[Update – The Honorable Brendan Linehan Shannon has also followed suit, issuing a letter ruling in In re Gulf Resources, LLC. Therein, His Honor agreed with Judge Walrath’s holding in Boomerang Tube“including comments contained in Footnote 6 of the Opinion applying its rationale to the retention of debtor’s counsel.”]
