This matter is before the court following petition preparer T & S Paralegal Services’ failure
to abide by orders of the court dated December 4, 2009 and January 8, 2010. On December 4, 2009
the court issued an order reducing the petition preparer’s fees to $125.00 and requiring the petition
preparer to disgorge any amount in excess of $125.00 to the debtor. The petition preparer has not
provided proof of this disgorgement to the court. On January 8, 2010, the court entered a show cause
order against T&S Paralegal Services. No representative of T & S Paralegal Services appeared at the
hearing or took other action as directed in the order.

The Court hereby finds T & S Paralegal Services to be in contempt of court for failing to
obey a Court order. T & S Paralegal Services immediately shall return all fees charged in excess of
$125 to the debtor. A sanction of $5.00 per day shall accrue from the date of this order for each day
proof of disgorgement is not provided. This sanction shall be payable to the Clerk, United States
Bankruptcy Court, 201 Cleveland Ave., SW, Canton, OH 44702.
