UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA

Charlotte Division

IN RE: GARLOCK SEALING TECHNOLOGIES LLC, et al., Debtors1

Case No. 10-31607 Chapter 11 Jointly Administered

Sixteenth Interim Application of Schachter Harris, LLP for

Allowance of Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Professional Services Rendered as

Special Asbestos Defense Counsel for Debtors for the Period from February 1, 2017 through May 31, 2017

Schachter Harris, LLP, special asbestos defense counsel, submits this Sixteenth interim

application (“Application”) for allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses from

February 1, 2017 through May 31, 2017 (“Compensation Period”) under sections 330 and 331 of

title 11 of the United States Code, Rule 2016 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and

this Court’s Administrative Order under 11 U.S.C. §§ 105(a) and 331 Establishing Procedures for

Interim Compensation and Reimbursement Expenses for Professionals (“Fee Procedure

Order”) entered July 15, 2010 (Docket No. 233).

Schachter Harris moves for an order awarding it reasonable compensation for the

Compensation Period for professional legal services rendered to the Debtors in the amount of

$18,931.00 and reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses in the amount of $13,308.00 for

a total of $32,239.00. In support of this Application, Schachter Harris would show:

1 The Debtors in these jointly administered cases are Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC, Garrison Litigation Management Group, Ltd. and The Anchor Packing Company.


2

Background

1. This court has jurisdiction over this Application under 28 U.S.C. §§157 and 1334.

This is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. §157 (b)(2).

2. On June 5, 2010 (the “Petition Date”), the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for

relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

3. On June 9, 2010, an Order Authorizing Joint Administration of Related Chapter 11

Cases (Docket No. 58) was entered authorizing the joint administration of all three debtor cases.

4. On July 21, 2010, the Court entered an Order Approving Employment of

Schachter Harris, LLP as Special Asbestos Defense Counsel as of the Petition Date (Docket No.

264) in the Chapter 11 cases.

5. After June 5, 2010, Schachter Harris has rendered services and incurred

reasonable expenses on behalf of Debtors.

6. Under the Fee Procedure Order, professionals may request monthly

compensation and reimbursement. Those requests are to be served on certain identified

interested parties for review. If no objection is received within ten (10) days of such request, the

Debtors are authorized to pay 90% of the fees and 100% of the expenses requested.

7. On December 24, 2014, the Court appointed W. Clarkson McDow as the Fee

Examiner in these cases (Docket No. 4291). On June 1, 2015, the Court entered the Order

Granting Fee Examiner’s Motion for Proposed Professional Guidelines (Docket No. 4634) (“Fee

Guidelines”).


3

Compensation Received During Compensation Period

8. All services for which Schachter Harris seeks compensation were performed for or

on behalf of the Debtors. During the Compensation Period, Schachter Harris has received

monthly payments for 90% of fees and 100% of expenses from the Debtors under the Fee

Procedure Order as follows:

Date of Request

Period Covered Total Fees Total Expenses

Payment Received

Mar 20, 2017 February 1-28, 2017 $117.00 $2,376.77 $2,482.07

Schachter Harris’s monthly fee requests were served upon certain interested parties for review as

directed by the Fee Procedure Order. As of the date of this Application, no interested party has

objected to these monthly fee requests.

Summary of Services Rendered

9. Schachter Harris has represented and advised the Debtor in its role as asbestos

defense counsel since 2003. The Debtor retained Schachter Harris to continue to represent the

Debtors in matters concerning the Debtors’ defenses and liability for asbestos related claims as

they concern various aspects of the Debtors’ restructuring plan and other proceedings in the

2 Schachter Harris has reduced the total amount of fees requested in this application to $18,931.00. See Exhibit B and paragraph 15 below.


4

Cases. Schachter Harris also continues to represent Debtors in matters related to the cases in

which Schachter Harris’s lawyers represented Garlock and Anchor before the petition date.

10. Exhibits A-1 through A-4 to this application describe the services performed and

expenses incurred by Schachter Harris each month during the interim period. The exhibits

include the services performed, the project category of the services, the name of the professional

or paraprofessional that rendered the services, the date on which the services were rendered, the

amount of time spent performing the services, and the fee incurred. Each exhibit also includes a

summary of the costs, fees, and expenses incurred during that month, a summary of the time

spent on the separate project categories, and a summary of the professionals and

paraprofessionals that rendered services to the Debtors, which includes each professional’s or

paraprofessional’s title, hourly rate, total number of hours billed and the fees billed.

11. Billing Judgment. Schachter Harris does not bill the Debtor for tasks that do not

increase the value the Debtor receives from the firm’s services; the firm does not track this

unbilled time. In addition, Schachter Harris has reduced its compensation request by $117, as

discussed in paragraph 15 below. To the extent that charges for services rendered or expenses

incurred related to the Compensation Period but were not processed prior to the preparation of,

or otherwise included in this Application, Schachter Harris reserves the right to request

additional compensation for such services and reimbursement of such expenses in future

applications.

