Bankr. D. Utah — General rule
RULE 9015-1 JURY TRIAL
(a) Demand. Where a jury trial is demanded in or by endorsement upon a pleading as permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the words "JURY DEMANDED" should be typed in capital letters on the first page immediately below the title of the pleading.
(b) Applicable Rules. Fed. R. Civ. P. 38-39, 47-51 and 81(c), insofar as they pertain to jury trials, and DUCivR 83-7.5 apply in cases and proceedings, except that a jury demand made under Fed. R. Civ. P. 38(b) must be filed in accordance with Fed. R. Bankr. P. 5005.
(c) Consent to Have Trial Conducted by Bankruptcy Judge. If the right to a jury trial applies, a timely demand has been filed under Fed. R. Civ. P. 38(b), and the bankruptcy judge has been specially designated to conduct the jury trial, the parties may consent to have a jury trial conducted by a bankruptcy judge under 28 U.S.C. § 157(e) by jointly or separately filing a statement of consent no later than: (1) the time for filing the Report of Parties' Planning Meeting under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7026 and Local Rule 7016-1(b); or (2) if a motion for withdrawal of reference is filed after the demand, within 7 days after service of the motion for withdrawal of reference. Failure to file a consent constitutes an objection by opposing party to a jury trial in the bankruptcy court.
