Local Rule Administrative Order No. 16-06: Administrative Order Regarding the Filing of Final Reports and Accounts in Cases Converted from Chapter 13 to Chapter 7
Bankr. N.D. Ala. — General rule
Administrative Order No. 16-06 All Divisions ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER REGARDING THE FILING OF FINAL REPORTS AND ACCOUNTS IN CASES CONVERTED FROM CHAPTER 13 TO CHAPTER 7 Rule 1019(5)(B)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the "Rules") provides that "[u]nless the court directs otherwise, if a chapter 13 case is converted to chapter 7,…the trustee, not later than 30 days after conversion of the case, shall file and transmit…a final report and account." Upon review and consideration, it appears to the undersigned that in certain procedural circumstances the standing chapter 13 trustees for the Northern District of Alabama are unable to comply with Rule 1019(5). Accordingly, pursuant to Rules 1019(5)(B) and 9006(b)(1), and for cause shown, it is ORDERED that, if a chapter 13 case pending in the Northern District of Alabama is converted to a case under chapter 7 of title 11 of the United States Code, the chapter 13 trustee shall file and transmit to the Bankruptcy Administrator a final report and account on or before the later of (a) 30 days after the date of conversion and (b) 45 days after all outstanding checks issued by the chapter 13 trustee in the subject case have been negotiated and cleared.
DONE this the 9th day of December, 2016.
