| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | List the petition date, the debts the books show as due, any writing that disputes a debt, and any document showing a custodian took possession, with the date of possession. Write no submission. |
| What the lawyer must review | 11 U.S.C. § 303(h): if the petition is not timely controverted, the court orders relief. Otherwise, after trial, the court orders relief only if the debtor is generally not paying debts as they become due unless those debts are the subject of a bona fide dispute as to liability or amount, or if, within 120 days before the petition, a custodian other than a trustee, receiver, or agent appointed to take charge of less than substantially all of the property for the purpose of enforcing a lien was appointed or took possession. Section 303(i): if the court dismisses a petition other than on consent of all petitioners and the debtor, and the debtor does not waive the right to judgment, the court may grant costs or a reasonable attorney’s fee against the petitioners, and against a petitioner who filed in bad faith, proximate damages or punitive damages. The lawyer writes the submission. Bankruptcy Rule 9011(b) certifies it. The time to controvert is in the Bankruptcy Rules, which were not opened for that deadline. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List the petition date, the debts the books show as due, any writing that disputes a debt, and any document showing a custodian took possession, with the date of possession. Write no submission.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not invent the number of days to controvert the petition. The rules fix that time. They were not opened.
- Section 303(g) allows an interim trustee in a chapter 7 case, before an order for relief, on request, after notice and a hearing, if necessary to preserve property or prevent loss. That order is the court’s. This entry does not apply for it.
- Legislative-history dollar amounts and day counts in the notes to § 303 are not the current text.
