Judge Colm Connolly affirmed the bankruptcy court’s final fee-allowance order and the July 25, 2024 order dismissing Allegiance Coal’s Chapter 11 cases, ending Collins St’s consolidated appeals and leaving the case dismissal intact. The district court final order covers Civil Action Nos. 24-656 and 24-926 and affirms both B.D.I. 734, the final omnibus professional-fee order, and B.D.I. 764, the dismissal order.

That matters because the appellate overhang on two end-of-case issues is now resolved: retained professionals keep their allowed fees, and the bankruptcy cases remain dismissed rather than revived or remanded. The trigger source was the March 31 opinion posted by Justia, but the bankruptcy docket itself records the affirmance and attached opinion.
