United States Bankruptcy Court, S.D. New York

1Opinion of the Court
FRANCIS G. CONRAD, Bankruptcy Judge.
Waterman brought this adversary proceeding 1 seeking injunctive and declaratory relief against asbestos-related claims filed by seamen formerly employed by it on one or more voyages of its merchant ships. Waterman contends that the claims were discharged in its 1983 bankruptcy or, alternatively, that MALC’s failure to produce evidence within its control warrants a finding that Claimants manifested an asbestos-related disease prior to the Date of Confirmation of the Waterman Plan of Reorganization, and their claims are thus barred.
