was in private practice for approximately 

ten years, resigning a partnership in the law firm of Sidley & Austin to become a law professor 

in 1990.

2. I am an active member in good standing of The State Bar of California 

(Bar Number 95471) and a member of the bar of the Northern District of California (although I 

have not appeared in this court for over 30 years). Although this engagement does not involve 

the practice of law, I have previously made the “Election To Practice Law” pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 377(m) on Form 75 of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts.

3. I am not affiliated with or representing any of the above-captioned debtors 

and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors”), or their creditors, or the Official 

Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the “OCUC”), or the Official Committee of Tort Claimants 

(the “Tort Committee”), or any other party in interest, or their attorneys, or their advisors, or any 

person or entity with claims against the Debtors estates.

4. I have not previously represented or advised the Debtors. 

5. I do not own any shares of the Debtors’ stock or otherwise maintain any 

ownership interest in the Debtors. I have examined my spouse’s investments, which are held and 

managed separately from my property, and over which I have no legal rights or control. My 

spouse’s investments are primarily managed by an affiliate of JPMorgan Chase and by the TIAA 

group of companies. None of these managers show that my spouse has any direct investments in 

any of the Debtors, but they do show holdings in various index and bond funds managed by 

affiliates of JPMorgan Chase and the Vanguard group of companies. As the holdings of these 

funds can and do change from time to time, I have not endeavored to determine the holdings of 

these index and bond funds.

6. Except as set forth in ¶¶ 7 and 8 below, and to the best of my knowledge

after inquiry, I have no connection to the Debtors, their creditors, the OCUC, the Tort 

Committee, their respective attorneys and/or advisors, or any person employed in the Office of 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 1370-1 Filed: 04/12/19 Entered: 04/12/19 16:31:48 Page 3

the United States Trustee for the Northern District of California (the “U.S. Trustee”) or any other 

potential party in interest. 

7. In making the averment in ¶6, I have I have reviewed the 215-page PG&E 

Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company Retention Checklist filed on March 18, 2019 

and entered on the docket of this court as Docket Number 935-1 (“Checklist”). After review of 

the Checklist, I would note the following connections as possible exceptions to the averment 

made in ¶6 (with each exception noted by category of connection, as those categories are set 

forth on page 15 of Docket Number 1210, filed April 3, 2019):

a. Debtors, Trade Names and Aliases, Affiliates and Subsidiaries: 

No connections.

b. Bank Accounts: I have personal checking accounts at, and maintain 

credit cards with, Bank of America, N.A. and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. I will use my 

business checking account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. during any service as a fee examiner. 

Citibank, N.A., or an affiliate, has issued a credit card to me.

c. Bankruptcy Judges and Staff for the Northern District of 

California: I disclose my connections to Judge Montali in ¶8.a. below. As to the other 

bankruptcy judges of the Northern District of California, I participate with Judge Efremsky in the 

Advanced Consumer Bankruptcy Practice Institute organized by retired bankruptcy judge Keith 

Lundin. To the extent that my tenure on the bankruptcy bench overlapped some of the current 

judges in the district of Northern California (which list includes Chief Judge Novack, Judge 

Efremsky, Judy Hammond, Judge Johnston and Judge Lafferty), I likely spoke with them while I 

was on the bench with respect to cases or judicial administration (and possibly sat on an appeal 

from one of their cases), but at present I cannot recall any specific conversation or appeal. Of the 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 1370-1 Filed: 04/12/19 Entered: 04/12/19 16:31:48 Page 4

staff listed, I have corresponded and worked with Peggy Brister in my work with Judge Montali. 

I do not recognize any of the other names, although I may have met them during the times the 

Bankruptcy Appellate Panel sat in San Francisco.

d. Current Officers and Directors: No connections.

e. Term and Revolvling Loan Lenders and Administrative Agents: 

No connections other than those previously disclosed in ¶ 7.b. above.

f. Contract Counterparties: No connections other than those 

previously disclosed in ¶ 7.b. above.

g. DIP Lenders: No connections other than those previously 

disclosed in ¶ 7.b. above.

h. Debtors’ Professionals: In 2014, my opinion in In re Spickelmier, 

469 B.R. 903 (Bankr. D. Nev. 2012) won the Weil Gotshal March Madness tournament for 

having best quotation ever in a bankruptcy opinion (I received a miniature basketball from the 

firm for winning). Marcia Goldstein, a partner in Weil, is a member of the National Bankruptcy 

