UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF INDIANA FILING PROCEDURES FOR PARTIES NOT REPRESENTED BY AN ATTORNEY Motions, Notices, and Other Papers (“Pleadings”) Parties not represented by an attorney (“Pro Se”) may file Pleadings with the Court by one of the following methods: a. U.S. Mail or hand delivery to the front counter of the Bankruptcy Clerk’s Office at one of the following divisional locations: Evansville 352 Federal Building 101 Northwest Martin L. King Boulevard Evansville, IN 47708 Indianapolis 116 U.S. Courthouse 46 East Ohio Street Indianapolis, IN 46204 New Albany 110 U.S. Courthouse 121 West Spring Street New Albany, IN 47150 b. or the Court’s Pro Se Document Portal. New Bankruptcy Petitions The Pro Se Document Portal cannot be used to file a new bankruptcy petition. Pro Se parties seeking to file a new petition must do so by U.S. Mail or hand delivery to the front counter of the Bankruptcy Clerk’s Office at one of the divisional locations listed above. Pro Se individuals may use the Electronic Self-Representation ("eSR") platform to file a voluntary Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 petition without an attorney. In addition, Pro Se individuals submitting a new petition shall also file: • Official Form 121 – Statement About Your Social Security Numbers; and If the filing fee has not been submitted, either: • Official Form 103A – Application for Individuals to Pay the Filing Fee in Installments, or • Official Form 103B – Application to Have the Chapter 7 Filing Fee Waived. Requirements Applicable to All Pleadings 1. All Pleadings submitted by Pro Se parties shall be: a. signed by the filer and include the filer's current e-mail address and telephone number; and b. tendered by only of the methods described in the Pleadings section above (for example, a Pleading shall not be submitted by both U.S. Mail and the Pro Se Document Portal). 2. All filing fees due for Pleadings shall be made using one of the Court’s Acceptable Methods of Payment 3. Pro Se parties are reminded that each signature on a Pleading is a certification that the filer is proceeding in good faith and filing the Pleading for a proper purpose. Pleadings filed by Pro Se parties are subject to the same potential for sanctions pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9011as are filings by attorneys. 4. Prior to filing any Pleadings with the Court, Pro Se parties must redact (remove or hide) all Social Security or taxpayer-identification numbers, dates of birth, names of minor children, and financial account numbers, in accordance with Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9037. This requirement applies to all documents, including attachments. The Clerk’s Office will not redact personal identifiers for the filer. 5. These procedures do not alter the responsibility of Pro Se parties to effect service as required by all applicable Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and the Local Rules of this Court.
