Local Rule 9010-1: ATTORNEYS — NOTICE OF APPEARANCE
Bankr. E.D. Tenn. — Attorney rule
RULE 9010-1. ATTORNEYS — NOTICE OF APPEARANCE
(a) Filing Constitutes Appearance. The filing of any notice, petition, pleading, motion, brief, application, objection, response, order, or other paper constitutes an appearance by the attorney signing it.
(b) Scope of Appearance as Attorney for Debtor. Notwithstanding any purported limitation of appearance, entry of an appearance by debtor's attorney constitutes a general appearance on behalf of the debtor for all matters pending or thereafter initiated to which the debtor is a party until the case is closed or the attorney is authorized to withdraw in accordance with E.D. Tenn. LBR 2090-1(a). However, this rule does not extend to adversary proceedings, including actions to determine dischargeability, to deny discharge, or to revoke discharge, such that the entry of a general appearance by debtor's attorney in the bankruptcy case does not constitute entry of an appearance on behalf of the debtor in any pending or future adversary proceeding involving the debtor.
