ORDER DENYING FEE APPLICATION WITHOUT PREJUDICE, AS PREMATURE
THOMAS J. TUCKER, Bankruptcy Judge.
This case is before the Court on a fee application filed by the attorney for the Debtor on October 10, 2016, in a document entitled "Application for Payment of Pre-Confirmation Attorney Fees as an Administrative Expense Through the Chapter 13 Plan From 4/19/16 to 5/19/16" (Docket # 60, the "Fee Application"). On November 8, 2016, the Debtor's attorney filed a Certification of Non-Response, indicating that no one had filed an objection to the Fee Application.
The Court will deny the Fee Application, without prejudice as stated below, because no Chapter 13 plan has been confirmed yet. The Fee Application does not state or demonstrate good cause for the Court to allow fees for the Debtor's counsel at a time, when no Chapter 13 plan has been confirmed yet.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the Fee Application (Docket # 60) is denied.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this Order is without prejudice to the right of the Debtor's counsel to file a new fee application, after one of the following events has occurred in this case: (1) a plan has been confirmed; (2) the case has been converted to Chapter 7; or (3) the case has been dismissed.
