Local Rule 3007-1: CLAIMS — OBJECTIONS

RULE 3007-1. CLAIMS — OBJECTIONS

(a) Objection and Order Title. An objection to the allowance of a claim for which a proof of claim has been filed and the accompanying proposed order should include in its title the name of the holder of the claim and the number of the claim as shown in the claims register maintained by the clerk of court. If an objection addresses claims of more than one holder, the names of the holders and the numbers of the claims may be set forth in an exhibit referenced in the title.

(b) Affidavit or Declaration in Support. In the event a party utilizes the passive notice procedure of E.D. Tenn. LBR 9013-1(h) in filing an objection to a claim or supplement to claim (notice of mortgage payment change or notice of postpetition mortgage fees, expenses, and charges), the objection must be accompanied by an affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury that sets forth the evidentiary basis for the objection, unless the objection is premised solely on procedural grounds evident from the record.
