In re Kiser

Ruling
Additional attorneys' fee for representation in plan modification approved in reduced amount.
Procedural posture

Debtor moved to modify his confirmed chapter 13 plan to increase the monthly payment to the trustee and to provide for the payment of $500 in attorney fees to debtor's counsel for plan modification. Both the trustee and the IRS objected to the motion to modify. The IRS objection was resolved before trial, and the only issue for trial was the necessity and reasonableness of the additional fee under 11 U.S.C.S. § 330 and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2016(a).
