Government Shutdown

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court remains open during the U.S. Government shutdown. Your bankruptcy case will proceed as normal and you should continue to pay all required fees, meet deadlines, and attend hearings, unless specifically notified by the Court otherwise. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of your case or denial of requested relief.
