Before the Court was the first amended plan by the main creditor for the liquidation of the debtor. The Court referenced In re PWS Holding Corp., 228 F.3d 224 (3d Cir. 2000) and In re Combustion Eng’g, Inc., 391 F.3d 190 (3d Cir. 2004) with regard to 11 U.S.C. § 1129(a) and concluded that the plan was not confirmable because it contained third party releases, which violate 11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(1).
