In the Matter of IRA HAUPT CO., a Limited Partnership, Bankrupt. KAMERMAN KAMERMAN, Appellant, v. Charles SELIGSON, as Trustee in Bankruptcy of Ira Haupt Co., Appellee.

PER CURIAM:

The District Court for the Southern District of New York here confirmed a report of Referee Ryan in the bankruptcy of Ira Haupt Co., which denied a claim for $11,600 by Kamerman Kamerman for accounting services in preparing 1963 income tax returns allegedly rendered to the debtor-in-possession in a Chapter XI proceeding which has been superseded by an adjudication in bankruptcy. The Referee's denial was on the basis that the applicant had not carried its burden of establishing how much of the services for which compensation was claimed had been rendered after May 12, 1964, when its retention had been authorized — as distinguished from prior services in connection with 1963 income tax returns of Ira Haupt Co. for which $7800 had already been paid. We cannot say that this finding, approved by the district court, was "clearly erroneous." General Order 47. On the other hand, it seems clear that some services were rendered after May 12, 1964, and counsel for the Trustee stated at the argument before us that the Trustee would not oppose an award for services which Kamerman Kamerman could specifically identify as having been so rendered. Our affirmance should therefore not be read as precluding the Referee from making such an allowance if, on satisfactory proof of the amount of such services, he is so advised.

Affirmed.
