Bruhn matter is Tuesday, October 16, 2007. However, we are asking all creditors in the Richard L.

How do I file a proof of claim? You need to complete a proof of claim stating the amount of money you are owed and the basis for the obligation. If you did not receive a proof of claim from the Bankruptcy Court, you may download a proof of claim form in the Richard L. Bruhn individual case here. Instructions are included on the second page of the form. You can view a sample proof of claim to assist you with completing the proof of claim. You need to sign and date the bottom of the form.
You must file a separate and different proof of claim form in the DBI corporate case. For your convenience, we are providing a blank proof of claim form in the DBI corporate case.
Once you have completed your proof of claim form, please mail it to the Bankruptcy Court at the following address. DO NOT MAIL YOUR PROOF OF CLAIM FORM TO McNUTT & LITTENEKER – IT MUST BE MAILED TO THE COURT.
Clerk of the Court
U.S. Bankruptcy Court

If you want the Court to return to you a stamped copy of your proof of claim, you must include a photocopy of the completed and signed form along with a self-addressed stamped envelope. The Court will stamp your proof of claim form as filed on the date they receive it and return a copy to you for your records. We cannot take any responsibility for the filing of your proofs of claim; you must personally verify their receipt with the Court.
