Local Rule Rule 3015.1-1: Requirements for a Local Form for a Chapter 13 Plan.

Rule 3015.1-1 Requirements for a Local Form for a Chapter 13 Plan.

All chapter 13 plans filed by or on behalf of the debtor shall be filed using the local form authorized by the judges of the Northern and Southern Districts of Mississippi under the authority of Fed. R. Bankr. P 3015.1. The local form chapter 13 plan for the Northern and Southern Districts of Mississippi is included as Appendix A to these Uniform Local Bankruptcy Rules.

All information entered on the local form chapter 13 plan shall be in a typewritten format. The filer of a chapter 13 plan shall not attempt to make substantive alterations to the local form chapter 13 plan (i.e., strike-through of standard provisions, add new standard provisions, use Part 8 of the local form chapter 13 plan to alter existing standard provisions or add non-standard provisions that are inapplicable to the debtor's case). The Court may strike a chapter 13 plan that is submitted with substantive alterations to the local form chapter 13 plan.

From time to time, the judges of the Northern and Southern Districts of Mississippi may change the format or make non-substantive changes to the local form chapter 13 plan in Appendix A. Any such non-substantive changes will be reported to registered attorney filers via email. If the judges seek to make substantive changes to the local form chapter 13 plan, such proposed changes will be advertised for public comment and submitted to the Fifth Circuit Judicial Council for final approval as an amendment to the local rules.
