RULE 9004-2. CAPTION — PAPERS, GENERAL

(a) Chapter, Division, and Number. In addition to the information required by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9004(b) and, if applicable, 11 U.S.C. § 342(c), Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1005 and 2002(o), every caption must identify the chapter of the case, the division in which the case or adversary proceeding is pending, and the case or adversary proceeding number, including the initials of the judge to whom the case or proceeding is assigned.

(b) Exhibits and Amendments. Exhibits and other attachments (including payment advices attached to Local Form 1007.1 and mailing matrices attached to certificates of service), should normally be filed as attachments to the main document to which they relate. If, however, an exhibit or other attachment is filed as a docket entry separate from the paper to which it relates, the filing must include a cover sheet bearing the case caption and a description of the paper to which the document relates. Likewise, amendments to documents (including reaffirmation agreements) must include such a cover sheet.
