Local Rule L.R. 9027: Removal.

L.R. 9027 – Removal A. Commencing an Adversary Proceeding via Notice of Removal A party commencing an adversary proceeding with a Notice of Removal must: 1. Pay the prescribed filing fee for a new adversary proceeding; 2. File an original notice of removal; 3. File proof of filing the notice of removal with the Clerk of the applicable federal or state court from which the action is removed and proof of service of a notice of removal and consent to entry of judgment form (Local Form 32) upon all parties; 4. File a copy of all process, pleadings, orders and other documents then on file in the court from which the action is removed, including a copy of that court's docket sheet; 5. File a completed adversary proceeding cover sheet (Local Form 18) and corporate ownership statement containing the information described in Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7007.1; and 6. File a completed consent to entry of judgment form (Local Form 32) if proper service related to the underlying claim or cause of action has not been effected prior to the filing of the Notice of Removal with the Court.

B. Statements in Notice of Removal or Related Filings Regarding Consent to Entry of Order or Judgment in Core Proceeding 1. A notice of removal must contain a statement that, upon removal of the claim or cause of action, the party filing the notice does or does not consent to entry of final orders or judgments by the Bankruptcy Court. If the notice of removal lacks that statement, then the party filing the notice of removal has waived the right to contest the Bankruptcy Court's authority to enter final orders or judgments in the adversary proceeding, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. 2. Any party who has filed a pleading in connection with the removed claim or cause of action, other than the party filing the notice of removal, must file a statement that the party does or does not consent to entry of final orders or judgments by the Bankruptcy Court (Local Form 32) within fourteen days after the filing of the notice of removal or as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. If no such statement is filed, the party has waived the right to contest the Bankruptcy Court's authority to enter final orders or judgments in the adversary proceeding, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Courts.
