Status·
Bruno's Supermarkets' chapter 11 case is now closed after a final decree was recorded on April 27, 2026, ending court administration of a liquidation that had been pending since 2009. The closure follows a long post-confirmation wind-down: the debtor filed its Fourth Amended Plan of Liquidation on September 22, 2009 and the court entered the confirmation order on September 25, 2009, as later recited in an insurance-coverage order [Dkt. 2301].
The last available docket activity in the filing corpus shows why the case lingered: William S. Kaye, the liquidating trustee, was still administering claims after confirmation, including objections and personal-injury claim mediation. In September 2010, he sought more time to mediate roughly 10 remaining personal-injury claims after settling or dismissing most of about 45 filed claims, while administrative and priority-claim litigation still delayed unsecured-creditor distributions in the second mediation-deadline extension motion [Dkt. 2606].
