Local Rule 1072-1: PLACES OF HOLDING COURT

1072-1 PLACES OF HOLDING COURT

(a) The Clerk's Office is authorized to establish case assignments for places of holding Court based on the debtor's county of residence. Adversary proceedings are assigned to the same place of holding Court as the main case. A map of the county assignments for places of holding court is available in the Clerk's Office. At any time, the court may, on its own, or on ex parte consideration of a party's motion, hold a hearing or trial at any place of holding court in the District regardless of the debtor's county of residence.

(b) Only the United States trustee may convene the meeting of creditors. A map of the county assignments for the places of holding the meeting of creditors is available from the Clerk's Office. A debtor may make a request to the Regional Office of the United States trustee at least three days before filing a bankruptcy case to hold the meeting of creditors at a different location. If the Regional Office of the United States trustee grants the request, the debtor should contact the Clerk's Office for case filing instructions. The failure to contact the Clerk's Office may result in the meeting of creditors being set in its default location.
