How to withdraw from a Chapter 7 case, or what I'm doing on Saturday night
I’m doing some research on what the legal requirements are to withdraw from a chapter 7 case.
What’s surprising to me is how few cases there are on the subject in the Ninth Circuit. Generally, Model Rule 1.16 governs attorney withdrawal. Oddly however, there are only three cases in the Ninth Circuit citing to Rule 1.16 from cases arising out of bankruptcy courts. Maybe the rules related to attorney withdrawal in bankruptcy predate Rule 1.16, but still… I’m kind of surprised.
UPDATE: I managed to find some motions that some successful motions in Western Washington. Given the complexity and importance of getting this right, I’m thinking about making this one of the first “how-tos.”
