Local Rule 3007-3: Estimation of Claims.

Local Bankr. R. 3007-3 Estimation of Claims. Effective March 16, 2026

(a) If a claim is scheduled as an unliquidated claim, if an objection to a proof of claim is filed, or if a proof of claim is filed in an unliquidated amount, the objecting party, the claimant, the trustee, the Debtor in possession, or any plan proponent may file a motion requesting that the claim be estimated in accordance with 11 U.S.C. § 502(c). Unless the Court orders otherwise, a motion filed to estimate commences a contested matter and must follow the Contested Matter Procedure set forth in Local Bankr. R. 9014-1.

(b) The motion to estimate a claim shall include those purposes (e.g., voting, allowance, etc.) for which estimation is sought, and an explanation of why estimation, as opposed to full trial of the claim objection, is appropriate. As soon as practicable following filing of the motion to estimate, the movant shall consult with the claimant and any objecting party to determine whether either party opposes the motion.

(c) In cases where the unliquidated claim would receive no distribution if allowed, the Court may deny any motion seeking estimation of the claim without conducting a hearing.
