12-27-2011
In re: EBRO FOODS, INC. Debtor.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF ORDER AWARDING TO
FORREST L. INGRAM P.C., ATTORNEYS FOR DEBTOR, FOR ALLOWANCE AND PAYMENT OF
INTERIM COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ ¦TOTAL FEES REQUESTED:¦$10,724.50 ¦TOTAL COSTS REQUESTED:¦$1134 ¦ +---------------------+------------+----------------------+-------¦ ¦TOTAL FEES REDUCED: ¦$487.50 ¦TOTAL COSTS REDUCED: ¦$0.00 ¦ +---------------------+------------+----------------------+-------¦ ¦TOTAL FEES ALLOWED: ¦$10,237.00 ¦TOTAL COSTS ALLOWED: ¦$1134 ¦ +-----------------------------------------------------------------+
TOTAL FEES AND COSTS ALLOWED: $10,248.34
The attached time and expense entries have been underlined to reflect disallowance in whole or in part. The basis for each disallowance is reflected by numerical notations that appear on the left of each underlined entry. The numerical notations correspond to the enumerated paragraphs below.
(2) Unreasonable Time
As to the time devoted to the preparation of the fee application itself, the Court denies the allowance of compensation that is disproportionate to the total hours in the main case. In re Wildman, 72 B.R. 700, 711 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1987) ("In the absence of unusual circumstances, the hours allowed by this Court for preparing and litigating the attorney fee application should not exceed three percent of the total hours in the main case."); In re Spanjer Bros., Inc., 203 B.R. 85, 93 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1996) (compensation limited to 5%). See also In re Pettibone Corp., 74 B.R. 293, 304 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1987) (citing Coulter v. State of Tennessee, 805 F.2d 146, 151 (6th Cir. 1986) (in non-bankruptcy cases, compensation for preparation and litigation of fee petitions limited to 3-5% of the hours of the main case)).
(4) Insufficient Description
The Court denies the allowance of compensation for the following task since the description of the time entry fails to identify in a reasonable manner the service rendered. In re Pettibone, 74 B.R. 293, 301 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1987) ("A proper fee application must list each activity, its date, the attorney who performed the work, a description of the nature and substance of the work performed, and the time spent on the work. [Citation omitted] Records which give no explanation of the activities performed are not compensable."); In re Wildman, 72 B.R. 700, 708-9 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1987) (same).
(7) Lumping
The Court may impose a ten percent penalty for "lumping." In re Wildman, 72 B.R. 700, 709 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1987) ("Applicants may not circumvent the minimum time requirement or any of the requirements of detail by "lumping" a bunch of activities into a single entry, [citation omitted]. Each type of service should be listed with the corresponding specific time allotment.").
