Trustee's Appointment Rejection

Last Updated: January 2019

Periodically, a Trustee will reject a case by electronically filing an Appointment Rejection  (this must be filed 7 days of case filing; otherwise Trustee should file Trustee's Resignation).  Note: This is a text entry...no document is required.
