Local Rule 9075-1: EMERGENCY ORDERS
Bankr. D.S.C. — General rule
LOCAL RULE 9075-1: EMERGENCY ORDERS a. Motions for Emergency or Expedited Hearing. A motion for an emergency hearing or a hearing to be held on less than fourteen (14) days' notice should be filed as a separate document from the motion upon which relief is sought, including a motion for immediate turnover of tangible personal property under 11 U.S.C. § 542(a), and should contain a complete and detailed explanation of the urgency of the request, including the proposed time for scheduling of a hearing, the potential for irreparable harm if relief is not granted, and the efforts made to communicate with other parties in interest to the motion in a good faith attempt to resolve the matter.
b. Ex Parte Relief. A pleading seeking ex parte relief, such as a temporary restraining order, shall be accompanied by a proposed order.
Notes:
(2024) Paragraph (a) was amended to specifically reference motions for immediate turnover as a result of amendments to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7001(1). Paragraph (c) was removed as superfluous and in conflict with amended Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7001(1).
