Local Rule 1009-1: AMENDMENTS OF VOLUNTARY PETITIONS, LISTS, SCHEDULES, AND STATEMENTS

RULE 1009‐1 AMENDMENTS OF VOLUNTARY PETITIONS, LISTS, SCHEDULES, AND STATEMENTS

(A) Generally. Amendments to voluntary petitions, lists, schedules, and statements shall be filed on the most current Official Form and be signed by the debtor(s) or accompanied by an unsworn declaration on the appropriate Official Form signed by the debtor(s) per Bankruptcy Rule 1008.

(B) Social Security Number. An amended Statement of Social Security Number shall be filed for any change or correction to the debtor's social security number. If the change or correction affects the last four digits of the debtor's social security number, an amended petition shall also be filed.

(C) Amendments to Schedules; Specific Requirements.

(1) Amendments of Schedules A/B, C, I, and J shall include all information requested on the schedule so that the amended schedule fully replaces the previously filed schedule.

(2) Amendments of Schedules D, E/F, G, and H shall include only the new information. When new creditors or parties in interest are added, a fee may be due and shall be tendered with the amended schedule.

(3) Amended schedules shall be accompanied by a Declaration on the applicable Official Form.

(4) Amended schedules of assets or liabilities shall be accompanied by a Summary of Assets and Liabilities on the applicable Official Form.

(5) Because creditors and parties in interest have only 30 days to object after filing of an amended claim of exemptions, the debtor must serve an amended Schedule C on the entire Mailing Matrix. The 30‐day objection period shall only begin to run upon the docketing of a certificate of service of the amended Schedule C.

(6) Amended schedules that add creditors or parties in interest shall be served on those added parties.

(D) Removing Creditor from Mailing Matrix. A request to remove a creditor or party in interest from the Mailing Matrix must be made by motion. Refiling the original schedules or filing amended schedules with the creditor crossed off or with a notation that the creditor is to be deleted is not effective. A motion filed by the debtor seeking to have a creditor removed shall be served on that creditor. A creditor that is removed from the Mailing Matrix on their own motion waives the right to any future notices in the case.
