Fitzgerald, 142 S. Ct. 1770 (2022). See Office of the United States Trustee v. John Q. Hammons Fall 2006, LLC, 142 S. Ct. 2810 (2022). The Supreme Court’s judgment issued on July 15, 2022. That same day, we recalled our mandate and ordered the parties to file supplemental briefs regarding the impact of Siegel on this appeal. Upon careful consideration of the parties’ supplemental briefs and the Supreme Court’s Siegel opinion, we reinstate our original opinion, In re: John Q. Hammons Fall 2006, LLC, 15 F.4th 1011 (10th Cir. 2021). We reverse and remand for determination of Appellants’ quarterly Chapter 11 fees and a refund of overpayment consistent with our original opinion. Entered for the Court, Gregory A. Phillips Circuit Judge This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited, however, for its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1. * 6
