Get separate counsel to file 11 for corp. You can write two plans, or make a motion to consolidate. Buchalter is able to sue corp.

I think the problem is the basis for the AP is not correct. The assets are
not part of the estate. If there is a close nexus (which no doubt there
is), then some alternatives include a motion under 105 (like they did in
Detroit's bk) or a corporate Chapter 11 (possibly with substantive
consolidation). Just my thoughts. You should speak/consult with one of the

Well, if there was case authority for the debtor to take the matter to
bankruptcy court under comparable circumstances, then that may be a basis for a
good faith defense to the sanctions motion. Otherwise, I still think
the debtor has a tough row to hoe....
