Local Rule 3003-1. Deadline for Filing Proofs of Claim and Proofs of Interest in Chapter 9 and Chapter 11 Cases.

(a) Unless otherwise ordered, in chapter 9 cases and chapter 11 cases (other than cases filed under subchapter V of chapter 11), a proof of claim or proof of interest is timely filed if the proof of claim or proof of interest is filed not later than 90 days after the first date set for the § 341(a) meeting of creditors.

(b) In cases filed under subchapter V of chapter 11, a proof of claim or proof of interest is timely filed if that proof of claim or proof of interest is filed not later than 70 days after the date of the order for relief.

(c) The following exceptions apply to subsections (a) and (b) of this rule:

(1) A proof of claim filed by a governmental unit is timely filed if it is filed not later than 180 days after the date of the order for relief. A proof of claim filed by a governmental unit for a claim resulting from a tax return filed after the order for relief is timely filed if it is filed no later than the longer of (x)180 days after the date of the order for relief and (y) 60 days after the date of the filing of the tax return. The court may, for cause, enlarge the time for a governmental unit to file a proof of claim only upon motion of the governmental unit made before expiration of the period for filing a timely proof of claim.

(2) In the interest of justice and if it will not unduly delay the administration of the case, the court may extend the time for filing a proof of claim by an infant or incompetent person or the representative of either.

(3) A claim arising from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease of the debtor may be filed within such time as the court may direct.

(4) On motion filed by a creditor before or after the expiration of the time to file a proof of claim, the court may extend the time by not more than 60 days from the date of the order granting the motion. The motion may be granted if the court finds that:

(A) the notice of the commencement of the case was insufficient under the circumstances to give the creditor a reasonable time to file a proof of claim because the debtor failed to timely list the creditor's name and address as required by Rule 1007(a); or

(B) the notice was insufficient under the circumstances to give the creditor a reasonable time to file a proof of claim, and the notice was mailed to the creditor at a foreign address.

(5) In a case in which the debtor is an individual, a proof of claim filed by the holder of a claim that is secured by a security interest in the debtor's principal residence is timely filed if:

(A) the proof of claim, together with the attachments required by Rule 3001(c)(2)(C), is filed not later than 70 days after the order for relief is entered; and

(B) any attachments required by Rule 3001(c)(1) and (d) are filed as a supplement to the holder's claim not later than 120 days after the order for relief is entered.
