Securities
Whether 28 U.S.C. §1930(a)(6)(A) applies to a case under Chapter 11 of Title 11, United States Code, upon reopening
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether 28 U.S.C. §1930(a)(6)(A) applies to a case under Chapter 11 of Title 11, United States Code, upon reopening, where the chapter 11 case was filed on March 19, 2011; a plan was confirmed in 2014 and the case closed; and the case was then reopened and closed again more than once. 2. Whether the 2017 and 2021 amendments to 28 U.S.C. §1930(a)(6)(A) and (B) should be applied retroactively to debtors whose chapter 11 cases were filed, confirmed, closed, and then reopened before the amendments became effective. 3. Whether the amendments are unconstitutional because of the disparate treatment of debtors in “United States Trustee” districts as opposed to “Bankruptcy Administrator” districts.
