November 26, 2012	12	MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER by Judge A. Howard Matz: Appellant-Debtor Georges Marciano and Hill, Farrer & Burrill, LLP appeal from two orders of the bankruptcy court. In the order at issue in the consolidated appeals CV 12-2353 and CV 12-2890, the ba nkruptcy court denied HFB's petition for retroactive approval of its representation of Marciano when he was a Chapter 11 debtor-in-possession. In CV 12-5042, Marciano and HFB appeal from a subsequent order ordering HFB to disgorge the compensati on it received for its representation of Marciano during that period. Bankruptcy law charges counsel for a debtor-in-possession with a fiduciary duty to the estate. By its own admission, HFB violated this duty while it was representing Marciano as th e debtor-in-possession. For this reason, the bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion in denying HFB's retroactive application and ordering it to disgorge its fees. Thus, the Court AFFIRMS the orders of the bankruptcy court. (Made JS-6. Case Terminated.) (jp)
June 29, 2012	10	MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS by Judge A. Howard Matz. There are now nine pending appeals. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the parties in each of the above actions to meet and confer and file a Joint Status Report by no later than Monday, July 9, 2012. (kbr)
