Beginning January 1, 2012, the case numbering system for newly filed main bankruptcy
cases and adversary cases filed in the Philadelphia and Reading Divisions of the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania will run sequentially starting with
12-10001 for main bankruptcy cases and 12-0001 for adversary cases. Main bankruptcy case
numbers and adversary case numbers assigned to the Reading Division will no longer be
distinguished by the number "2" after the year. Cases filed in the Philadelphia Division will
continue to be identified under office code number 2 and cases filed in the Reading Division will
continue to be identified under office code number 4. The initials of the assigned judge will
continue to appear after all cases.
