Noranda Aluminum, Inc. filed a motion in the Court seeking the dismissal of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case on October 7, 2016. The debtor seeks dismissal of its bankruptcy case as it has completed the sale of its downstream business and is pursuing a sale of its upstream business. Once the sale of the upstream business concludes and approval of the global settlement is obtained, however, the debtors will be left without an estate to administer and without the ability to confirm a chapter 11 plan.
