Walton v. Cornerstone Ministries Inc.

Ruling
Appointment of examiner mandatory where chapter 11 debtor's fixed, liquidated unsecured debts exceeded $5 million threshold.
Procedural posture

Appellant, the United States trustee, appealed from an order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia that denied without prejudice his request for the appointment of an examiner to investigate debtor's alleged improper business dealings. The parties disputed whether 11 U.S.C.S. § 1104(c)(2) was mandatory or discretionary.
