Rudy Giuliani’s creditors filed a motion on Monday to formally oppose a recent effort to convert his ongoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization proceedings into a Chapter 7 liquidation of his assets.

On July 1, Giuliani submitted the terse conversion notice with U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane in New York’s Southern District.

On July 3, during a status conference, Lane brought up the petition. In turn, Giuliani’s attorney Gary Fischoff defended his client’s “absolute right” to make the move under bankruptcy law.

Now, in a strongly worded objection, attorneys representing a three-person “Committee of Unsecured Creditors” in the case, argued that several issues weighed against Giuliani’s request. The 33-page motion also directly contested the debtor’s claimed “absolute right.”
