Local Rule 5009-2: Closing of Chapter 15 Cases

Rule 5009-2 Closing of Chapter 15 Cases.

(a) Motion Required. The final report required by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 5009(c) must be included in a motion filed by the foreign representative attaching, and seeking entry of, a proposed final decree order that (i) orders the closing of the case and (ii) identifies in the caption and in the body of the order the case name and the case number of each case to be closed under the order.

(b) Service and Objection. The motion must be served on (i) the parties specified in Fed. R. Bankr. P. 5009(c), (ii) all other parties who have filed a request for notice in the case, and (iii) any other entities as the Court may direct. The foreign representative must file a certificate with the court that the motion has been served. If no objection has been filed within 30 days after the date of service, then there will be a presumption that the case has been fully administered, and the Court may enter a proposed final decree order closing the case. If an objection is timely filed, then the Court will hold a hearing on the motion.
