I am looking at this very objectively, the same as you do with all of your posts/analysis.....
Are you suggesting that filing a petition with an attorneys name , etc. on it.....a requirement of the instructions.....and making a mark in the area that calls for his signature yet which is clearly not, is fine with you?
If it was a requirement, then why did the court accept the fees and the petition?? The fact that immediately there after Neiger wrote a letter indicating he did not sign, nor is he representing SPNG says something..... these guys aren't new to this subject domain!! Probably, the dates will be pushed back until all the errors and omissions have been corrected. After all this is a company in distress and so I believe the court will try to help out as long as they are able to comply with rules and precedences(don't want to set a bad precedence).
'm combining responses to 2 posts here.....ran out yesterday :o) "And I think your Issues will be resolved." That's the future tense you're using there, right?
And that's why the instructions and my post make these statements early in the going: "This stay takes effect automatically, immediately upon the filing of a petition."
"Everything" is due within 14 days of the filing by law, hence the 7/23 date. That 2 week "extension" might be just what some folks were looking for when they filed. Denying the petition in two weeks, should that occur, could very well be critical to parties that sought to resolve certain issues during that period or, in the alternative, assure that certain issues remain unresolved.
We'll see.
BTW, re:"I believe everything is due 23 July 2010..... this includes all the schedules A-H, plus financial statements, attorney disclosures, etc." As noted and per the Instructions: "If required, the debtor should check the box on page 2 and complete and attach the “Exhibit A” form." It was due with the petition.
I think I have addressed all of these in my above response. Once again, the gist of my response is 'flexibility' and not setting a bad precedence.
