Local Rule RULE 9007-1: GENERAL AUTHORITY TO REGULATE NOTICES: SERVICE

RULE 9007-1 GENERAL AUTHORITY TO REGULATE NOTICES: SERVICE A. When Service Required. Except as otherwise provided in these Local Rules, in the Bankruptcy Rules, or in an order of the Court, every Document required to be served must be served on each party in interest upon whom service is required by the Code or the Bankruptcy Rules.

B. Person to be Served. Where an attorney has entered an appearance for a party in a case or proceeding, service of any Document required to be made on such party, except a complaint, must be made on the party's attorney unless the Court directs otherwise.

C. How Service Made. Service must be made pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7005, which adopts Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b) and Bankruptcy Rule 9006.

D. Certificate or Affidavit of Service. Except as set forth otherwise in these Local Rules, a certificate or affidavit of service (Local Form 2002-1.G.) must accompany all requests for relief, objections, orders served pursuant to Local Rule 9013-1.L.3 and notices submitted for filing. Every certificate or affidavit of service must include (1) the names and addresses of all persons and entities served other than through the ECF System; (2) the date service was made; (3) the manner in which service was made; and (4) the personal or electronic signature of the person making the certificate or affidavit, his or her typed name, address, telephone number, and if an attorney, state bar number. It is not sufficient to state that service was made on "all parties in interest," "all interested parties," "all ECF registrants" or the like. In cases where the certificate or affidavit of service would be inordinately long, the Court may provide exception to this rule pursuant to application and order.

E. Limitations on Service or Notice. No order shortening time for service or limiting notice of any request for relief shall be entered except upon a clear and specific showing, by affidavit, of the reasons why proceeding other than by notice as prescribed by the Bankruptcy Rules and this rule is necessary. The affidavit must state whether a previous request altering notice requirements has been made by the moving party in connection with the case.
