VO Litigation Trustee Matthew Dundon asked the court to extend the claims objection deadline by 180 days, from July 27, 2026 to January 25, 2027. The sixth extension motion says approximately 523 proofs of claim were filed and that the trustee still needs time to reconcile remaining claims, pursue objections and negotiate settlements. The trust has filed three omnibus objections and reached settlements with creditors including Herc Rentals and Leon Kozlowski.
The extension would preserve the trust’s ability to challenge invalid or overstated claims for another six months, extending the post-confirmation claims-resolution period more than three years beyond the plan’s August 2, 2023 effective date. Objections to the motion are due August 10, 2026, with a hearing set for September 15 at 9:30 a.m. ET; the motion also reserves the trustee’s right to seek additional extensions.
The court extended Matthew Dundon’s deadline, as litigation trustee of the VO Litigation Trust, to object to claims through and including July 27, 2026, with the right to seek further extensions preserved in the Order Extending Claims Objection Deadline. The order granted the fifth extension motion without narrowing the relief to particular creditors or claim categories, keeping the post-confirmation claims-reconciliation window open across the case.
The March 11 hearing tied to the motion was later cancelled because the relief had already been granted, so the hearing notice itself is not the development. The live point for creditors and claims buyers is that allowance disputes can still be brought into late July, delaying finality around the claim pool and any distribution analysis.
