OPINION
SIMANDLE, District Judge.
This case involves the payment of a mul-ti-million dollar settlement agreement to plaintiffs who were exposed to the cancer-causing substance known as polychlorinat-ed biphenyl. Plaintiffs have sought payment from defendant Armstrong World Industries, which is now a debtor in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, and from its insurance carriers, and have alleged that Armstrong and its employee Bethann Jakoboski, and Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and its employee Michael Carroll committed fraud and bad faith in the negotiations that led up to the settlement agreement.
