​Judge Randon Courtroom Procedure

November 29, 2017

As many of you may know, Judge Randon has altered his procedure for confirmation adjournments.  Please carefully review the information below for details.  If you should have any questions regarding the new procedure, please feel free to send your questions by email directly to Krispen Carroll – krispen@det13ksc.com.

120 Day Confirmation Adjournments - effective 10/11/17

All Pre-Confirmation cases requiring adjournments will be given dates of at least 120 days from the date of the original hearing.  After all necessary amendments and document submission to address trustee and creditor issues have been completed, debtor attorneys should email the assigned legal assistant with a proposed OCP requesting the case be reviewed for confirmation prior to the scheduled hearing date.  Upon receipt and review of an OCP where all outstanding creditor and trustee issues have been resolved, the Trustee will submit the case for confirmation prior to the adjourned hearing date.   
 
Please note that such email should be sent only after expiration of any notice periods and the signature of any objecting creditors have been obtained.  Requests for confirmation should not accompany a production of documents to the Trustee.  The normal time for review of documents and the filing of any supplemental objections should have passed prior to requesting a confirmation review.  Payment history and funding requirements for early confirmation review are unchanged.  Please include a plan calculation with the OCP to reflect any changes in payments or creditor treatment included in the OCP.   

During the 120 days the Trustee’s office will be monitoring payments and reviewing documents received, but will not be pursuing confirmation absent a request from debtor counsel.  Responses to requests for early confirmation can be expected to be received within 14 days of receipt.  If the Trustee, debtor and objecting parties are in agreement a legal issue requires determination prior to the adjourned hearing date, the matter may be set for an earlier date on the contested call by stipulation.
