Bankr. E.D. Okla. — General rule
RULE 9006-1. TIME PERIODS; ENLARGEMENT OR REDUCTION AND CONTINUANCES A.Time Computation. Computing any period of time prescribed by Bankruptcy Rule 9006 shall be calculated beginning from the date of the entry of the document on the docket, rather than from the service of the document.
B.Enlargement or Reduction of Time. All applications for enlargement of time under Bankruptcy Rule 9006(b) or reductions of time under Bankruptcy Rule 9006(c) shall include in the caption of the application appropriate language such as "Request for Expedited Hearing" or "Request for Expedited Ruling" or "Request for Shortened Notice" and shall state:
1.The basis for such request;
2.The date due without the requested enlargement or reduction;
3.The dates of any previous applications and the results thereof; and 4.A statement that the consent of the other parties in interest has been requested, whether such parties consent or object, and the identity of parties consenting or objecting; or if consent was not requested, the reason therefor.
C.Continuances. All applications for continuances of hearings shall be in writing, shall be filed at least three (3) days prior to the date set for the hearing, shall state cause for such request, and shall contain a statement that all other parties to the hearing have been contacted regarding the requested continuance and whether such parties consent or object. If an emergency renders a timely application impossible, the motion shall describe the emergency and shall represent that a timely application was impossible. Continuances are not favored by the Court and the Court may, in its discretion, deny a request for a continuance notwithstanding consent to a continuance by all parties to the matter or proceeding. A hearing may be continued by the Court from time to time without further notice other than an announcement at the originally scheduled hearing of the date of the continued hearing. Agreed Orders submitted shall comply with Local Rule 9072-1(A) and (D).
D.Ex Parte Ruling. Requests described in subsections (B) and (C) of this rule may be ruled upon ex parte.
