Below is a link to an encrypted pdf file with my case recommendations, sorted in attorney order, for the Topeka Chapter 13 Confirmation Hearings scheduled for 11:00 am on Wednesday, April 24, 2024. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FILE IS PASSWORD PROTECTED. THE PASSWORD NEEDED TO OPEN THE FILE WILL BE PROVIDED BY SEPARATE EMAIL.

My Cutoff to advise the Court of Resolutions will be 4:00 pm on the Monday before the Docket.

Please review the recommendations. I would like to resolve all of the cases that can be resolved prior to the hearing. If you only have a few cases on the docket, please email me with your response to the recommendation.

If there is uncertainty over an issue or recommendation, please also review the objection I have filed in the case. When appropriate I try to include sufficient detail in my lengthy objections so that the issues can be understood and addressed.

“Call” means the Court will call the case unless a different agreement is reached. “OconMod” means that I think we can circulate an agreed Order Modifying and Confirming.
