They supersede all previous Local Rules and Court Administrative Orders, except for Court Administrative Order No. 2010-3 and any other Court Administrative Order that does not conflict with these Rules.

(b) Administrative Orders. If any matter of practice or procedure requires the attention of the Court prior to further amendment of these Rules, the Court may enter an administrative order to serve as an interim rule. The Clerk will maintain a file that numbers each administrative order as it is entered. Administrative orders are available for public inspection in the office of the Clerk and on the Court's website at www.miwb.uscourts.gov.

(c) Technical Corrections. Technical corrections to these Rules may be made by the Court at any time. Notice of such corrections will be provided on the Court's website at www.miwb.uscourts.gov and posted in the Clerk's office.

(d) Use of Local Forms. The documents attached as exhibits to these Rules are for reference purposes only. Only the official documents posted under the "Local Forms" link on the Court's website may be used.

(e) Suspension or Modification. Any judge of this Court may suspend or modify a provision of these Rules in a particular case, adversary proceeding, or contested matter on the Court's own initiative or on motion of a party.

(f) Judge-Specific Procedures. Nothing in these Rules shall preclude a judge from adopting procedures specific to that judge's chambers or courtroom. Parties shall consult the court's website for posted procedures of the individual judges.
