Re: Emergency Motion of Magten Asset Management Corporation and
the Law Debenture Trust Company of New York for Stay Pending
Appeal and for Expedited Appeal
Dear Sir or Madam:
On behalf of Appellants/Movants Magten Asset Management Corporation and the Law
Debenture Trust Company of New York, I enclose for filing the Emergency Motion for Stay
Pending Appeal of Order In Aid of Execution of Plan of Reorganization and for Expedited
Appeal (the "Motion").
By the Motion, Magten and Law Debenture seek (i) a stay pending appeal from the Order
of the Bankruptcy Court docketed February 2, 2007 as D.I. 3575 in 03—l2872—KJC (In re:
N0rthWestern Corp.) (the "Appeal"); (ii) expedited consideration of the Appeal; and (iii) relief
from the Court's Standing Order dated July 23, 2004. The Notice of Appeal was tiled on
February 12, 2007. Id. at D.I. 3584. On February 20, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court denied
Appellants' motion for a stay pending decision on the Appeal (order pending docketing).
If the Court's calendar permits, we respectfully request that the Motion be assigned to
The Honorable Joseph J. Faman, Jr. for emergency consideration. Judge Farnan currently has
before him numerous other matters between the parties arising from the North Western
bankruptcy.
Because the Motion is being filed on an emergency basis, the Bankruptcy Court has not
yet transmitted the record on appeal. For the Court's convenience, the pertinent documents are
attached as exhibits to my Declaration, tiled contemporaneously herewith.
