UNITED S TATES B ANKRUPTCY COURT
FOR T HE E ASTERN DISTRICT O F PENNSYLVANIA
In re 	: 	Chapter 13
:
KEVIN HARTZAG, 	: 	Bankruptcy No. 07-13250DWS
:
Debtor. 	:
ORDER
AND NOW, this 31st day of July 2007 Debtor’s counsel Michael Kutzer, Esquire
(“Kutzer”) having failed to file the Disclosure of Attorney Compensation (“Disclosure”)
notwithstanding notice of that deficiency provided on June 24, 2007 and a filing extension
to comply until July 5, 2007;
And while documentary deficiencies require dismissal of the case, to do so would
prejudice the Debtor who has no complicity for Kutzer’s failure;
And the Disclosure being a document necessary for the Court to monitor the
appropriateness of the attorney’s charging of fees for his services;
And an examination of Kutzer’s filings since June 4, 2007 indicates that he has
either failed to file or has sought extensions to file the Disclosure in 27 of the 32 cases he has
filed during this period;
It is hereby ORDERED that Kutzer shall forthwith file the Disclosure and shall
appear and show cause on August 13, 2007 at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom #3 why he failed to
do so in a timely manner. Kutzer shall also explain why he has failed to file the Disclosure

In re Kevin Hartzag - Bankruptcy No. 07-13250DWS
1 In none of these cases was an extension sought, not is there really a basis to need an
extension to file a Rule 2016 disclosure.
