The United States Trustee filed a motion for review of debtor’s attorney’s fees, on the grounds that he prepared and filed, on behalf of the debtor, certain deficient and inaccurate schedules and statements, failed to appear at the debtor’s initial meeting of creditors, and filed an inaccurate Rule 2016 disclosure. During discovery, the United States Trustee filed a motion to compel the production of the engagement agreement between the debtor and the attorney, to which the attorney objected. The court noted that the agreement setting forth the terms of counsel’s compensation for services to be rendered in this case was clearly relevant to the allegations. The court granted the motion to compel.
