(related document(s)774 Motion to Extend, 775 Notice of Filing) (GERSHBEIN, EVAN) (Entered: 12/31/2014)
Dec 31, 2014 782 Notice (related document(s)692 Disclosure Statement, 693 Chapter 11 Plan) Debtors' Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization contains broad releases of i) claims held by a non-debtor third party against another non-debtor third party (third party releases) and ii) claims held by the debtors or non-debtor third parties against professionals and other fiduciaries of the bankruptcy estate, such as directors and officers of the debtors (exculpations). Debtors' Ballot, at item number 3, contained an "opt out" permitting creditors to elect not to be bound by any grant of third party releases. Approximately 26 creditors opted out of the third-party release provisions. The United States Trustee objected to confirmation, arguing that the release and exculpation provisions are contrary to the Bankruptcy Code and Ninth Circuit authority. See Resorts Intl., Inc. v. Lowenschuss (In re Lowenschuss), 67 F.3d 1394 (9th Cir. 1995), cert. denied, 517 U.S. 1243, 116 S. Ct. 2497, 135 L. Ed. 2d 189 (1996). Bankruptcy Code Section 105(a) grants a court broad equitable power to issue any order, process, or judgment that is necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this title. 11 U.S.C §105; 28 U.S.C. §1334(b). Section 105(a) can only be exercised within the confines of the Bankruptcy Code. It does not authorize the bankruptcy courts to create substantive rights that are otherwise unavailable under applicable law, or constitute a roving commission to do equity. In re Saxman, 325 F.3d 1168, 1175 (9th Cir. 2003) (quoting United States v. Sutton, 786 F.2d 1305, 1308 (5th Cir. 1986)). Section 524 restricts the broad equitable authority that §105(a) confers on the court; §524(e) specifically states, discharge of a debt of the debtor does not affect the liability of any other entity on, or the property of any other entity for, such debt. Thus, §524(e) precludes bankruptcy courts from discharging the liabilities of non-debtors and this court cannot confirm the Joint Plan with the third party releases. Further, in addition to being contrary to established Circuit authority, the court further finds that in this case, such releases are not fair and not necessary for reorganization. With respect to the exculpations, they are similarly overbroad as, among other things, they exceed the scope of the statutory quasi-immunity afforded members of the official committee under § 1103(c). For these reasons, the court declines to exercise any authority it may have to confirm a chapter 11 plan that includes the broad releases and exculpations. The court finds that the proposed releases, injunction and exculpation clauses are provisions severable from the Joint Plan. The court therefore severs these issues from the other confirmation issues so that the court may confirm the Joint Plan. As more fully set forth in the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order (A) Approving the Debtors Disclosure Statement on a final basis and (B) Confirming the Debtors Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, each of the other criteria under the Bankruptcy Code for confirmation of the Joint Plan has been satisfied and the court will therefore enter an order confirming the Joint Plan, reserving authority to modify the confirmation order with respect to the proposed releases, injunction and exculpation.