Conference, as am I, and we have interacted at the Conference’s annual meetings

i. Former Officers and Directors: No connections.

j. Affiliations of Former Officers: No connections.

k. Affiliations of Former Directors: No connections.

l. Insurance/Insurance Provider/Surety Bonds: My homeowner’s 

insurance policy is underwritten by a Chubb affiliate.

m. Surety Bonds: No connections.

n. Landlords and Parties to Leases: No connections.

o. Lenders: No connections other than those previously disclosed in ¶ 

7.b. above.

p. Litigation Counterparties/Litigation Pending Lawsuits: In addition 

to the connections disclosed in ¶7.l above, one of my daughters has a renter’s policy of insurance 

issued by American Bankers Insurance Company of Florida, and an automobile policy of 

insurance through an affiliate of Geico General Insurance Company or Geico Indemnity 

Company, and I pay the premiums for both policies.

q. Litigation Parties in Adv. Pro. 19-03003: No connections.

r. Ad Hoc Committee of Unsecured Tort Claimant Creditors: In 

2018, I was retained as a mediator for a chapter 11 case in which DLA Piper LLP (US), out of 

their Atlanta and New York offices, represented the debtor.

s. Non-Debtor Professionals: I have been on educational programs 

with members of FTI (although none within the last three years), and have conducted mediations 

in which FTI was present. The listed lead lawyer for the OCUC, Dennis Dunne, is a member of 

the National Bankruptcy Conference, as am I, and we have interacted at the Conference’s annual 

meetings (the Checklist lists his firm as “Milbak Tweed Hadley & McCloy LLP;” I assume that 

is a typographical error). I was a summer associate in 1979, and was employed from 1981 to 

1983, by Morrison & Foerster, and occasionally receive “alumi” publications from them.

t. Ordinary Course Professionals: Several professionals at Davis 

Polk & Waldwell LLP are members of the National Bankruptcy Conference (including Donald 

Bernstein, past chair of the conference, and Marshall Huebner), as am I, and I have interacted 

with them at annual meetings and in connection with the Conference’s ongoing activities. I have 

been hired as an expert by Greenberg Traurig, and have co-authored an article with Mark Bloom 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 1370-1 Filed: 04/12/19 Entered: 04/12/19 16:31:48 Page 6

of their Miami office. Richard Levin of Jenner & Block LLP is a co-editor-in-chief for Collier 

on Bankruptcy, a publication for which I write and upon whose editorial board I sit; Ronald

Peterson of that same firm was a fellow Commissioner with me on the American Bankruptcy 

Insitute’s Consumer Bankruptcy Commission. I was a partner at Sidley & Austin from 1988-

1990, and an associate there from 1985 to 1988. I am currently a beneficiary of their pension 

plan for staff (not partners).

u. Letters of Credit: No connections.

v. Regulatory and Government: No connections, although obviously 

I am a citizen of the United States, and I am a prospective annuitant of the United States with 

respect to my time of service as a bankruptcy judge.

w. Significant Competitors: No connections.

x. Significant Shareholders: No connections.

y. Significant holder of voting securities: A significant portion of my 

retirement assets in my Northwestern University retirement plan are invested with an affiliate of 

BlackRock Fund Advisors. This investment, however, is not more than an estimated 20% of my 

total retirement assets.

z. Taxing Authorities: No connections.

aa. Top Unsecured Creditors: No connections other than those 

previously disclosed in ¶7.b. above.

bb.Unsecured Notes: No connections other than those previously 

disclosed in ¶7.b. above.

cc. UCC Lien Holders: No connections.

dd.Unions: No connections.

ee. Office of the United States Trustee for Region 17: When I was a 

judge, Nicholas Strozza occasionally appeared before me, although he was assigned generally to 

matters arising in Northern Nevada, not Southern Nevada where I sat.

ff. Utility Providers: Comcast is my cable services provider. An 

affiliate of T-Mobile provides my mobile phone service.

gg. Vendors/Suppliers: No connections.

hh.Interested Parties/Notice of Appearance Parties: No connections 

other than those previously disclosed in ¶7.b. above.

