Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Filing Numbers in December

There were 734 Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases filed in the Sacramento area during December 2013.

This is only counting Chapter 7 cases in the Sacramento Division of the Eastern District of California. The numbers would be higher if I counted cases filed in the Modesto, Fresno and Bakersfield divisions. As you can see, the Eastern District of California covers the northern 1/3 of the State of California.

Filings in December are down 24% compared with last month, November 2013. This is to be expected, as business at the courthouse is typically relatively slow in December because of the holidays.

Of the 734 Chapter 7 cases filed in December, over 90 of the cases were filed “pro se.” A case filed “pro se” means without the assistance of counsel.
