The Court has issued an en banc order regarding required review of claims by debtors’ attorneys. The order requires debtors’ attorneys to examine all claims within 21 days after the expiration of the non-governmental entity claims bar date. The order also requires that, if as part of the examination, a debtor’s attorney identifies a personal identifier that must be redacted to comply with Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9037, the attorney notifies the clerk by following the instructions provided by the clerk on the Court’s website. The en banc order also requires that chapter 7 and chapter 13 debtors’ attorneys submit revised Notice of Responsibilities forms that include the requirement to examine all claims and to notify the clerk if the attorney finds a personal identifier that must be redacted to comply with Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9037. The modified Notice of Responsibilities forms are posted in the Official Local Forms menu. 

As specified in the en banc order, the claims review responsibilities take effect for any claim filed on or after August 1, 2025, and the revised Notice of Responsibilities form must be filed for any chapter 7 or chapter 13 case commenced on or after August 1, 2025.
