Local Rule Rule 3019-1: [ABROGATED]
Bankr. D. Minn. — General rule
Rule 3019-1. [ABROGATED]
[Effective April 15, 1997. Amended effective January 1, 2002; January 1, 2021. Abrogated effective September 3, 2025.]
2025 Advisory Committee Notes Local Rule 3019-1 was abrogated to ensure consistency with Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3019 and 11 U.S.C. § 1127. Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 3019(a) remarks, "In a . . . Chapter . . . 11 case, after a plan has been accepted and before confirmation, the plan proponent may file a modification." Therefore, subsection (a) was unnecessary. Similarly, Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3019(b) remarks that for individual chapter 11 cases, a request to modify the plan under 11 U.S.C. § 1127(e) is governed by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9014. Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9014(a) generally requires a motion. While Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3019 does not address non-individual cases, 11 U.S.C. § 1127(b) makes clear that notice and a hearing is required, as well as a court order confirming the plan. To obtain a court order, the proponent of the plan or the reorganized debtor would be required to file a motion. See generally Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9013(a) ("A request for an order must be made by written motion unless: (1) an application is authorized by these rules; or (2) the request is made during a hearing."). Therefore, subsection (b) was also unnecessary.
