RULE 4001‐1 AUTOMATIC STAY
(A) Motions for Relief from Stay. All motions seeking relief from the automatic stay shall specifically identify any property subject to the motion. Motions seeking stay relief with respect to property based on a perfected secured interest in such property should have attached as exhibits copies of all documents necessary to support the movant's claim. Copies of any documents required to be recorded in order to perfect a secured interest should include the recording information.
(B) Agreed Motions; Filing Fees. Agreed motions for stay relief shall be signed by the movant's attorney and the debtor's attorney (or the debtor if pro se), as well as the trustee in Chapter 7 cases unless the trustee has filed a report of no distribution or affirmatively abandoned the property that is subject to the motion. Agreed motions complying with these requirements do not require a fee. For all other motions, the required fee shall be tendered with the filing even if the movant alleges that the motion is unopposed.
(C) Motions to Extend or Impose the Stay. Every motion to extend or to impose the stay shall contain the case number and date of dismissal of the debtor's prior case or cases dismissed within the preceding year. Every motion shall also contain a detailed statement of the facts demonstrating that the current case was filed in good faith. Motions to extend the stay pursuant to §362(c)(3) shall be filed concurrently with the petition or within such time shortly thereafter to facilitate scheduling the matter for hearing and to provide sufficient notice to all creditors and parties in interest in advance of the hearing. Motions to extend the stay must be heard within 30 days of the filing of the petition and will not be heard on an emergency basis and shortened notice. Motions to impose the stay pursuant to §362(c)(4) shall be filed within 30 days of the case filing. All motions to impose or extend the stay will be set for hearing; the debtor's attendance is required.
