	Court Sets Deadline for Claims in Davenport Diocese Bankruptcy WHO October 24, 2006 http://www.whotv.com/Global/story.asp?S=5579207&nav=2HAB Davenport, Iowa A February deadline has been set for anyone who wants to make a claim against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Davenport as a part of the diocese's bankruptcy case. The U-S Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Iowa set a February 6th, 2007 deadline today (Monday). The Davenport diocese filed for Chapter Eleven bankruptcy protection on October 10th in an effort to deal with the financial burden of more than 24 claims against it by people alleging abuse by priests. The court has also called a creditors meeting for November 8th at the federal courthouse in Davenport. The meeting is expected to be conducted by a bankruptcy trustee -- not a judge -- who will ask financial questions of a diocese representative. The creditors are primarily alleged victims. They will also be able to ask questions of the diocese's representative.
