minutes. The court expects counsel to meet and confer in 

advance to divide their allotted time.

Next, Debtors’ counsel and other interested parties should 

report on stipulations establishing briefing schedules for the 

inverse condemnation and impairment issues that were discussed 

at prior hearings. Counsel should also clarify whether this 

court or the district court will be asked to decide the Cantu 

issue. See Parties’ Joint Statement, etc., (USDC Case No. 3:19-

cv-05257 – JD (Dkt. No. 80), at 7:13-14.

Finally, the court will consider the Joint Motion to 

Terminate Exclusivity (Dkt. No. 3940). Movants and Debtors will 

each have a total of forty-five minutes, with movants reserving 

time for their reply. The court expects counsel to meet and 

confer in advance to divide their allotted time.

The issue of termination of exclusivity has recently been 

fully briefed, argued and decided. There is no need to travel 

that path again. This time around, the court wants movants’ 

counsel to focus on what has changed in such a short period of 

time to justify reversing course. If the court does revisit the 

previous decision, what is the likely schedule and impact on the 

pending estimation proceedings in the district court and the 

Tubbs Fire trial in the San Francisco Superior Court? Further, 

movants’ counsel should explain whether their proposed plan 

should be considered a back-up in case the Debtors’ plan cannot 

be confirmed or whether two competing plans should be allowed to 

proceed in parallel, subject to the provisions of section 

1129(c).

Debtors’ counsel should address the same issues and also 

explain what difficulties might follow from permitting 

consideration of a competing plan.
