The court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334(b) and the
general order of reference entered in this district on July 16, 1984. This is a core proceeding

under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(A) and (0).

This opinion is not intended for publication or citation. The availability of this opinion, in
electronic or printed form, is not the result of a direct submission by the Court.

On June 7, 2011, Priscilla Schnittke, debtors’ attorney, (“Schnittke”) filed an application
for attorney fees. On June 10, 2011, the chapter 13 trustee Toby L. Rosen (“trustee”) filed a
response. The response states that the proposed attorney fees exceed the court’s “no look”
amount pursuant to Administrative Order 08-05.

A hearing on the application was held on July 6, 2011. At hearing, Schnittke explained
that work outside the scope of services included in the “no look” fee was required because of
issues related to an IRS claim related to cancellation of debt. At the close of the hearing, the
court stated that it would review the application and issue a decision.

The court has reviewed the application and finds that the additional compensation
requested is reasonable. The “no look” fee in this case is $2,250, which is calculated by adding
the base fee of $1,500, a case termination fee of $500 and a $250 extended committment fee. As
such, the requested fee of $2,362.50 exceeds the “no look” fee by only $112.50. The court
believes that debtors’ counsel has done at least some additional work in this case. Accordingly,
the trustee’s objection in overruled and the application for compensation is granted.

An order will issue with this opinion.
