MEMORANDUM ORDER
FISH, District Judge.
This appeal from the bankruptcy court presents a single issue: can counsel for the debtor be compensated, from assets of the estate, for services rendered after the appointment of a trustee? The bankruptcy court, acknowledging that generally the answer is no, nevertheless decided that this case was exceptional, and made an award. In re Pro-Snax Distributors, Inc., 204 B.R. 492 (Bankr.N.D.Tex.1996). The general creditors appeal. Although the matter is not free from doubt, this court concludes that the bankruptcy court was in error and reverses its decision.
