In re: Reliant Energy Channelview LP, No. 09-2074

In Chapter 11 proceedings involving a bid for the debtors' largest asset, a power plant, bankruptcy court's denial of a bidder's request for disbursement of administrative expenses in the form of a break-up fee from the estate is affirmed as the court did not abuse its discretion when it concluded that an award of a break-up fee was not necessary to preserve the value of the estate.
