Rebuffed in the Second Circuit, the Solicitor General is asking the Supreme Court to stay issuance of the mandate that would allow Purdue Pharma to consummate its chapter 11 plan.

In a motion to stay the issuance of the mandate, the government has announced that it will be filing a petition for certiorari asking the Supreme Court to review the Second Circuit’s Purdue decision allowing bankruptcy courts to issue releases to nondebtors.

The Supreme Court resolved a split of circuits in an opinion that could give support to the notion that arbitration agreements are not enforceable in bankruptcy.
