Opinion
May 10, 1939.
John S. Sheppard, of New York City, for debtor.
Beekman, Bogue, Leake, Stephens Black, of New York City (Eugene W. Leake, of New York City, of counsel), for Beatty Committee.
Hunt, Hill Betts, of New York City (L.J. Hunt, of New York City, of counsel), for Middle States Petroleum Corporation.
Newman Bisco, of New York City, (Hastings S. Morse, of New York City, of counsel), for Barnes Committee.
Jonah J. Goldstein and Eli Bennett Levy, both of New York City, for Independent Bondholders.
The amended plan certified by the Interstate Commerce Commission under date of October 27, 1939 is, with some minor changes which I believe are desirable, substantially like the plan suggested by the Court in its opinion of July 30, 1938. 36 F. Supp. 636. For the reasons outlined in that opinion, this amended plan is approved.
