Local Rule L.B.R. 3007-2: Omnibus Claim Objections

L.B.R. 3007-2 Omnibus Claim Objections.

(a) Omnibus Claim Objection Procedures.

When making an omnibus claim objection, the following procedures shall be followed:

(1) The objector shall object to no more than 100 proofs of claim in one pleading;

(2) Copies of the claims need not be attached to the omnibus claim objection. However, the objector shall notify the claimant that a copy of the claim may be obtained from the objector upon request;

(3) The notice of hearing and objection shall be served on the person whose name appears in the signature block on the proof of claim and in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 7004;

(4) A hearing on each objection shall be held at least 40 days after service of the objection, and the date of such hearing, as well as whether the objector intends for the court to conduct an evidentiary hearing or a status conference, shall be clearly set forth in the notice of hearing. The objector is permitted to file a reply, including evidence, to any response at least 3 days prior to a hearing on the objection; and

(5) After the hearing on each omnibus claim objection, the objector may submit to the court a form order sustaining each objection as to which the claimant has defaulted.

(b) Omnibus Claim Objection Hearings.

All pending objections to claims included in an omnibus objection shall follow the same hearing schedule, unless otherwise ordered by the court. When multiple claims subject to an omnibus claim objection are reset, all claims from that objection shall be reset to the same hearing date. A party resetting a hearing on an omnibus claim objection shall provide to the court, no fewer than 2 days prior to the reset hearing date, a list or chart setting forth the claim objections which remain to be determined on the reset hearing date, specifying which of those the party believes will be defaulted or settled.
