There is pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Virginia a reopened bankruptcy proceeding for Yellow Poplar Lumber Company, Inc., Case No. 17-70882.

The U.S. District Court reopened the case, originally closed in 1930, because it awarded gas rights to Yellow Poplar Lumber Company, Inc. on June 7, 2017. As a result of the settlement, John M. Lamie, Trustee, received the proceeds from gas wells in which Yellow Poplar Lumber Company owned an interest.

The Trustee has filed a Notice of Proposed Distribution to the unsecured creditors. The proposed distribution will pay the unsatisfied claims of the creditors in full with interest. The rate of interest set by the Court will affect the amount remaining for the Trustee to distribute to the shareholders in the proceeding after the payment of taxes and the costs of administration. The proposed distribution is available from the Trustee’s office below or at his firm’s website blglaw.us.

If you have an objection to the proposed distribution and you would like the Court to consider it, then on or before September 28, 2018, you or your attorney must file with the Court a written objection. A hearing on the Motion will be held on October 4, 2018 in the U.S. District Courtroom, 180 W. Main Street, Abingdon, VA 24210.
