BANKRUPTCY LOCAL RULE 3003-1 FILING PROOF OF CLAIM OR INTEREST UNDER CHAPTER11

(a) Standard Bar Date. Unless otherwise ordered by the court, proofs of claim or interest shall be filed pursuant to FRBP 3003 and shall be filed within 90 days after the first date set for the meeting of creditors called pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 341(a) unless the claimant is a governmental unit, in which case a proof of claim shall be filed before 180 days after the date of the order for relief or such later time as the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure may provide. Notice of the deadline for filing proof of claim or interest shall be included by the clerk in the notice of commencement of the case.

(b) Non-Standard Bar Date. In those instances in which a 90-day claims deadline is not appropriate, debtor's attorney should submit a motion and proposed order providing for a different date at the time the Chapter 11 petition is filed. The motion should include a brief statement of the reason for the date suggested.
