    In the Relativity Media Chapter 11 case in the Southern District of New York, Bankruptcy Judge Michael E. Wiles definitively shot down challenges brought by the fee examiner Robert Keach and Relativity Secured Lender LLC (together with the reorganized debtor, "RSL") to transaction fees earned by Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. and PJT Partners. Judge Wiles opined that not only did the fee examiner not have the power he thought he had to challenge the transaction fees earned by Houlihan Lokey and PJT in accordance with their retention by the debtors under Section 328 of the Bankruptcy Code, but he also called into question the efficacy of the so-called "Blackstone Protocol," which affords Section 330 "reasonableness" review to the Office of the United States Trustee. Bench Decision Regarding Objections to Final Fee Applications of PJT Partners L.P. and Houlihan Lokey Capital Inc., In re Relativity Fashion, LLC, et al., 2016 BL 419222, No. 15-11989 (MEW) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Dec. 16, 2016) [ECF No. 2194] (Op.).
