( Order granting in part and denying in part cross motions for summary judgment addressing the Trustee's action to recover preferential transfers and the applicability of the ordinary course of business defense)
(allowance of postpetition and postdischarge interest on oversecured claim)
Judge James E. Massey (Retired)