8. I have also examined my other relationships and associations. After that 

review, I would note the following connections as exceptions to the averment made in ¶6: 

a. While a bankruptcy judge, I sat with Judge Montali on the 

Bankruptcy Appellate Panel many times. I have worked in his 

chambers and with his court staff during times when the 

Bankruptcy Appellate Panel sat in San Francisco, as Judge Montali 

would graciously make his courtroom available to hear oral 

arguments, and his chambers available for conferences. Since I 

retired from the bench, I have have corresponded irregularly with 

Judge Montali. Upon the filing of this case, and before I was ever 

contacted by the Office of the United States Trustee, I sent Judge 

Montali an email commenting upon his selection as the case judge; 

he responded. I have had no further communications with Judge 

Montali since then.

b. As indicated on my attached curriculum vitæ, I have a long history 

of membership in honorary organizations such as the American 

Law Institute, the American College of Bankruptcy, the National 

Bankruptcy Conference, and the American Bankruptcy Institute, 

among others. My curriculum vitæ also discloses that I have a 

similar long history of speaking at various conferences and legal 

education seminars. I undoubtedly have been on a panel or have 

worked with many of the professionals who will be associated in 

this case, but my memory is such that I cannot provide a 

comprehensive list of all such connections (and the professionals I 

have worked with may have changed their firm affiliations since I 

worked with them). I can say with assurance, however, that past 

experiences working with any professional on such matters will 

not influence or color my duties as fee examiner.

c. I have served as a Commissioner on the American Bankruptcy 

Institutes Consumer Law Commission. In that capacity, I have 

worked with Director Clifford White, the Executive Director of the

United States Trustee Program, who was an ex officio member of 

the Commission.

d. My current employer, Northwestern University, undoubtedly 

employs many law firms in the course of its operations. I do not 

have access to the list of such firms, and thus it is possible that a 

firm with a position in this case may also represent my employer.

e. I joined Brief For Amici Curiae Bankruptcy Law Scholars In 

Support Of Petitioners in Baker Botts L.L.P. v. ASARCO LLC, 135 

S. Ct. 2158 (2015). I wrote about the case, and the sting of losing, 

in Loser’s Lament: Caulkett and ASARCO, BANKRUPTCY LAW 

LETTER (August 2015).

f. Since retiring from the bench, I have been hired to work on various 

domestic and international matters as an expert or consultant. Two 

of my engagements involved reviewing fees:

i. In June of 2014, Brady Williamson of Godfrey & Kahn 

hired me to review fees in In re Residential Capital, LLC, 

et al., Case No. 12-12020 (MG) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.).

ii. In the fall of 2014, Richardo Kilpatrick of Kilpatrick & 

Associates, P.C. hired me as an expert to review the fees of 

one of the indenture trustees the City of Detroit bankruptcy.

g. My sister resides in a service area for electricity and gas provided 

by the Debtors.

9. In the event that additional information becomes available that reveals any 

other connections with parties in interest, I will amend or supplement this declaration as 

necessary. 

10. I do not believe that serving as fee examiner in the above-captioned 

chapter 11 cases, or any of the other disclosed connections with potential parties in interest,

presents any conflict of interest.

11. From 2014 to the present, my customary hourly rate for consulting on 

domestic and foreign bankruptcy matters has been $900 per hour. As of January 1, 2019, I had 

planned to increase that rate to $1,000 per hour, but I have not taken on any new consulting 

matters since then, and so have not charged that rate as yet. For all engagements, I request a 

reimbursement of expenses. I irregularly revise my hourly rate to match what I perceive to be 

the market rate for someone of my experience. With respect to this case, however, I will provide 

at least ten (10) days advance notice of the revised regular hourly rate to counsel to the Debtors, 

the U.S. Trustee, and counsel to the OCUC and counsel to the Tort Committee.

12. Subject to the next two paragraphs, I have agreed to be compensated as 

follows:

a. an initial, one-time, setup fee of $25,000; and thereafter, 

b. a flat fee of $75,000 per month for the duration of this engagement. 

13. The initial setup fee will cover the cost of preparing and obtaining 

approval of a fee protocol, the cost of obtaining and training staff, and will allow the 

development of data analytics and analysis that are based upon practice in the case thus far. 

