Thursday, April 25, 2024
The Northern District of California (San Jose Division) is implementing virtual section 341 meetings of creditors (“341 meetings”) for all chapter 7, 12, and 13 cases filed on or after May 1, 2024. These virtual 341 meetings will be held by video conference, which will be conducted through the Zoom platform, beginning on or after June 3, 2024.
The U.S. Trustee may approve alternative arrangements for 341 meetings when extenuating circumstances exist that preclude a debtor’s attendance by video. In addition, in rare cases, the U.S. Trustee may determine that an in-person 341 meeting is necessary. In the event of an in-person 341 meeting, the meeting will be held at an alternate 341 meeting location that can be found here.
