People, I wrote to the US Trustee and here's the reply she sent back. Unfortunately I don't know how to go about these things. Anyone know a lawyer that can put something together to get us an equity committee? There's potential here so spread the word before we all get shafted.
---------------------------------
I have received the email you sent to me concerning the School Specialty bankruptcy cases. If you wish to request the U.S. Trustee to appoint an official committee of equity security holders in the School Specialty cases, please submit a formal request in writing to me. Unlike the appointment of an unsecured creditors committee, the bankruptcy laws do not require the appointment of an equity security holders committee as a matter of course. Consequently, in your written request, please set forth in detail the specific grounds that you believe support the appointment of an equity committee in this case under applicable law. You may wish to consult an attorney to assist you in preparing such a request. While I cannot provide legal advice to you, please feel free to contact me if you have other questions.
Very truly yours,
