On June 2, 2011, Donald M. Miller, debtors’ attorney, (“Miller”) filed an application for attorney fees. On June 10, 2011, the chapter 13 trustee Toby L. Rosen (“trustee”) filed a response. The response states that the proposed attorney fees exceed the court’s “no look” amount pursuant to Administrative Order 08-05.
A hearing on the application was held on July 6, 2011. At hearing, Miller explained that work outside the scope of services included in the “no look” fee was required because debtors’ schedules did not initially list a vehicle used by their son, who lives in Las Vegas. The court stated that it would review the application and grant additional fees to the extent that additional

work was performed with regard to the vehicle.
The court has reviewed the application and finds that the additional services performed fall outside the scope of the “no look” fee and that the additional compensation requested is reasonable. Accordingly, the trustee’s objection in overruled and the application for compensation is granted.
An order will issue with this opinion.
The court incorporates by reference in this paragraph and adopts as the findings and orders of this court the document set forth below.
