Comment from Tom Springer

Committee Member and Chapter 7 Panel Trustee Thomas Springer writes:

Ken Gardner, Chief Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, informed me that a large of number of post-October 17 filings were pro-se, meaning that more than likley a wave of dismissal motions will follow based on the filer's non-compliance with the new Code. Another consequence would be a spate of appearances by Attorneys on already filed cases.

Thanks for the tip, Tom.
