DOCKET TEXT ORDER
(no separate order issued:) This case is scheduled to come before the court on June 2, 2022 for a hearing on a motion filed by Western Asbestos Settlement Trust (Dkt. 1912; the "Motion"). The Motion requests approval of the Trust's Eighteenth Annual Report and Accounting, Audited Financial Statements, and Claim Report (Dkt. 1911; the "Annual Report"). The Motion and Annual Report are supported by the Declaration of Steven L. Bray (Dkt. 1913; the "Bray Decl."). The court has reviewed the notice of hearing (Dkt. 1914) and all relevant certificates of service (Dkts. 1911, 1912, 1913, and 1914) and finds that the Motion, Annual Report, Bray Decl., and notice of hearing were properly served and that all necessary parties have received adequate notice of their opportunity to object to the relief sought. Pursuant to B.L.R. 9014-1(c)(1), objections to the Motion were due no later than May 18, 2022; none have been filed. Based on the court's analysis of the Motion, the Annual Report, and the Bray Decl., the court finds and concludes that the Motion is well-taken and ORDERS as follows: (1) the Motion will be GRANTED and the Annual Report APPROVED; (2) counsel for the Trust shall upload a proposed order consistent with that attached to the Motion as Ex. A; and (3) the June 2 hearing is hereby VACATED. (RE: related document(s)1912 Motion to Approve Document filed by Other Prof. Western Asbestos Settlement Trust).
