Below is an encrypted pdf file with my case recommendations for the Wichita Chapter 13 Confirmation Hearings scheduled for 2:30 pm on Thursday, July 11, 2024.

Please review the recommendations.  I will be calling to discuss reconciliation of my objections and to get cases confirmed. If you have a simple matter, or just a few cases on the docket, please feel free to send me an email. I will be out of the office on Friday, July 5, but will be checking my email from time to time. 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 objections so that the issues can be understood and addressed.

My Cutoff to advise the Court of Resolutions before the docket will be Tuesday at Noon. After the deadline for submission of resolutions to the Court has passed, I will upload the announce lists to this Blog. Cases will be either ready to Confirm, OconMod, Continue or Call. The lists should be up here by Wednesday morning.

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

Greetings.

As has been widely discussed, the UST has mandated a change in the Section 341 Hearing Format from Telephonic, to ZOOM Video.  My version of “Video Killed the Radio Star” kicks off with the 9:30am docket on June 14, 2024.  My plan this week is to have the Zoom Meeting Room up a little bit before 5pm on Monday (6/3) and Wednesday (6/5) to test system setup and functionality.  If you want to, you can connect to the meeting and become familiar with what my version of this will look like and how it may, or may not, work.  If you are so inclined, prepare your favorite end of work day beverage and consider this a Happy Hour networking opportunity.  This should be a lot like every other Zoom meeting you have ever done.  When you connect, you should be placed in the Waiting Room where an entertaining and informative video will play on a loop.  My plan is to admit into the meeting room all those in the waiting room at once, much like when participants arrived for their in person 341 meetings and the trustee was late with the key to the door.  It will be just me managing all aspects of the Zoom meeting. Solo. Alone.  So we will see how that goes.  If the opportunity arises, I will ATTEMPT to add an interpreter to the meeting to see if that task can be achieved.  Please do not invite DEBTORS to these practice sessions.  I am not planning a practice session for Debtors. This is just for the attorneys. Should be a short meeting.

Carl B. Davis
