Bankr. N.D. W.Va. — General rule
1015-1 JOINT ADMINISTRATION / CONSOLIDATION
(a) Cases jointly administered or substantively consolidated will share a joint mailing list. The Clerk may require the party seeking joint administration or consolidation to create and file the joint mailing list within the deadline set by the Clerk.
(b) In jointly administered or substantively consolidated cases, one case will be designated as the lead case. All pleadings, motions, orders, applications, and notices, but not proofs of claim, are to be docketed in the lead case.
(c) A separate claims register in the lead and member cases must be maintained for the docketing and filing of all proofs of claim. The Clerk may delegate responsibility for updating the mailing list in the main case based on the filing of a proof of claim in the member case.
(d) The Court may, by administrative order, sua sponte, or upon a motion of a party, modify the rules and procedures applicable to joint administration or substantive consolidation.
