Question Presented (from Petition)

Question not identified.

The petition text provided is an "Application to Extend Time for Filing Petition for Writ of Certiorari," not a petition for a writ of certiorari itself. This application document does not contain a "Question(s) Presented" section. While the introduction discusses the legal issue at stake ("whether Section 365(c)(2) precludes Chapter 11 debtors from assuming pre-petition contracts that require no extension of new credit, money, property, or financing of any kind to the debtor post-bankruptcy"), this is framing of the underlying case issue, not the formal "Question(s) Presented" section of a certiorari petition.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a settlement agreement resolving pre-bankruptcy pension fund liabilities constitutes a 'financial accommodation' that cannot be assumed under 11 U.S.C. § 365(c)(2) when no new credit or financing is extended post-bankruptcy
