SOLICITATION OF APPLICANTS TO SERVE AS SUBCHAPTER V TRUSTEES
The United States Department of Justice, Office of the United States Trustee, seeks resumes from persons wishing to be considered for inclusion in a pool of trustees who may be appointed on a case-by-case basis to administer cases filed under the Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019 (Subchapter V), which amended chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (Bankruptcy Code).
Trustees may be primarily appointed to cases filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, all Divisions. Subchapter V trustees receive compensation and reimbursement for expenses, in each case in which they serve, pursuant to court order under section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code.
To be eligible for inclusion in the Subchapter V trustee pool, an applicant must possess strong administrative, financial and interpersonal skills.

Candidates for consideration must:

Be courteous and accessible to all parties with reasonable inquiries or comments about a case for which such individual is serving as private trustee;
(4)
Be free of prejudices against any individual, entity, or group of individuals or entities;
(5)

(6)
Possess one or more of the following minimum qualifications:
(i)
Be a member in good standing of the bar of the highest court of a state or of the District of Columbia;

(iv)
