Placing the final nail in the coffin for Sacks Weston’s bid to ward off creditors via bankruptcy, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Patricia Mayer of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania agreed to dismiss the firm’s Chapter 11 petition Thursday.

Her opinion, released shortly after Sacks Weston withdrew its opposition to dismissal of the proceedings, expresses skepticism that the firm would have been able to survive whether or not the bankruptcy continued.
