All plans are subject to review by an Ohio bankruptcy trustee. The duties of the trustee include reviewing
cases for legal compliance, recommending confirmation, modification, conversion or dismissal, and accounting for
all proceeds received from the plan.
| 11 U.S.C. §1302(a): "If the United States trustee appoints an individual under section
586(b) of title 28 to serve as standing trustee in cases under this chapter and if such individual qualifies under section
322 of this title, then such individual shall serve as trustee in the case. Otherwise, the United States trustee
shall appoint one disinterested person to serve as trustee in the case or the United States trustee may serve
as a trustee in the case." |
Most Courts across the county, including Ohio bankruptcy Courts, require all cases to be filed
electronically. Electronic filing includes online submission and filing by diskette at the clerk's office. On
03-15-04 the Ohio Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District issued the following order: "Notice to Attorneys
Concerning Paper Filings: Any Attorney wishing to file a new petition or other document on paper, under
circumstances that are not governed by one of the exceptions to mandatory electronic case filing set forth in
Amended General Order 03-1, shall initially file a motion for leave to file on paper. The motion, which may be
filed via the mail or over the counter, shall be accompanied by an affidavit and proposed order. The affidavit
shall set forth the specific reasons that the filing cannot be made electronically."