12. Attached as Exhibit B is a cumulative compensation summary broken down by

project category for the Compensation Period. This interim period included work in two project

categories: Litigation and Fee Proceedings.


5

13. The vast majority of services Schachter Harris rendered fell within the Litigation

project category. This work was billed to the Confirmation subcategory, which included the

firm’s work responding to a request from Garrison regarding information needed for

confirmation, researching information related to a pre-petition appellate case that was necessary

for confirmation, preparing and presenting Mr. Magee for deposition and related follow-up and

analysis, and advising Debtors during a settlement conference with an insurer.

14. The Fee Proceedings project category includes work responding to the Fee

Examiner’s inquiries regarding the Fourteenth Interim Application. The Fee Proceedings

project category also includes Schachter Harris’s work preparing the Fifteenth Interim Fee

Application, which required 1.6 hours of associate and paralegal time and $309 in fees, or less

than 4% of the $8,959 in fees requested in the Fifteenth Application.

15. Schachter Harris has reduced its compensation request by $117, so as not to bill

Debtors for additional time drafting the Fourteenth Interim Application, a task which was

similarly reduced in Schachter Harris’s Fifteenth Interim Application in order to apply the

suggested 3-5% metric set forth in In re Mesa Air Group, Inc. 449 B.R. 441, 445-446 (Bankr.

S.D.N.Y. 2011). Accordingly, Schachter Harris’s request for compensation in the Fee

Proceedings project category totals $762.00, as shown on Exhibit B.

16. Attached as Exhibit C is a cumulative expense summary for the Compensation

Period. Schachter Harris incurred actual, reasonable, and necessary expenses totaling

$13,308.00, of which $9,507.08 was incurred on behalf of Debtors for ongoing record retrieval

and storage costs previously approved by the Fee Examiner. The remaining expenses were


6

necessary to allow Mr. Harris to present Mr. Magee at deposition, and to attend a settlement

conference on behalf of Debtors.

17. A summary of the professionals and paraprofessionals that have rendered services

to the Debtors, which includes each professional’s or paraprofessional’s title, years of

experience, hourly rate, total number of hours billed, and fees billed for the Compensation

Period, is attached as Exhibit D. Schachter Harris believes its billing rates for the Interim Period

should be deemed reasonable for purposes of this Court’s determination of the reasonableness of

the fees.

18. Although a few timekeepers billed smaller amounts of time during this

Compensation Period due to the reduction in litigation work following the settlement Debtors

reached in March 2016, all professionals and paraprofessionals who rendered services during this

Compensation Period performed substantial work for Debtors in previous interim periods. Thus,

Schachter Harris does not consider these timekeepers to be “transitory professionals” as

contemplated by the Fee Guidelines.

19. Attached as Exhibit E is a background summary of each professional included in

this application, as required by the Local Guidelines.

20. No in-office conferences involving more than two professionals were billed during

the Interim Period. On two occasions during the Interim Period, Mr. Harris conferred with RBH

attorneys to analyze issues related to presenting Mr. Magee for deposition and for presenting

Debtor’s interests at a settlement conference. The perspectives of each professional attending

each meeting were both necessary and beneficial to the estate.


7

Schachter Harris’s Fees and Expenses

21. Schachter Harris requests that the Court authorize (i) interim allowance of

compensation for professional services rendered during the Compensation Period in the amount

of $18,931.00 and (ii) the reimbursement of actual and necessary expenses and other charges

incurred by Schachter Harris in the connection with the rendition of such professional services in

the amount of $13,308.00.

22. The services that Schachter Harris rendered to Debtors during the Compensation

Period required 50.9 hours of the time of professionals and paraprofessionals.

Basis for Relief

23. The allowance of interim compensation for services rendered and reimbursement

of expenses incurred in bankruptcy matters is provided for in section 331 of the Bankruptcy Code,

“[a] debtor’s attorney, or any professional person… may apply to the court…for such

compensation for services rendered…as is provided under Section 330 of this title.”

24. Section 330(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a court may award to a

professional, including debtor’s attorney, “reasonable compensation for actual, necessary

services rendered by the …. professional person, or attorney and by any paraprofessional person

employed by any such person,” together with “reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses.”

11 U.S.C. § 330 (a)(1).

25. The services for which Schachter Harris seeks compensation were necessary and

beneficial to the estate, were not duplicative, and were performed within a reasonable amount of

time commensurate with the complexity, importance, and nature of the issues. 11 U.S.C. § 330

(a)(3)-(4).

Notice

26. Schachter Harris represents to the Court that this Sixteenth Application and

accompanying Exhibits will be served upon the Notice Parties, and a Notice of Opportunity for

Hearing upon all other parties-in-interest as listed on the Certificate of Services filed with this

Court.

Conclusion

For the reasons submitted above, Schachter Harris requests that this Court enter an order

awarding Schachter Harris (i) interim compensation from the Debtors for services rendered for

the Compensation Period in the amount of $18,931.00, (ii) reimbursement of actual and

necessary expenses and other charges incurred in connection with the rendition of such services,

in the amount of $13,308.00, and (iii) such other relief as may be just and proper.
