L.R. 3002 - General Proof of Claim Filing Provisions. A. Chapter 7. In a Chapter 7 case, with the exception of claims related to debts secured by a security interest in the Debtor's principal residence, no deadline will be set for filing proofs of claim unless the Trustee requests the Court issue a notice of assets. Upon issuing a deadline for filing claims, the Court will give notice of the deadline as required in Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3002(c)(5). The Court will docket all claims whether or not a deadline has been set.

B. Conversions. A proof of claim filed before conversion of any case is deemed filed in the converted case. Any claimant who did not file a proof of claim in a Chapter 11 case because the claim was correctly scheduled must file a proof of claim in the converted case if a claims bar date is set.

C. Lease Rejection and Avoidance Action Claims. Any claim that arises out of the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease or from a judgment entered against the creditor pursuant to an action under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code must be filed by the claims bar date established in the case or within thirty (30) days after entry of an order approving the rejection or entering judgment, whichever is later.
