This General Order establishes revisions to Clerk's Office procedures for the filing of creditor mailing matrices, schedules, and statements.
1) This order vacates General Order 2005-4 dated August 23, 2005.
2) Creditor Mailing Matrix. The accuracy and completeness of creditor mailing matrices are the shared responsibility of the debtor and debtor's attorney. The Court will rely on the creditor mailing matrix as submitted by the debtor and debtor's attorney. The creditor mailing matrix must be consistent with the schedules provided with the petition. Parties may review the Court's mailing matrix for any registered preferred addresses. If an incomplete or inaccurate mailing matrix is submitted, it is the debtor's responsibility to send notice of the meeting of creditors to the creditors not served by the Court, and then file a Certificate of Service with the Court.
3) Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1007, schedules and statements shall be filed with the petition or within fourteen (14) days of the filing of the petition. If required schedules and statements are not filed within fourteen (14) days, the case will be dismissed with prejudice barring refiling of a petition for 180 days. For more information on procedural matters counsel may contact the Clerk's Office or visit the Court's web site at www.gas.uscourts.gov. Dated this 23rd day of October, 2015.
