days.

no duty to file paperwork submitted to the clerk in disarray. The attorney filing any voluntary or involuntary

before delivery to the clerk and shall ensure that all carbon paper shall have been removed and that
all such paperwork shall be arranged in logical order. An original and four (4) copies of a petition, schedules,
statements and other supporting documents under chapter 7, chapter 12 and chapter 13 of the code shall be
filed. An original and six (6) copies of a petition, schedules, statements and other supporting documents
