Have you tried to reach the trustees administrator to get an idea of what asset the trustee considers potentially worthy of liquidation? Trustees often play things a bit close to the vest, and accordingly you may have better luck getting the administrator to give you some insight.

A Trustee has concluded the 341A hearing after much due diligence on a case that I cannot see any possible asset or action for the Trustee to take in this Chapter 7 case.
Nonetheless, there was an asset notice given, and the Trustee is not responding to requests to disclose the asset or his intentions.
If this state persists, can I ask the judge to close the case under some code section, or is it just 105? I don't like depending on 105 much.

A Trustee has concluded the 341A hearing after much due diligence on a case that I cannot see any possible asset or action for the Trustee to take in this Chapter 7 case.

Nonetheless, there was an asset notice given, and the Trustee is not responding to requests to disclose the asset or his intentions.

If this state persists, can I ask the judge to close the case under some code section, or is it just 105? I don’t like depending on 105 much.
