The judge overseeing the final stages of the FirstEnergy Solutions bankruptcy case has agreed to push back a hearing to July on whether to approve more than $68 million in professional fees and expenses to international law firm Akin Gump.
As part of that, U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Alan Koschik in Akron also agreed to delays in the filings of affidavits by four Ohio lobbyists with Akin Gump in answering questions tied to the criminal investigation of the $61 million Larry Householder bribery case.
The criminal case also has involved Akron utility FirstEnergy Corp. and its former FirstEnergy Solutions generation subsidiary, the renamed Energy Harbor Corp., that emerged out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year in Koschik s court.
