(24-30008)

United States Bankruptcy Court, S.D. Texas

Judge Jeffrey P. Norman

JAN 1, 2024 | REPUBLISHED BY LIT: JAN 18, 2024
JAN 18, 2024

Above is the date LIT Last updated this article.

State Bar of Texas ain’t showin’ any of the 3 lawyers from Lee Law Firm in Hurst, Texas havin’ permissions to file in SDTX as at today’s date.  Compare with the show cause order for the same deficiency in Hugh Shannonhouse’s recent BK Petition filed by lawyer Troy J. Wilson.

Best Ethics Rant went to Judge Jeffrey Norman of the Western District of Louisiana, now sitting in the Southern District of Texas.

His In re Banks, 2018 WL 735351 (Bankr. W.D. La. 2018) opinion said that:

“This case is an unfortunate tale of attorney delay, promises to a client made by counsel but not kept, deception, and professional negligence. They said that the lesson is that judges have a lot on their dockets.  They don’t want to spend pages and pages calling someone out.  Make good choices (followed by a clip from Pitch Perfect).”

CAME BEFORE THE COURT Debtor’s Motion, and the Court finds that good cause exists to grant the Motion.

It is, therefore,

ORDERED that the Debtor herein shall have until 1/29/2024, to file his Chapter 13 Schedules, Statement of Affairs, and Chapter 13 Plan.

Signed

JEFFREY P. NORMAN
US BANKRUPTCY JUDGE

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF THIS COURT:

COMES NOW Debtor, Javier Garcia requests an order extending the deadlines to file Chapter 13 Schedules, Statement of Affairs, Chapter 13 Plan, and new case deficiencies pursuant to L.B.R. 1007.1(a) and F.R.B.P 3015 and would show the Court as follows:

1.                  This Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105 and 28 U.S.C. §1334. This matter constitutes a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §157(b).

2.                  Debtor filed his petition in bankruptcy under Chapter 24-30008-JPN-13 on 01/01/2024

3.                  Chapter 13 Schedules, Statement of Affairs, and Chapter 13 Plan are due 1/16/2024.

4.                  Debtor will need an additional fourteen (14) days, until 1/30/2024, to prepare the Schedules, Statement of Affairs, Chapter 13 Plan, and new case deficiencies because of the need to gather information.

Debtor’s other obligations have resulted in a delay in providing his Attorney information necessary to produce accurate Chapter13 Schedules, Statement of Affairs, Chapter 13 Plan, and new case deficiencies.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Debtor Javier Garcia respectfully requests the Court to grant an extension of fourteen (14) days, until 1/30/2024, for Debtor to file his Chapter 13 Schedules, Statement of Affairs, Chapter 13 Plan, and new case deficiencies and for such other relief the Court may grant.

Dated: January 16, 2024

Respectfully Submitted,
