January 23, 2001
Issue:
Whether fees for Debtors' counsel should be denied or reduced due to the attorney's failure to disclose a potential conflict of interest?

The conflict of interest became apparent post-petition. Debtors' counsel should have disclosed it in a supplemental to the earlier application to employ and his affidavit as the professional to be employed. No sanction was imposed for this first time error.
