Upon the agreement of the Judges and the Local Rules Committee, the United States Bankruptcy Court posts these Local Rules for comment in anticipation of an effective date of March 31, 2010. Revised Local Rule 1073-1 incorporates Operating Order 09-05 and sets forth the Court's existing practice regarding the assignment of certain cases. The new rule removes Exhibit A and utilizes a new CM/ECF event, "Certification Regarding Judge Assignment," which will be used in place of the existing form. Proposed 7030-1 incorporates the District Court's rule regarding depositions and examinations. Comments should be submitted to scbc_lr_review@scb.uscourts.gov by Friday March 19, 2010.
