Please review the recommendations before the hearing. I would like to resolve as many outstanding issues as possible in advance. If you have only a few cases on the docket, please email me your response to the recommendation for each case.

Deadline for Resolutions: My cutoff for advising the Court of agreed resolutions for inclusion on the announcement lists is 4:00 p.m. on the Monday preceding the hearing. Please provide any agreed resolutions by that deadline.

Explanation of Recommendation Codes:

• “Call” – I expect the Court to call the case unless we reach a different agreement before the hearing.
• “OconMod” – I believe the outstanding issues can be resolved through an agreed Order Modifying and Confirming.

Staffing Update: Please note that Karin’s last day with my office was October 15. Until further notice, please direct communications regarding confirmation matters to me, and EXPECT DELAYS.

Please review the recommendations and the Objections, if any. If you have a simple matter, can agree to the Trustee recommendation, or just a few cases on the docket, please send me an email as soon as you can with your response to the recommendation. After the deadline has passed, I will upload the “Announce” lists to the Court and to this Blog. Cases will be either ready to Confirm, OconMod, Continue or Call.

*** PLEASE REMEMBER – Copies of the Debtors most recently filed income tax returns are due to me at least 7 days before the 341 hearing, AND pursuant to 11 USC 1308 the debtors previous four years of tax returns must be FILED WITH THE TAXING AUTHORITY not later than the day before the 341 hearing. The Trustee can extend that deadline, or the Debtor can request more time from the Court before the deadline expires, but if its not extended the Code says the case SHALL BE DISMISSED pursuant to 11 USC 1307(e).

“Call” means the Court will call the case unless a different agreement is reached before the deadline. “OconMod” means that I believe we can circulate an agreed Order.
