How are cases automatically dismissed by the clerk’s office pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 521(i)(2)?
Procedures for dismissal are determined locally. In many districts, dismissals will require no order, but in other districts an order will be entered. Some courts have indicated that a hearing will be noticed in each case. Regardless of the procedure employed in a district, the trustee should be aware of the action necessary to protect asset cases from being automatically dismissed.
