Ballots – Voting on Plans (updated November 24, 2015)

The following shall govern any Chapter 11 case pending in this district unless otherwise ordered by the Court: (a) All ballots accepting or rejecting a plan in a Chapter 11 case shall be filed with the Court by the voting creditors and equity security holders, and will be docketed by the Court. Voting creditors and equity security holders should file their original executed ballots with the Court via ECF or via physical delivery (such as mail or courier) to the address provided in the Clerk’s instructions. (b) If a plan proponent receives an original executed ballot mistakenly sent to it instead of the Clerk’s office, the plan proponent shall promptly mail or otherwise deliver the original ballot to the Clerk’s office. A plan proponent shall not electronically file any other party's ballot.

(c) For all confirmation hearings, the plan proponent shall prepare a written summary of the ballots filed with the Court, in substantially the same form as contained in the Clerk’s Instructions. At the confirmation hearing, the original ballot summary and one copy shall be submitted to the Court. At that time it shall be marked as an exhibit for the plan proponent.
