U. S. Trustee's Amended Statement of Presumed Abuse

General Information

If the US Trustee previously filed a statement indicating that a case is considered to be an abuse but later wishes to correct that statement, the US Trustee will file an Amended Statement. This effectively withdraws their previous statement of abuse.

Note that this is different from the situation where the US Trustee still believes there is abuse but decides that no action is required. In such an instance, they can file either a Statement of Declination (which does not require a PDF to be attached), or a USTR's Statement of Non-Filing of Motion to Dismiss or Convert if they wish to attach a PDF.

Filing Requirements

No PDF is required to be attached.
