Ml. 1989) (Sonderby, J.) (“[I]t is highly unlikely that counsel could prove that the meal expenses were reasonably necessary for the proper representation of the debtor . . . If the attorney were not working on the case, he would still have to eat. Accordingly, the Court finds that, except in very limited circumstances, local meals are not reasonably necessary for the proper representation of the client.”). The attached expense entries contain charges for meals on November 12, 2019, in the amount of $49.92, and on December 12, 2019, the latter being lumped with a separate, allowable expense incurred on the same date, for a total amount of $42.44. In the absence of further information regarding the breakdown of the December-42, 2019 expenses, the court has disallowed half of those expenses, 17z., $21.22. yO) Dated: February 11, 2020 Spee ) | □ ° Timothy AvBarnes United States Bankruptcy Judge
