REASONS FOR GRANTING THE STAY
........................................................12
I. There Is A Reasonable Probability That This Court WillGrant
Certiorari.
 
....................................................................................12 A. This case presents important questions regardingthe jurisdiction of a bankruptcy court to grantinjunctive relief in favor of non-debtor parties...........................13B. The decision of the Second Circuit in this case maybe in conflict with the decision of the Third Circuitconcerning the jurisdiction of bankruptcy courts togrant injunctive relief in favor of non-debtorparties...........................................................................................15C. The judgment of the Second Circuit has so fardeparted from the accepted and usual course of  judicial proceedings (and the Second Circuit’ssanctioning of such a departure by the bankruptcycourt) so as to call for the exercise of this Court’ssupervisory power........................................................................16
II. There Is A Fair Prospect That This Court Will ConcludeThe Decision Below Is Erroneous.
.........................................................18 A. The Sale Order exceeds the bankruptcy court’s jurisdiction under Section 524(g) and violates thedue process rights of asbestos claimants....................................18B. The Bankruptcy Court Erred In Authorizing TheDebtors’ Sale Of Substantially All Of Its AssetsFree And Clear Of Claims And Interests BeyondThe Scope Of 11 U.S.C. §363(f)....................................................222
 
 C.
 
The Bankruptcy Court Erred in Approving a SaleTransaction that was in Fact a
Sub Rosa 
Plan of Reorganization.............................................................................27
III. There Is Likelihood That Irreparable Harm Will ResultFrom A Denial Of A Stay
