A notice of a proposed sale filed by trustee or debtor in possession shall include the 21-day notice provided in Mont. LBR 9013-1 and the information required by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002(c)(1). In accordance with Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9006(c)(1), the 21-day notice period may be reduced for good cause shown. A party in interest may file a response and request a hearing pursuant to Mont. LBR 9013-1.

Related Authority: Fed. R. Bankr. P. 6003 and 6004 Comment: It should be noted that Fed. R. Bankr. P. 6003 now provides that within 21 days after the filing of a petition, the Court shall not grant relief regarding a motion to use, sell, lease, or otherwise incur an obligation regarding property of the estate, except to the extent that relief is necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm. The Court can make the order approving the motion retroactive to the date of its filing.
