SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — A federal judge says he will decide by Monday whether to void the bankruptcy sale of the state's oldest ethanol plant in South Bend and allow another auction to proceed.

WSBT-TV reports (http://bit.ly/Xt2hjD ) U.S. District Judge Robert Miller listened Thursday to arguments about what should be done about the ethanol plant.

A joint venture bought the New Energy Corp. plant at auction in January for $2.5 million. Court documents say the sale was finalized Monday. One company has the rights to the real estate and the other owns the plant's equipment.

But Houston-based Natural Chem is asking Miller to reverse the bankruptcy sale and order a second auction because it claims the new owners bought it illegally. Another bidder also is interested in buying the plant.
