2023 Advisory Committee Notes Local Rule 9006-1 was restyled. The language in former subsection (a) that addressed the Electronic Case Filing System was removed as duplicative of Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9036. The time to file responsive documents in amended subsection (b) was changed to reflect a seven-day increment.
