IN RE JARTRAN, INC.

732 F.2d 584 (1984)

NATURE OF THE CASE: Donnelley (D) creditors, appealed a ruling, which affirmed the bankruptcy judge's dismissal of their claim for administrative priority against Jartran's (P) estate.

FACTS: P leases trucks to consumers nationwide. Pursuant to an agreement Ds placed P's orders for classified advertisements in telephone directories. Under the Agreement, Tinsley (D) and P were liable to Donnelley (D) for the cost of the advertising. Donnelley (D) was liable to the publishers of the various directories. The Agreement provided that Tinsley (D) and P would be billed for the ads only after they were published. P filed for reorganization under Chapter 11. Ds claim that the amount owing for ads placed in such directories, $1,311,695.50, should be treated as an administrative expense. The court denied that status and Ds appealed.
