On July 29, 2015, Deb Shops SDFMC LLC, in its capacity as debtor in possession, filed 92 preference complaints seeking to avoid and recover alleged preferential transfers pursuant to Sections 547 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code, and to disallow claims of the defendants pursuant to Section 502(d).
By way of background, Deb Shops SDFMC LLC ("Deb Shops" or the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on December 4, 2014 under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. By order dated December 5, 2014, the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases were consolidated for procedural purposes only and therefore are being jointly administered pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b).
The Rosner Law Group and ASK LLP represent the Debtors in these various preference cases. The pretrial conference has not been scheduled. These adversary actions, as well as the Debtors' bankruptcy proceeding, are before the Honorable Kevin Gross.
