DETROIT (AP) — The judge handling Detroit's Chapter 9 bankruptcy case has appointed Detroit chief federal judge Gerald Rosen as a mediator in the case.
Rosen said in a statement Tuesday that his aim is to bring those involved in the bankruptcy case together "in a neutral forum, away from the glare of the spotlight" and resolve as many disputes as possible. He says he'll work with a small team of other mediators.
The order from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes says "proceedings, discussions, negotiation and writings" from mediation will be confidential.
