Local Rule LBR 1009-1: Amendments to Lists and Schedules

LBR 1009-1. Amendments to Lists and Schedules

(a) In General. Unless the originally filed document exceeds 15 pages, an amendment to a list, schedule, or statement must be comprehensive, i.e. include any unchanged information, rather than just add new or updated information. If the originally filed document exceeds 15 pages, the amendment must clearly indicate that it is supplemental in nature.

(b) Cover Sheet with Declaration. A party filing an amended list, schedule, or statement pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1009(a) must attach a cover sheet substantially conforming to the local form (Cover Sheet for Amendments), containing the debtor's declaration that the information in the amendments is true and correct. If the amendments are filed electronically, the debtor must submit to the court, not later than 7 days after the date of electronic filing, a declaration substantially conforming to the local form (Declaration re: Electronic Filing).

(c) Notice. Whenever Schedule D, E/F, G, or H is amended to add a creditor or party in interest, the debtor must serve a copy of the notice of commencement of the bankruptcy case, the meeting of creditors, and any deadlines set by the court, as well as any other notices sent by the clerk, upon all added entities. The debtor must file a certificate of service to show compliance with this provision. The requirement to file a certificate of service may be satisfied by using the cover sheet substantially conforming to the local form (Cover Sheet for Amendments), containing a section for certifying service.
