When bankruptcy cases filed prior to March 1, 2001 are closed, the files are sent to the Federal
Records Center (FRC) for storage. The files are shipped to the FRC because of the limited physical space available at the clerk's office for storage. You may contact your local divisional
Clerk’s office and request that we retrieve your file with a $45.00 retrieval fee or you may deal directly with the FRC using the Request
Form for Bankruptcy Cases(PDF).
