(dkt. 5065), setting six interim applications for hearing on 

December 17, 2019. While the court appreciates that the Fee 

Examiner reached compromises with the six firms identified in 

Exhibit A to the Notice, neither the Order Granting Fee 

Examiner’s Motion to Approve Fee Procedures (dkt. 4770) nor the 

Order Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 331 and 105(a) and Fed. R. Bankr. 

P. 2016 for Authority to Establish Procedures for Interim

Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses of Professionals 

(dkt. 701) establishes a shortened notice procedure for fee 

applications. Because the 21-day notice requirements set forth 

in Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002(a)(6) still applied, the court entered 

a docket text order taking the following matters off the 

December 17 calendar: 

(1) KPMG LLP’s First Interim Application for Compensation

(Dkt. 2992);

(2) Baker & Hostetler LLP’s First Interim Application for

Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses of Baker &

Hostetler LLP (Dkt. 2995);

(3) Munger Tolles & Olson LLP’s First Interim Fee

Application (Dkt. 2996);

(4) FTI Consulting Inc.’s First Interim Application for

Compensation (Dkt. 3137);

(5) Jenner & Block’s First Interim Application for

Compensation (Dkt. 3465); and

(6) Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP’s First Interim Application

for Compensation (Dkt. 3683).

Contemporaneously with the issuance of this order, the 

court is entering an Amended Order Granting Fee Examiner’s 

Motion to Approve Fee Procedures, which modifies paragraph 2(b) 

to specify the procedures for hearings where an applicant and

the Fee Examiner have reached a compromise. If the notice 

requirements of that amended order and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 

2002(a)(6) are satisfied, the court can hear the above fee 

applications on the PG&E calendar scheduled for January 14, 2020 

at 10:00 a.m. The Fee Examiner should comply with paragraph 2 

of the Amended Order Granting Fee Examiner’s Motion to Approve 

Fee Procedures when scheduling future fee application hearings.
