02/07/202364U.S. Trustee's Statement of Objection: The United States Trustee opposes compensation unless and until the Court approves the retention of Attorney Lewis as counsel to the Debtor. Under Section 330, compensation may only be awarded to professionals who are employed pursuant to Section 327. Lamie v. United States Trustee, 540 U.S. 526 (2004); In re Peterson, 163 B.R. 665 (Bankr. D. Conn. 1994, Shiff, J) (employment under § 327(a) is a condition precedent to compensation from the estate under §330(a)); In re English Sheppard Realty Corp., 2010 WL 1492272 at *2 -*3 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. April 13, 2010) (applying Lamie in ordering disgorgement of retainer and fees from counsel who failed to obtain an order authorizing his employment). Failure to receive court approval authorizing counsel to be retained under section 327(a) is cause alone for denying compensation under § 330(a)(1) for any services rendered. In re English Sheppard Realty Corp., 2010 WL 1492272 at * 2 (citing Lamie v. United States Trustee, 540 U.S. at 538. Filed by U.S. Trustee.
