In re Jahed
Mar

2011
Ruling
Court declined to sanction debtor's former counsel for failure to appear at hearing on debtor's pro se motion for extension of time to obtain new counsel.
Procedural posture
Debtor's counsel was ordered to show cause why sanctions including possible suspension from practice should not be imposed for his failure to appear at a hearing on debtor's motion to extend time to "pursue other legal counsel." The court also considered issues raised by the U.S. Trustee (UST) as to whether the compensation paid to counsel was reasonable per 11 U.S.C.S. § 329(a) and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2016(b).
