Lucira Chapter 11 closes after liquidating trustee finishes administration
The court entered a final decree closing Lucira Health's Chapter 11 case on April 20, 2026, ending the bankruptcy docket more than two years after the October 4, 2023 effective date of the liquidation plan. Brian Ryniker of RK Consultants, as liquidating trustee of the Lucira Liquidating Trust, sought the decree after representing that the estate had been fully administered, all plan transactions had been implemented, claims reconciliation was complete, claims objections were sustained or consensually resolved, final tax and dissolution work was done, and all adversary proceedings were closed. The trustee also reported that required distributions had been made except for a small number of unlocatable claimants, with residual amounts to be donated to charity under the plan, as described in the Final Decree Motion.
The Final Decree formally closes the case but preserves the ability of the trustee or another party in interest to seek reopening for cause. For professionals tracking Lucira, this converts the matter from active liquidation administration to a closed-case posture, with only post-closing administrative items such as final U.S. Trustee reports and fees left to complete.
