Adjournment of 341(a) Hearing Policy:
• Requests for adjournment of the 341(a) Hearing must be made no later than 2:00 p.m. on the
Thursday prior to the scheduled date.
• Adjournment requests will not be granted unless debtor has provided this office with a copy of
his or her most recently filed Federal Tax Return in compliance with 11 U.S.C. 521(e)(2).
• In addition, debtor must provide this office with a certification indicating whether or not all tax
returns for all taxable periods ending during the 4-year period prior to the petition date have been
filed (11 U.S.C. 1308). A form certification can be found on our web-site. If the required tax returns
have not been filed, debtor will be required to enter into a Consent Order setting forth a deadline to
file same as a condition of the adjournment.
• If debtor fails to appear at the scheduled 341(a) Hearing, the Trustee will seek dismissal of the
case and will not adjourn the hearing unless the debtor can demonstrate that there was an
emergency, which prevented him or her from attending on the scheduled date. In addition, the
adjournment will not be granted unless debtor has provided this office with a copy of his or her most
recently filed Federal Tax Return in compliance with 11 U.S.C. 521(e)(2). Finally, as a condition of
the adjournment, debtor must provide this office with the certification, as mentioned above, within 5
days of the missed hearing date. Again, if the required tax returns have not been filed, debtor will be
required to enter into a Consent Order setting forth a deadline to file same.
