UTICA, N.Y. — The United States Trustee Program closed its Utica field office on Tuesday, July 1, according to a notice from the U.S. Department of Justice posted on its website.
The U.S. Trustee Program is responsible for overseeing the administration of bankruptcy cases and private trustees. The national program’s mission is to promote the integrity and efficiency of the bankruptcy system.
The trustee program said it will continue to provide oversight and appear in bankruptcy cases filed in the Utica and Syracuse divisions of the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of New York. All notices, pleadings, documents, and correspondence related to and filed in those divisions should be directed to the Rochester field office — located at 100 State St., Suite 4230 in Rochester — the Department of Justice notice stated.
The Justice Department did not provide any information on the number of employees affected by the Utica office closure.
When contacted via email, Matthew Nies, public affairs specialist with the Department of Justice, replied stating, “We don’t have a comment on the closure of the Utica trustee office.”
