What This Document Is

A two-page entered order, signed by Judge Paul M. Black on June 4, 2024, granting in full the third interim fee application of accountant Jack Lantzy that the Trustee filed at docket entry 436.

Factual Summary

The order recites that the Court previously approved Lantzy's employment as estate accountant (referencing the original 2020 employment order, docket entry 223, summarized elsewhere in this lease's range) and that, pursuant to that authority, Lantzy prepared and filed the Debtor's 2022 and 2023 state and federal tax returns for both Panthera Enterprises, LLC and its subsidiary, Panthera Training Center, LLC. The order recounts that Lantzy's time and costs, set forth in Exhibits A and B of his fee application (docket entry 436), totaled $2,578.69. The decretal paragraph orders that the Third Interim Fee Application of Lantzy "is hereby GRANTED in the total amount of $2,578.69," itemized as $2,055.00 in fees and $523.69 in expenses, matching the amounts requested. The order bears the signature block "SIGNED: June 4th, 2024" over Judge Black's name and the standard "THIS ORDER HAS BEEN ENTERED ON THE DOCKET" notation, and is signed "Prepared by" Trustee Aaron C. Amore beneath the judge's block. This order directly resolves the open question flagged in the previously-reviewed summaries for docket entries 436.0 and 436.3 (the fee application and its accompanying proposed order), both of which noted that the docket report showed a separate entered order on the fee application dated June 4, 2024 but stated that its own docket number and text had not yet been independently reviewed within this lease's range — that order is this document, docket entry 440.
