MOTION OF DEBTORS FOR JOINT ADMINISTRATION OF CHAPTER 11 CASES

Crdentia Corp. ("Crdentia Corp.") and its affiliated debtors, ATS Universal, LLC, Baker Anderson Christie, Inc., CRDE Corp., GHS Acquisition Corporation, Health Industry

Professionals, LLC, IDP Holding, Inc., MP Health Corp., New Age Staffing, Inc. and Nurses Network, Inc., (collectively with Crdentia Corp., the "Debtors" or "Crdentia"), file this Motion for Joint Administration of Chapter 11 Cases (the "Motion") pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 105(a), Rule 1015(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the "Bankruptcy Rules"), and Rule 1015-1 of the Local Rules of Banktuptcy Practice and Procedure for the United States Bankruptcy Comi for the District of Delaware (the "Local Rules") and respectfully represent as follows:
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
1.

The Comi has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 157 and

1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 157(b). Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1408 and 1409.
BACKGROUND

2.

On this date (the "Petition Date"), each of the Debtors filed a voluntary petition

for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors continue to manage and operate their business as debtors in possession pursuant to 1107 and 1108 of the Banktuptcy Code. 3.
An official committee of unsecured creditors has not been appointed in these

Chapter 11 cases. Further, no trustee or examiner has been requested or appointed in any of these Chapter 11 cases.

4.

The background facts for these cases are stated in the Declaration of Rebecca

Irish in Support of the Debtors' Chapter 11 Petitions and First Day Pleadings (the "Irish Declaration"), f:tled contemporaneously herewith and incorporated herein by reference.
RELIEF REQUESTED AND BASIS THEREFOR

5.

By this Motion, Crdentia requests the joint administration of their Chapter 11

cases for procedural purposes only. Section 105 provides in relevant part that, "the court may issue any order, process, or judgment that is necessary or appropriate to cany out the provisions of this title." 11 U.S.C. 105(a). Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b) provides in relevant part that: If a joint petition or two or more petitions are pending in the same cou1i by or against a debtor and an affiliate, the court may order a joint administration of the estates. 11 U.S.C. 105(b). 6. Code. The Debtors are "affiliates" as that term is defined in 101(2) of the Bankruptcy

The issues addressed in these bankmptcy cases will be related and overlapping.

Accordingly, this Court may grant the relief requested. 7. Further, Local Rule 1015-1 provides, in relevant part, as follows:

An order of joint administration may be entered upon the filing of a motion for joint administration . . . supported by an affidavit, declaration or verification, which establishes that the joint administration of two or more cases pending in this Comi under title 11 is wananted and will ease the administrative burden for the Court and the pmiies.

Del. Bankr. L.R. 10 15-1. 8. Pursuant to Local Rule 1015-1, the Debtors have filed the Irish Declaration,

which establishes that joint administration of the Debtors' respective estates is wmranted and will ease the administrative burden for this Comi and the pmiies.

9.

Joint administration of these cases will obviate the need for duplicative notices,

motions, applications, hearings, and orders, and will therefore save considerable time and expense for the Debtors and their estates.
10.

Joint administration will not g1ve nse to any conflict of interest among the

Debtors' estates. The rights of the Debtors' respective creditors will not be adversely affected by the proposed joint administration because the Debtors will continue as separate and distinct legal entities and will continue to maintain their books and records in the same manner as they were maintained prepetition. Moreover, each creditor may file its claim against a particular estate. The interests of all creditors will be enhanced by the reduction in costs resulting from joint administration. The Comt also will be relieved of the burden of scheduling duplicative hearings, entering duplicative orders and maintaining redundant dockets. Finally, supervision of the

administrative aspects of these Chapter II cases by the Office of the United States Trustee will be simplified. II. Joint administration of the above-captioned cases is in the Debtors' best interests,

as well as those of their respective estates, creditors, and other parties in interest.
12.

Moreover, because this Motion requests only the administrative consolidation,

and not substantive consolidation of these estates, joint administration will not adversely affect creditors' rights. 13. purposes only: (a) (b) one disclosure statement and plan of reorganization may be (but is not required to be) filed for each of the Debtors' cases by any plan proponent; hearings in these jointly administered cases shall be joint hearings unless otherwise specified; The Debtors propose that the following activities be joined for administrative

(c)

one consolidated docket, one creditor matrix, and one Master Service List shall be maintained by the Debtors and kept by the Clerk, with separate claims registers for each of the Debtors' cases; and in the event these cases are assigned to separate judges, all cases should be transfe1red to the judge who has the lowest-numbered case.

(d)

14.

The Debtors further request that the Comt modify the caption of the cases to

reflect the joint administration as follows:
