The standing trustee objected to confirmation of three chapter 13 plans. At issue was whether the amount sought to be paid as fees to counsel for the debtors, which fees were higher than the "presumptive" amount previously approved by the court, was properly charged and the impact on that determination of changes in counsel's responsibilities resulting from enactment of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 ("BAPCPA").
