Garrity Jr. of Federal Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan appointed Raymond L. Shapiro as the mediator after denying Barney's request on Friday to offer a potential bidder $10 million in breakup fees and expenses. A breakup fee is given when a party makes an offer that is accepted but then is later outbid.
