Local Rule Posted for Comment
Wed, 5/12/2010 - 5:00 am

Upon the agreement of the Judges and the Local Rules Committee, the United States Bankruptcy Court posts suggested 4004-1 for comment in anticipation of an effective date of June 1, 2010. Suggested Local Rule 4004-1 provides a procedure for obtaining a discharge in an individual chapter 11 case. The Court anticipates that such cases will be closed following the final decree and may be reopened, without the payment of a reopening fee, for purposes of obtaining a discharge. Upon the effective date of the rule, the Court will make available new CM/ECF events that correspond with the motion and notice referenced in paragraphs (a) and (c) of the rule. Comments should be submitted to scbc_lr_review@scb.uscourts.gov by Friday May 28, 2010. The Judges and Clerk wish to thank the Local Rules Committee for their review and submissions made.
