| 06/02/2026 | Docket Text DOCKET TEXT ORDER (no separate order issued:) Debtor has not provided sufficient justification for sealing or redacting the information it has presented regarding a prospective refinancing. The Letter of Interest and Summary of Proposed Financing Terms (duplicated in Dkts 46 & 47) are just that. The supporting declaration of counsel lacks foundation. The proposed transaction is very routine, is not a commitment and even if it ultimately matures into a binding commitment, there is nothing particularly proprietary to justify an exception to the normal principle of full disclosure that would support invoking 11 USC § 107(b). Dkt 46 is sealed and will remain that way but not be considered. Dkt 47 was redacted in a haphazard manner such that what is redacted are only incomplete portions of text; nothing regarding a fee or other financial terms are redacted at all. The document will remain that way but will not be considered either. (Montali, Dennis) (Entered: 06/02/2026) | |
