Local Rule 1001-1: SCOPE OF RULES

RULE 1001-1 SCOPE OF RULES The Supreme Court of the United States has, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §2075, prescribed rules of procedure in bankruptcy cases. Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9029 provides that courts may adopt local rules that are not inconsistent with the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

These Local Rules of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia are hereby prescribed and promulgated as Local Rules governing practice and procedure before the Court. They are to be cited as the "Local Bankruptcy Rules" except that individual rules may be cited in the following form: "Local Bankruptcy Rule______" or "LBR_____."

Comments The prior set of Local Bankruptcy Rules contained several references that were inconsistent with this rule. Therefore, all incorrect references have been edited so that they are now in compliance.
