17 B 27961
Upon the application of the debtor’s counsel under the court’s flat fee agreement, wherein the debtor’s counsel filed a form chapter 13 plan with a modification to the priority distributions of creditors to elevate the priority of counsel’s payments, held:  The debtor’s counsel has violated the rules applicable to disclosure regarding agreements pertaining to its own compensation and, therefore, no longer qualifies to seek the flat fee.  The application is DENIED in part; specifically, counsel’s compensation is reduced as a sanction for failure to disclose the agreement.  The application is also continued with respect to a further determination regarding reasonableness.
