Upon consideration of the Debtors’ Seventh Omnibus Objection to Proofs of Claim (Duplicate and Amended and Superseded Claims) filed by WorldCom, Inc. and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors”), dated May 9, 2003, seeking the expungement and disallowance of duplicate and amended and superseded proofs of claim identified on Exhibit A andExhibit B attached hereto as “Claim To Be Expunged;” and it appearing that the expungement and disallowance of these proofs of claim is in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates and their creditors; and good and sufficient notice having been given in accordance with the Claim Objection Procedures Order[1] ; and it appearing that the Debtors have continued their objections to the proofs of claim identified on ExhibitC, without prejudice; and after due consideration and sufficient cause appearing therefore, it is
ORDERED that the duplicate proofs of claim identified on Exhibit A as “Claim To Be Expunged” are hereby expunged and such claims are hereby disallowed in their entirety; and it is further
ORDERED that the amended and superseded proofs of claim identified onExhibit B as “Claim To Be Expunged” are hereby expunged and such claims are hereby disallowed in their entirety; and it is further
ORDERED that this Order does not affect the claims identified onExhibit A or Exhibit B as the “Remaining Claim;” and it is further
ORDERED that, to the extent that an amended and superseded proof of claim identified on Exhibit B contains attachments that were not included with the subsequently filed proof of claim, any such attachments are hereby deemed to be attached to the remaining proof of claim; and it is further
ORDERED that the Debtors have expressly reserved their right to object to the proofs of claim identified as the “Remaining Claim” on Exhibit A
and Exhibit B, and to the continued claims on Exhibit C, on any grounds at a later date; and it is further
ORDERED that the disallowance and expungement of any timely-filed proofs of claim identified on Exhibit A and Exhibit B as “Claim To Be Expunged” shall not result, in and of itself, in any “Remaining Claim” being treated as a late filed claim.
