Court/Clerk's Office Practice Tips About Our Judge US Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of
New York Petition and Schedules: Do not file a hard copy with the Court. A hard copy MUST be filed with the Trustee appointed in the case. Failure to serve the Trustee may result in the adjournment of the 342 Meeting. Address of Debtor: if street and mailing address differ, enter the mailing address on ECF. Credit Counseling: A certificate from an approved nonprofit budget and credit counseling agency must be filed with the petition or an application for an extension of time due to exigent circumstances. Form B22A Means Test: File as a separate document. DO NOT file as part of the petition and schedules. Form B21 Statement of Social Security Number: DO NOT file as part of the petition and schedules. When it is necessary to file an amendment to the debtor's SS#, an amended B-21 must be filed with the court. This enables the clerk's office to amend our internal records. The amended B21 is filed in a secure file and is not available to the public. If an individual's SS# must be included in a pleading, only the last four digits of the number should be used. Schedules D, E, F: Use the last four digits of financial accounts. Schedule I: Only the initials and age of minor children should be disclosed. Signature of Debtor/s: Debtor's name must be on the filed ECF document and any amendments thereafter. Corporation Ownership Statement:
must be filed by a debtor corporation filing a case and any corporate
plaintiff filing a complaint to initiate an adversary proceeding. |
