The cover sheet and the information contained on it do not replace or supplement the filing and service of pleadings or other papers as required by law, the Bankruptcy Rules, or the local rules of court. This form is required for use by the Clerk of the Court to initiate the docket sheet and to prepare necessary indices and statistical records. A separate cover sheet must be submitted to the Clerk of the Court for each complaint filed. The form is largely self explanatory. Parties: Enter the names of the parties to the adversary proceeding exactly as they appear on the complaint. Give the names and addresses of the attorneys, if known. Following the heading "Party," check the appropriate box indicating whether the United States is a party named in the complaint. If the plaintiff is pro se, that is, not represented by an attorney, check the box labeled "no attorney." Cause of Action: Enter a brief description of the cause of action including all federal statutes involved, for example: "Complaint seeking damages for failure to disclose information, Consumer Credit Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. ' 1601 et seq.," or "Complaint by trustee to avoid a transfer of property by the debtor, 11 U.S.C. ' 544." Nature of Suit: Place an "X" in the appropriate box. Only one box should be checked. If the cause fits more than one category or suit, select the most definitive. Origin of Proceedings: Check the appropriate box to indicate the origin of the case: 1. 2. 4. 5. Original Proceeding Removed from a State or District Court Reinstated or Reopened. Transferred from Another Bankruptcy Court Demand: Enter the dollar amount demanded in the complaint in thousands of dollars. If the amount is less than $1,000 enter "0001", for $1,000-9,999 enter "1", for $10,000-99,999 enter "10", for $100,000-999,999 enter "100", for $1,000,000-9,999,999 enter "1000," for more than $10,000,000 enter "9999", for no monetary demand, enter "XXXX". If the plaintiff is seeking non-monetary relief, state the relief sought, such as injunction or foreclosure of a mortgage. Bankruptcy Case In Which This Adversary Proceeding Arises: Enter the name of the debtor and the docket number of the bankruptcy case from which the proceeding now being filed arose. Beneath, enter the district and divisional office where the case was filed, and the name of the presiding judge. Related Adversary Proceedings: Enter the names of the parties and the six digit adversary proceeding number from any adversary proceeding concerning the same two parties or the same property currently pending in any bankruptcy court. On the next line, enter the district where the related case is pending and the name of the presiding judge. Filing Fee (check one box): The fee must be paid upon filing unless the plaintiff meets one of the following exceptions: (1) If the plaintiff is the United States government or the debtor, then the fee is not required; (2) If the plaintiff is the trustee or a debtor in possession, and there are no liquid funds in the estate, then the filing fee may be deferred until there are funds in the estate. In the event no funds are ever recovered for the estate, there will be no fee. There is no fee for adding a party after the adversary proceeding has commenced. Signature: This cover sheet must be signed by the attorney of record in the box on the right of the last line of the form. If the plaintiff is represented by a law firm, a member of the firm must sign. If the plaintiff is pro se, that is, not represented by an attorney, the plaintiff must sign. The name of the signatory must be printed in the box to the left of the signature. The date of the signing must be indicated in the box on the far left of the last line. 2000 (C) American LegalNet, Inc.
