Local Rule Rule 7041-1: Dismissal of a Complaint Objecting to the Discharge of the Debtor

Rule 7041-1 Dismissal of a Complaint Objecting to the Discharge of the Debtor When the parties to an action under § 727 propose to dismiss the action, they must file a joint statement of the consideration received or to be received by the plaintiff. The plaintiff must then serve the joint statement on all creditors and the trustee, with a notice stating that the deadline to file objections is 14 days after service, and file a certificate of service. If no timely objection is filed, the plaintiff must promptly file a certificate of no response and submit the agreed proposed dismissal order. If a timely response is filed, the court will set the matter for hearing. An original signature from a pro se party is not necessary to authorize the filing of a joint statement under this rule; a fax, email or written signature or consent is sufficient.
