Order Amending Local Bankruptcy Rules

From the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Indiana:

Notice of proposed amendments to the local rules of this Court was given to the bar and the public on November 3, 2015. The last date for submitting comments concerning the proposed amendment was November 25, 2015. In response to a comment, the Court made minor edits to proposed B-1007-1(a)(5), the new subparagraph setting a requirement to file a statement in lieu of pay advices.

In response to two comments received concerning proposed edits to B-4002-1(a), clarifying the proper method for giving notice of the bankruptcy to state courts and other tribunals, the Judges decided to defer adoption of the proposed edits and will give further consideration to those comments.

Effective December 1, 2015, the local rules are amended as shown in the attached document.
