Ruling
Trustee could offset amounts paid to Minerals Management Services on behalf of debtor's former lessors against lessor's claim against the estate.
Procedural posture
Creditors filed a petition against a mining company (debtor), seeking an order requiring the debtor to enter bankruptcy. The bankruptcy court entered an order for relief, converted the case to one under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, and appointed a trustee. The trustee filed adversary proceedings against two companies (lessors) that leased property to the debtor and a company (transferee) that acquired rights to mine coal on the properties.
