Local Rule Rule 1008-1: [ABROGATED]

Rule 1008-1. [ABROGATED]

[Effective April 15, 1997. Amended effective January 1, 2002; January 9, 2006. Abrogated July 17, 2023.]

2023 Advisory Committee Note Local Rule 1008-1 was abrogated; the rule number is reserved for possible future use. Local Rule 1008-1 had one remaining subsection concerning proof of authority to file a petition for all non-individual debtors. The Voluntary Petition for Non-Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy (Official Form 201) in part 17 addresses the declaration and signature of an authorized representative of the debtor, and specifically has the signatory declare under penalty of perjury that "I have been authorized to file this petition on behalf of the debtor." Further, an individual who is authorized to act on behalf of a non-individual debtor must also file the Declaration Under Penalty of Perjury for Non-Individual Debtors (Official Form 202) when signing and submitting the schedules of assets and liabilities, any other document that requires a declaration that is not included in the document, and any amendments to those documents. Accordingly, it was no longer necessary to have a Local Form 1008-1 to serve as separate proof of authority to file a petition; both the rule and Local Form 1008-1 were abrogated.
