Dear Colleagues!
Judge Tighe shall be conducting a Brown Bag Seminar on the topic of Self Represented Debtors. Judge Tighe is asking for cdcbaa’s participation in providing guidance and input to be able to forewarn potential debtors in the risks of attempting to filing their own cases and when it is appropriate to seek out the guidance of an attorney. Please mark your calendars for January 9th @ 12:00 in the Roybal Federal Building.
KEITH HIGGINBOTHAM 2012 cdcbaa President
There is a new procedure for getting a Disclosure Statement hearing from Judge Neiter: You must first file the DS with the hearing date slot blank or “TBD by Court.” When the Court receives the Judge’s Copy of the DS, Ms. Jones will call you to give you a hearing date. Apparently, attorneys were calling to get hearing dates prior to filing their DS (previous procedure) and then would not serve the Court with a copy of the DS.
