Sexual Abuse Claimant 550 filed a motion to enlarge the claims bar date to require the Debtor and Verita Global to accept his late proof of claim despite the September 11, 2023 general bar date. The claimant asserts that he received no bankruptcy or bar-date notice and only later connected childhood sexual abuse to his adult psychological injuries; he seeks relief under Bankruptcy Rules 3003(c) and 9006(b)(1) on excusable-neglect grounds.
The motion puts another survivor claim into the estate’s contested claims process as the Debtor pursues confirmation of its Fourth Amended Plan. Claimant 550 argues that admission would not dilute a fixed plan payout and notes that 331 sexual-abuse creditors rejected the plan while eight accepted it. The court subsequently continued the hearing on this request to August 19, 2026, leaving the requested relief unresolved.
The court entered a final DIP order authorizing The Roman Catholic Bishop of Oakland to borrow up to $15.3 million from The Roman Catholic Cemeteries of the Diocese of Oakland, giving the debtor funded runway to keep operating and pursue confirmation of its Chapter 11 plan. The financing is limited to working capital, general corporate purposes and Chapter 11 costs under an approved weekly budget, with operating disbursements subject to a 10% permitted variance, according to the Final DIP Financing Order.
The order also gives the DIP lender superpriority administrative claims and first-priority liens on specified real estate collateral, establishes a professional-fee carveout with a $50,000 post-trigger cap, and bars use of DIP proceeds to challenge the lender’s rights. The maturity is keyed to the earlier of August 1, 2026 or the effective date of a confirmed plan, so the financing now functions as both liquidity bridge and timing pressure point as the case moves through confirmation disputes.
