ORDER
JAMES G. MIXON, Bankruptcy Judge.
The issue in each of these cases is whether attorney’s fees incurred in filing a motion to restrict public access on a claim should be assessed against the creditor. The law governing the award of attorney’s fees is equally applicable to the facts of the two cases, so the Court has consolidated the resolution of these proceedings in the interests of judicial economy.
The Court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 151 and § 1334. The pending matters are core proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(B) and the Court may enter a final judgment in the cases.
