Effective September 1, 2019, individuals with a hearing in the Trenton Vicinage of the United States Bankruptcy Court requiring rescheduling to a different time on the same day (marked “Ready Hold”) must submit a Ready Hold Request Form via the Trustee’s Online Document Filing System (www.13documents.com) no later than three (3) days prior to the hearing date. The Trustee’s staff will review the case and docket a Determination of Ready Hold Request – similar to the Determination of Adjournment Request.

It is your responsibility to review the PACER docket to ascertain whether or not the request has been approved.

The Ready Hold Request Form is a fillable PDF form located HERE.

NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE IS ONLY REQUIRED FOR HEARINGS SCHEDULED IN TRENTON.

We are excited to announce our updated Calendar Disposition List!

Besides the obvious formatting changes, you will find a box at the top right labeled ‘FILTER RESULTS’. This box will filter (not sort) the list by what’s typed in it. For example, if you type a case number (including the dash) in the box, you will see only the matters that are on the calendar for that case. Similarly, if you type a debtor attorney’s last name, you will only that attorney’s matters on the calendar. You will also notice that the matters load the first 50 on the calendar. You can use the drop-down menu at the top left of the list to load more, or all, matters, or you can use the page numbers at the bottom of the list to scroll the the hearings, page-by-page.

The data that displays has not changed; however, in the coming weeks you will notice that the debtor’s payment information will appear at the top of the trustee notes box. We will display that the debtor has made ‘x of y payments’, as well as the amount in arrears, if any.

If you have any questions about, issues with, or suggestions for the Calendar Disposition List, send an email to webadmin @ russotrustee.com

Please note that, from time to time, in addition to payment-related information, you may receive an electronic case-related communication from either the Trustee or the National Data Center (NDC).  These will be sent from email addresses ending with either @ndc.org or @russotrustee.com, and may include either attachments or links to documents.
