Notice (2019-10-28) — In re Panthera Enterprises, LLC

What This Document Is

A two-page notice of appearance and request for service, filed October 28, 2019 by attorney William J. Leon on behalf of creditor SMI, LLC, an early-case filing that sorts into this lease's manifest range out of chronological docket order (its docket number, 44, places it numerically after the 400-series entries processed immediately before it in this checkpoint, but it was filed in 2019, near the case's opening).

Factual Summary

Leon appears as counsel for creditor SMI, LLC and, pursuant to Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure 2002 and 9010, requests that all notices and papers required to be served in the case be directed to him at William J. Leon, LC, 1200 Dorsey Ave., Suite III, Morgantown, WV 26501. The filing is dated and signed October 28, 2019, and includes a certificate of service stating that Leon electronically filed the notice with the Clerk of Court via CM/ECF, which served all parties registered to receive CM/ECF notices. The docket report's own entry for docket number 44 confirms this filing as a "Notice of Appearance and Request for Notice by William J. Leon with Certificate of Service Filed by William J. Leon on behalf of SMI, LLC," entered October 28, 2019.
