Chapter 7 Trustee's Report of No Distribution: I, Thomas H Casey (TR), having been appointed trustee of the estate of the above-named debtor(s), report I collected funds totaling $17,469.53. After making diligent inquiry into the financial affairs of the debtor(s) and the location of the property belonging to the estate, I have determined that there are insufficient assets to administer. All funds have been returned. All bank statements and canceled checks, if any, have been submitted to the United States Trustee. The bank statements reflect a final zero balance and no other funds or assets of the estate remain in my custody. Pursuant to Fed R Bank P 5009, I hereby certify that the estate of the above-named debtor(s) has been fully administered. I request that I be discharged from any further duties as trustee. Key information about this case as reported in schedules filed by the debtor(s) or otherwise found in the case record: This case was pending for 23 months. Assets Abandoned (without deducting any secured claims): $ 15770186.00, Assets Exempt: Not Available, Claims Scheduled: $ 12902500.00, Claims Asserted: Not Applicable, Claims scheduled to be discharged without payment (without deducting the value of collateral or debts excepted from discharge): $ 12902500.00,.
