Leisure Investments Holdings LLC, and certain of its affiliates (collectively,

the “Debtors”) in the above-captioned chapter 11 cases (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”),

hereby file this motion (this “Motion”) for entry of an order, substantially in the form of Exhibit

A hereto as (the “Proposed Order”). In support of this Motion, the Debtors rely upon and

incorporate by reference the Declaration of Steven Robert Strom in Support of the Debtors’

Chapter 11 Petitions and First Day Pleadings (the “First Day Declaration”). 1 In further support

of the Motion, the Debtors respectfully represent as follows:

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 and the Amended Standing

Order of Reference from the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, dated

2. This matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2) and,

pursuant to rule 9013-1(f) of the Local Rules of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District

of Delaware (the “Local Rules”), the Debtors consent to the entry of a final order by the Court in

connection with this Motion to the extent that it is later determined that the Court, absent consent

of the parties, cannot enter final orders or judgments consistent with Article III of the United States

Constitution.

3. The legal predicates for the relief requested herein are rule 1015(b) of the Federal

Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”) and Local Rule 1015-1.

BACKGROUND

4. On March 31, 2025, each of the Debtors filed a voluntary petition for relief pursuant

to chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et seq. (the “Bankruptcy

Code”). The Debtors continue to operate their business and manage their properties as debtors in

the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware (the “U.S. Trustee”), and no trustee or

Case No. 25-10624 (LSS). All further pleadings and other
papers shall be filed in and all further docket entries shall be
made in Case No. 25-10606 (LSS).

BASIS FOR RELIEF

11. Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b) provides, in pertinent part, that “[i]f . . . two or more

petitions are pending in the same court by or against . . . a debtor and an affiliate, the court may

order a joint administration of the estates.” Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1015. The Debtor entities are

“affiliates” as that term is defined in section 101(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 105(a) of the

Bankruptcy Code empowers the Court to “issue any order, process, or judgment that is necessary or

appropriate to carry out the provisions of [the Bankruptcy Code].” 11 U.S.C. § 105(a).

Accordingly, the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules authorize the Court to grant the relief

requested herein.

12. Further, Local Rule 1015-1 provides additional authority for the Court to order joint

administration of these Chapter 11 Cases:

The Court may order joint administration of related cases pending


in this Court without notice and an opportunity for hearing on a
motion supported by an affidavit, declaration, or verification
establishing that joint administration of the cases is warranted and
will ease the administrative burden for the Court and the parties. A
joint administration order entered under this Local Rule (i) is
procedural only and does not substantively consolidate the debtors’
estates and (ii) may be reconsidered on motion of a party in interest at
any time.

Del. Bankr. L.R. 1015-1.

13. Joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases will provide significant administrative

convenience without harming the substantive rights of any party in interest. Many of the motions,
33024982.3

6
Case 25-10606-LSS Doc 3 Filed 03/31/25 Page 7 of 14

hearings, and orders in the Chapter 11 Cases will affect each Debtor entity. The entry of an order

directing joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases will reduce fees and costs by avoiding

duplicative filings and objections. Joint administration also will allow the U.S. Trustee and all

parties in interest to monitor the Chapter 11 Cases with greater ease and efficiency.

14. Moreover, joint administration will not adversely affect the Debtors’ respective

constituencies because this Motion seeks only administrative, not substantive, consolidation of the

Debtors’ estates. Parties in interest will not be harmed by the relief requested; instead, parties in

interest will benefit from the cost reductions associated with the joint administration of the Chapter

11 Cases. Accordingly, the Debtors submit that the joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases

is in the best interests of their estates, their creditors, and all other parties in interest.

NOTICE
15. Notice of this Motion will be provided to: (a) the U.S. Trustee; (b) the Debtors’ 20

largest unsecured creditors (excluding insiders), once identified; (c) the Internal Revenue Service;

(d) the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware and all other states in which

the Debtors operate; (e) the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Florida; (f) the County

Attorney’s Office for Miami Dade County and Bay County, Florida; (g) counsel to the Prepetition

First Lien Noteholders and DIP Lenders; (h) counsel to the DIP Agent; (i) counsel to Prepetition

Second Lien Noteholders; (j) counsel to the Prepetition First Lien Collateral Agent and the

Prepetition Second Lien Collateral Agent; and (k) all parties that have filed a notice of appearance

and request for service of papers pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. Notice of this Motion and

any order entered hereon will be served in accordance with Local Rule 9013-1(m). In light of the

nature of the relief requested herein, the Debtors submit that no other or further notice is necessary.

substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, granting the relief requested herein and

such other and further relief as may be just and proper.
