LBR 2004: Examination of a Party in Interest
(a) Prerequisite to Filing Application. Any entity seeking to examine a party in interest pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2004 must first contact the party's attorney (or the party directly if not represented by counsel) to arrange a mutually convenient date, time, and place before filing an application pursuant to that Rule. If an agreement is reached, the application must include the agreed-upon date, time, and place of the examination.
(b) Filing of Application Without Agreement. If, after making all reasonable efforts, the applicant is unable to set a mutually acceptable date, time, and place for the examination, the application must include a specific description of the efforts made and the proposed date, time, and place for the examination.
