In re McCartney (05-58001)

The debtor's attorney asked the court to determine that attorneys are not debt relief agencies under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. No party had threatened to enforce the debt relief agency provisions against the attorney. The court held that the attorney had failed to satisfy the case or controversy requirements necessary for the exercise of judicial power.
