2023 Advisory Committee Notes Former Local Rule 9013-4 was renumbered to Local Rule 9013-3. The language in former Local Rule 9013-4 was restyled and reorganized. Subsections (a) and (b) from former Local Rule 9013-4 were removed as duplicative of Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2014 and 2016 and Local Rules 2014-1 and 2016-1. Those rules provide specific instructions for filing applications for employment of professional persons and for compensation for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses.
