United States Trustee v. Tamm (In Re Hokulani Square, Inc.)

OPINION

PAPPAS, Bankruptcy Judge.

The United States Trustee (“the UST”) appeals the order of the bankruptcy court approving the application for final compen sation and expenses of chapter 7 1 trustee Bradley B. Tamm (“Tamm”). In particular, the UST argues that, in calculating the maximum compensation that could be allowed under § 326(a) for Tamm’s services in the bankruptcy case, the bankruptcy court erred when it included the amount of the credit bid made by secured creditors in connection with Tamm’s sale of real property. We agree with the UST, and therefore REVERSE and REMAND.
