Local Rule LBR 3018-1: Ballots – Voting on Plans

LBR 3018-1. Ballots – Voting on Plans

(a) Service. The plan proponent must file a certificate identifying the parties served a ballot (Official Form 314) to accept or reject a chapter 11 plan. The certificate of service may be combined with the certificate showing service of the disclosure statement and plan.

(b) Ballots to be Returned to Plan Proponent. Completed ballots must be returned to the plan proponent or its agent, not the court.

(c) Ballot Report. Not later than 7 days before the confirmation hearing, the plan proponent must file a ballot tabulation report that: (1) shows the percentages of acceptances and rejections for each impaired class, in number and dollar amount; (2) identifies any unimpaired classes with an explanation why such classes are unimpaired under § 1124; (3) identifies any ballots received after the voting deadline set by the court and whether such ballots are included in the tabulation; and (4) attaches all ballots as exhibits (unless there is an unusually large number of ballots).
