TC Global, Inc., doing business as Tullys Coffee ("Debtor"), debtor-in-possession herein, moves the Court for entry of the Case Management Order filed herewith ("Case Management Order"). Within seven (7) business days of its entry, the Case Management Order and a prefilled Request for Special Notice would be served on all parties listed on the official mailing matrix and the Debtor's equity holders.

There are nearly 6,000 creditors, equity holders, and other parties in interest in this case. Under the circumstances, the cost of copying and mailing even a simple notice to all parties on the mailing matrix will be significant. On the other hand, common experience suggests that only a small percentage of creditors will likely undertake any participatory role in this case. Therefore, mailing each notice in this case to each creditor will not be the best use of the limited estate resources. The Debtor believes it appropriate and in the best interest of the estate to enter a Case Management Order limiting notice of these proceedings to the following: a. b. c. d. e. f. g. the Debtors professionals; the Office of the U.S. Trustee; the United States Attorneys Office; the State of Washington, Bankruptcy and Collections Unit; the top 20 unsecured creditors; all secured parties and known lien holders; counsel for the Unsecured Creditors Committee or, if none has been appointed, the members of the Committee; h. parties affirmatively indicating a desire to receive such notice by the filing of a request for Special Notice; and i. parties against whom relief is being sought in a particular proceeding.

In order to improve the flow of information and access to bankruptcy related documents, the Debtor has set up a toll-free number, (866) 989-3039, and a website at www.omnimgt.com/TullysCoffee, at which parties will have access to up-to-date filed materials, forms (including Request for Special Notice), and basic information regarding the case.

Within seven (7) business days following the Court's approval of this motion, notice of entry of the Case Management Order and a prefilled copy of a Request for Special Notice would be sent to all parties listed on the official mailing matrix and the Debtor's equity holders, giving all parties in interest an opportunity to easily submit a Request for Special Notice so as to receive all notices in the case thereafter. A copy of the form Request for Special Notice will also be available on the Debtor's website. Accordingly, the Debtor requests entry of the Case Management Order submitted herewith.
