After an involuntary Chapter 7 case commences but before an order for relief, the court may, on a party in interest’s motion, order the United States trustee to appoint an interim trustee under § 303(g). The motion must set forth the need for the appointment and may be granted only after a hearing on notice to:

• the debtor;

• the petitioning creditors;

• the United States trustee; and

• other parties in interest as the court orders.

An interim trustee may be appointed only if the movant furnishes a bond, in an amount that the court approves, to indemnify the debtor for any costs, attorney’s fees, expenses, and damages allowable under § 303(i).

The court’s order must state the reason the appointment is needed and specify the trustee’s duties.
