  • If the Court has already entered an Order in No Asset Case or a Notation of Abandonment, these cannot be withdrawn by the Trustee since they were entered by the Court, not filed by the Trustee. In this circumstance, the Trustee must file a Motion for Relief from Order in No Asset Case or Notation of Abandonment pursuant to FRBP 9024 along with a 14-day objection notice.
  • To withdraw a second Report of No Distribution filed on a case, contact the Clerk's office before filing.