Approximately $15,000 of the setup fee will be allocated to the fees and expenses of Joseph 

Tiano and his firm Legal Decoder, Inc., whose data analytics software I plan to use to perform 

my analyses in this case

14. From my monthly flat fee, I will pay all expenses of the engagement, 

including:

a. The subscription and licensing fees of Legal Decoder, Inc., whose 

data analytics software I plan to use as the basis of my 

examinations for the duration of my appointment. Legal Decoder 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 1370-1 Filed: 04/12/19 Entered: 04/12/19 16:31:48 Page 11

11

will charge me a flat monthly licensing fee of $40,000 for its 

license and related services;

b. The hourly fees to be charged by those I employ as fee reviewers 

(at an estimated $50 to $100 per hour based on experience);

c. The costs and expenses related to any of my court appearances, 

together with all travel expenses related to any such court 

appearances. I will not charge any time present in court or related 

to my travel, nor will I charge for meals incurred during my 

travels. Time and expenses for any other person that I have 

employed, however, will be outside the flat fee, and subject to the 

next paragraph; and 

d. All other costs and expenses incurred that, in the exercise of my 

judgment, are necessary or appropriate to fulfill my obligations as 

fee examiner after the initial setup phase. These include any 

expenses for (i) an office or for any services normally associated 

with an office (such as telephone, staff assistance or other items of 

overhead), and (ii) any reimbursements requested by my current 

employer, Northwestern University.

15. The flat fee compensation does not include:

a. Travel and related expenses for anyone other than me necessary for 

any court appearance requested by any party other than myself; 

b. Time spent by me or anyone employed by me that relates to 

responding to discovery requests of any type, or for any testimony, 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 1370-1 Filed: 04/12/19 Entered: 04/12/19 16:31:48 Page 12

of 43
12

or for the preparation or of either. If such activities arise in the 

course of my appointment, they will be charged at the affected 

individual’s then-currently hourly rate; 

c. Time spent by Legal Decoder’s personnel for: 

i. preparation, normalization, reviewing, or manipulation of 

data or other information (both invoice data and 

professional biographical data) provided by professionals in 

non-LEDES format or not in compliance with data format 

and transfer requirements in the Fee Examiner protocol; 

ii. attending (in person or telephonically) any conference, 

deposition, hearing or other meeting; or 

iii. preparing any non-standard or customized report. 

d. If any of the activities covered by the preceding sub-paragrph are 

undertaken by Legal Decoder personnel in the course of my 

appointment, Legal Decoder will bill their time monthly at an 

hourly rate ranging from $75 to $325 per hour (based on such 

individual’s expertise), and the aggregate total added to my 

monthly flat fee. I will then pay the amount directly to Legal 

Decoder; or

e. time and expenses of any local counsel or other professional I may 

hire to represent me in this matter.

16. All individuals or entities I employ as anticipated in paragraph 14 will be 

retained as independent contractors and not as part-time or full-time employees. Each person so 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 1370-1 Filed: 04/12/19 Entered: 04/12/19 16:31:48 Page 13

of 43

employed will file with the court a declaration stating their current hourly rate (if one exists), and 

averring that he or she:

a. does not hold or represent an interest adverse to the estate, or any 

professional whose fees are to be reviewed;

b. is disinterested with respect to the estate and as to any professional 

whose fees are to be reviewed; and 

c. will update such declaration if there is any change of 

circumstances which would cause any prior declaration to be 

misleading or inaccurate in any substantial manner. 

For purposes of this paragraph “interest adverse” and “disinterested” take the meaning given to 

them in Section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

17. My appointment at Northwestern University is a full time position. 

Accordingly, my first responsibility is to Northwestern University and to my students. As a 

consequence, much of my work will be done at odd hours and weekends consistent with my 

teaching and other duties and responsibilities at Northwestern. I have consulted with other fee 

examiners, however, and believe that I can fully perform as a fee examiner in this case consistent 

with full performance of my duties at Northwestern. In this regard, I have disclosed this to my 

Dean (who is my ultimate supervisor), and she has approved my course of conduct in seeking 

and performing the fee examiner role in this case.

18. As required by Section 504 of the Bankruptcy Code, I affirm that I have 

not agreed to share any compensation or reimbursement received in connection with this chapter 

11 case with any other person. 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 1370-1 Filed: 04/12/19 Entered: 04/12/19 16:31:48 Page 14

19. I understand that any request for payment from the Debtors’ estates for 

compensation and reimbursement of expenses incurred in the performance of my services as the 

fee examiner will be subject to the approval of this Court and will be made in accordance with 

the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules for the 

United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California and orders of this Court, 

and applicable guidelines of the Office of the United States Trustee. This includes the flat fee 

request and the payments contained in ¶¶ 12-15 above.

20. In approving my retention, I ask that the court authorize the Debtors’ 

estates to commence payment of the flat fee provisions of ¶¶ 12-14 above.

21. The facts set forth herein are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, 

information, and belief.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. 

Signed April 11, 2019 at Chicago, Illinois.
