Local Rule L.R. 3003: Additional Proof of Claim Filing Provisions for Chapter 11 Cases.

L.R. 3003 - Additional Proof of Claim Filing Provisions for Chapter 11 Cases. A. Claims Bar Date. 1. In Chapter 11 cases not filed under Subchapter V, the Court will fix a claims bar date upon motion without hearing. The motion to establish a claims bar date must include a proposed notice of claims bar date. The movant must serve the motion and proposed notice on the L.R. 9013-3(D) Master Service List or on those who would be on such a list. 2. In Subchapter V cases, unless otherwise ordered, the claims bar date will be seventy (70) days after the petition date, and for claims by governmental units 180 days after the petition date, unless the Bankruptcy Code or order of the court provide a later date.

B. Notice of Bar Date. In all Chapter 11 cases, unless otherwise provided, the debtor must serve notice of the claims bar date with a blank Official Proof of Claim form on all creditors and parties in interest, unless otherwise directed by the Court. The debtor may request that the Court serve notice of the claims bar date as part of the notice of commencement of case.

C. Newly Added Creditors. If the debtor amends its Chapter 11 schedules to add a creditor or to reduce the amount of a claim or reclassify a claim as "contingent," "unliquidated," or "disputed" after having served notice of the claims bar date, then, in addition to the requirements of L.R. 1009, the debtor must serve the notice of claims bar date on the affected creditor and must give written notice that the creditor must file any claim by the bar date or thirty (30) days after the date of the notice, whichever is later.
