Rule 3007-1. Claim—Objection.

(a) Objection to Allowance or Classification of Claim.

(1) Scope of Audit. A trustee must audit, and serve any appropriate objection to, only those claims with sufficient priority to have a reasonable possibility of receiving a dividend. The trustee does not waive the right to later object to claims of a lower priority.

(2) LBF for Objection. Except for an omnibus claim objection, an objection must be filed on LBF 763. Any proposed order arising from an objection must be lodged on LBF 763.5.

(3) Notice of omnibus claim objection. An omnibus claim objection under FRBP 3007(d)-(e) must include a notice that substantially conforms to the notice portion of LBF 763.

(b) Timing of Objections and Effect on Confirmation in a Chapter 11 Case. A claim objection filed more than seven days after service of notice of the initial disclosure statement hearing does not affect the amount of the claim for the purpose of voting on, objecting to, determining creditor acceptance of, or otherwise determining whether to confirm, the plan to which the notice referred or any amendments to the plan.
