Bankr. E.D. Mich. — General rule
Rule 3007-1 Objection to a Claim
(a) Procedure. An objection to claim must be filed with a completed form "Notice of Hearing on Objection to Claim," available on the court's website, and a certificate of service. The date and time for the hearing stated on the notice of hearing must be obtained from the schedule of available hearing dates for claims objections on the court's website. The date of the hearing must be at least 30 days after the date of service of the hearing notice. The notice of hearing must state that if the creditor does not file a response by seven days before the date set for the hearing on the objection, the court may cancel the hearing and enter an order sustaining the objection.
(b) Deadline for Response. The deadline for a creditor whose proof of claim is subject to an objection to file a response to the objection is seven days before the date set for the hearing on the objection.
(c) No Response. If a response is not timely filed, the objecting party may file a certificate to that effect and submit a proposed order sustaining the objection. If the court decides to proceed with the scheduled hearing, the court will notify the objecting party.
(d) Initial Hearing. Unless the court orders otherwise, the initial hearing on an objection to claim will not be an evidentiary hearing. If the court determines that an evidentiary hearing is necessary, the court will schedule a separate evidentiary hearing.
