US Trustee has exactly 10 days from date of 341 meeting?

Hello folks, thanks for all of your help. I would like to know this also. Its my understanding that the US Trustee must get involved with the case within 10 days after the 341 meeting? If the US Trustee does get involved, how would you know by looking in Pacer? Thanks for your help.

Where did you hear that?

It may depend on what context you mean by "involvment", but for a dismissal or conversion under rule 707(b) (i.e. abuse), the US Trustee has 60 days from the date of the first scheduled 341 meeting to file their motion. (Rule 1017(e) Federal Rules of BK Procedure)

Hello folks, thanks for all of your great help. My 10 days since my 341 meeting passed a few days ago without any added statements or history in pacer. Does this mean that the US Trustee passed on my case? Thanks for your help.

HHM,
On a side note, in my district the judge made a ruling that takes a very strict interpretation of the deadline of 60 days from the date of the first scheduled 341 meeting. Even if you have several continuances and thus your actual hearing doesn't start until after the 60 days, and then gets continued, the Trustee is out of time.

If something comes up in the hearing that causes the Trustee to want to file for dismissal, he doesn't have the authority to after 60 days from the first scheduled 341 meeting. Although, I am sure the processes they have to reopen and take a discharge away if obtained fraudulantly still apply.

Hello folks, thanks for all of your great help.

I had my 341 on 11/02/07 so this means that is the US Trustee was getting involved to do an audit, then something would of appeared in Pacer by 11/12/07? What can cause the US Trustee to get involved in my case at this point? Thanks for all of your great and fantastic help.
