Legal Question in Bankruptcy in New York

Re: bankruptcy

When the Trustee "closes the case," she has determined that the case is ready to submit to the judge.

Assuming the Trustee found your case to be dischargeable and the judge agrees, you will get your discharge in due course. Courts often seem like they keep time differently than does the rest of the world, and they can move at a -- um -- stately pace.

If you have a prepaid or bank debit card with a MasterCard or Visa logo (these are NOT credit cards), you can keep track of the filings in your case by signing up for the PACER system at pacer.psc.uscourts.gov . Signing up for the system is free, but you'll pay $0.08/page for document access.
