On November 6, 2020, the bankruptcy court established April 15, 2021 as the proof of claim deadline in the Diocese of Syracuse bankruptcy case. More information regarding filing a proof of claim can be found on the FAQ page.

On November 3, 2020, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors’ (the “Committee”) filed a motion pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2004 requesting that the bankruptcy court order the Diocese of Syracuse to provide discovery relating to its assets, among other things. Since then, the bankruptcy court has “continued” the motion on several occasions, while the Committee and the Diocese of Syracuse work informally to facilitate the transfer to the Committee of documents the Committee is entitled to. These efforts have resulted in the Diocese of Syracuse producing thousands of pages of documents to the Committee.
