The Official Committee of Survivors of Sexual Abuse in the Diocese of Fresno bankruptcy has been extensively involved in all facets of the bankruptcy.  The following is a summary of recent events. 

1. The Court granted Fennemore’s employment application to represent the Committee with the Stinson team. The Fennemore firm will complement Stinson’s extensive experience with diocese bankruptcy by providing local expertise.  Jackson Waste at Fennemore is our local Fresno-based counsel. We look forward to continuing to work with Jackson and his team and appreciate all their work so far.
2. The United States Trustee concluded the initial Meeting of Creditors. The Committee’s Attorneys completed the questioning of the Diocese’s Chief Financial Officer regarding the financial information included in the Debtor’s bankruptcy schedules. We will be following up with the Debtor with an informal document request for various financial and organizational documents that the Debtor discussed during the meeting.  This will ensure that the Committee has the best possible understanding of all the Diocese’s assets that may be available to Survivors.

The Committee will continue to update this website as its able.  If you have any specific questions or comments related to the bankruptcy process feel free to reach out via fresnosurvivors@stinson.com.  Questions about the specifics of your claim should be directed to your attorney if you are represented.
