STIPULATION AND CONSENT ORDER RESOLVING U.S.TRUSTEE'S MOTION TO REQUIRE AMENDMENTS AND REVIEW FEES
The U.S.Trustee and Counsel for the Debtors have amply discussed the issues underlying the U.S.Trustee's motion (Document 24) to require amendments and review counsel fees, and the answer thereto (Document 26). The U.S.Trustee's motion arose out of the findings of a random case audit.
In response to the U.S.Trustee's motion, Debtors have already filed amended schedules (Doc. 25), satisfying the U.S.Trustee's motion in part.
Counsel now agrees to reinstruct his staff on the importance in each case to inquire of potential debtor clients on their possession of bank accounts and to properly schedule same or disclose them on the Statement of Financial Affairs if said accounts have been closed.
He has also agreed to a partial refund of fees, in an amount agreed as between counsel and the U.S.Trustee.
The U.S.Trustee believes these terms resolve the motion now pending, and that approval of this Stipulation is requested by the undersigned./s /J.Michael Broumas (by permission) /s/Edmund A. Goldberg
