Other requirements: The court is very disturbed at the way this is being teed up for consideration, particularly since the settlement by its terms purports to release Specialty Laboratories, Inc. from any Chapter 5 avoidance liability. Twenty four hours notice is very close to effectively a denial of due process altogether. The Court also wants to know why May 28 is being foisted upon the parties as a deadline and whose idea that was. The court was inclined to simply deny the request for shortening time, but elected instead to hear an explanation of these issues. Movant should be prepared to explain itself.
