United States Bankruptcy Court: Southern District of Florida Date case filed for chapter: 7 4/5/22

Case number: 22−12652−AJC

Notice of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Case −− No Proof of Claim Deadline

For the debtors listed above, a case has been filed under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.This notice has important

information about the case for creditors, debtors, and trustees, including information about the meeting of creditors

and deadlines. Read both pages carefully.

The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not

take action to collect debts from the debtors or the debtors' property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot

sue, garnish wages, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtors. Creditors cannot

demand repayment from debtors by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and

punitive damages and attorney's fees. Under certain circumstances, the stay may be limited to 30 days or not exist at all,

although debtors can ask the court to extend or impose a stay. The debtors are seeking a discharge. Creditors who assert that

the debtors are not entitled to a discharge of any debts or who want to have a particular debt excepted from discharge may be

required to file a complaint in the bankruptcy clerk's office within the deadlines specified in this notice. (See box 9)

You may want to consult an attorney to protect your rights. The bankruptcy clerk's office staff cannot give legal advice.

To help creditors correctly identify debtors, debtors must submit full Social Security or Individual Taxpayer

Identification Numbers, which may appear on a version of this notice. However, the full numbers must not appear on

any document filed with the court. Do not file this notice with any proof of claim or other filing in the case. Do not

include more than the last four digits of a Social Security or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number in any

document, including attachments, that you file with the court.

WARNING TO DEBTOR: WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE OR HEARING THE COURT MAY DISMISS YOUR CASE FOR FAILURE TO TIMELY PAY

FILING FEE INSTALLMENTS, FAILURE TO APPEAR AT THE MEETING OF CREDITORS OR FAILURE TO TIMELY FILE REQUIRED SCHEDULES,

STATEMENTS OR LISTS, AND FOR FAILURE TO FILE PRE−BANKRUPTCY CERTIFICATION OF CREDIT COUNSELING OR FILE WAGE

DOCUMENTATION.

have the right to file a motion to dismiss the

case under 11 U.S.C. § 707(b). Debtors may

rebut the presumption by showing special

circumstances.

The presumption of abuse does not arise.

9. Deadlines

The bankruptcy clerk's office must receive

these documents and any required filing fee by

the following deadlines. Writing a letter to the

court or judge is not sufficient.

A discharge of debtor will not be issued until

the Official Bankruptcy Form "Certification

About a Financial Management Course" is filed

by the debtor (unless the course provider filed

a certificate of completion of the financial

management course on behalf of the debtor).

File by the deadline to object to discharge or

to challenge whether certain debts are

dischargeable:

You must file a complaint:

 if you assert that the debtor is not entitled to

 receive a discharge of any debts under any of the

 subdivisions of 11 U.S.C. § 727(a)(2) through (7),

 or

 if you want to have a debt excepted from discharge

 under 11 U.S.C § 523(a)(2), (4) or (6).

You must file a motion if you assert that

 the discharge should be denied under § 727(a)(8)

 or (9).

Filing Deadline: 7/5/22

Deadline to object to exemptions:

The law permits debtors to keep certain property as

exempt. Fully exempt property will not be sold and

distributed to creditors. Debtors must file a list of property

claimed as exempt. If you believe that the law does not

authorize an exemption that the debtors claim, you may

file an objection. The bankruptcy clerk's office must

receive the objection by the deadline to object to

exemptions.

Filing Deadline: 30 days after the

conclusion of the meeting of creditors, or

within 30 days of any amendment to the list

of supplemental schedules, unless as

otherwise provided under Bankruptcy Rule

1019(2)(B) and Local Rule 4003−1(B) for

converted cases.

10. Abandonment of Property by

Trustee, Deadline to Object to

Trustee's Report

Pursuant to Local Rule 6007−1(A), the trustee will abandon at the meeting of creditors

all property that the trustee has determined is of no value to the estate and file a report

within two business days. Objections to the report must be filed within 14 days of the

meeting.

11. Proof of Claim No property appears to be available to pay creditors. Therefore, please do not file a

proof of claim now. If it later appears that assets are available to pay creditors, the clerk

will send you another notice telling you that you may file a proof of claim and stating the

deadline. If this case is converted from chapter 13, under Local Rules 1019−1(E) and

3002−1(A) it has been designated as a no asset case at this time.

12. Creditors with a Foreign

Address

questions about your rights in this case.
