Local Rule 9014-1: Objection or Other Response in Contested Matter.

Rule 9014-1. Objection or Other Response in Contested Matter.

(a) Content of objection or other response. An objection or other response to a motion, application, plan, or other request for relief shall comply with Fed.Rs.Civ.P. 8, 10, and 12. A general denial or mere request for a hearing is insufficient.

(b) Filing and service of objection or other response. An objection or other response to a motion, application, plan, or other request for relief shall be filed with the Court on or before the last date for objections set forth in the notice, order, or applicable local rule and shall be served on the movant, applicant, or plan proponent and other parties in interest not electronically served; provided, however, service on any party other than the debtor may be made on that party's attorney if permitted under Fed.R.Bankr.P. 9014(b) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 5(b).

(c) Documents or actions attendant to a response. In a case under any chapter, if a response to a motion or to an objection to exemptions indicates the debtor will amend a schedule to resolve the contested matter in whole or in part, the debtor shall timely file the amendment. An amendment to a schedule alone does not constitute a response. In a chapter 12 or chapter 13 case, if a response to a motion indicates the debtor will file a modified plan or a motion to modify a confirmed plan to resolve the contested matter in whole or in part, the debtor shall timely file the modified plan or the motion to modify a confirmed. A modified plan or a motion to modify a confirmed plan alone does not constitute a response.
