RULE 3007-1. Objections to Proofs of Claim.

Except as provided in Mont. LBR 3002-1 for late filed claims in Chapter 12 or 13 cases, trustee, debtor, or other party in interest may file an objection to a creditor's proof of claim in accordance with Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3007 and by using Mont. LBF 28. The Court will summarily grant objections to duplicate claims without notice or a hearing.

Related Authority: 11 U.S.C. §§ 102(1)(B)(i) Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3007, and 9007 Comment: Creditor, at the address noted on the filed proof of claim, and trustee are the only parties that must be served with the objection. If a federally insured depository institution is involved, the service must be sent by certified mail to the officer of the institution unless the institution has appeared through an attorney, the Court orders otherwise after initial certified service, or the institution waives in writing the certified mail requirement by designating an officer to receive service.
