BRIEFS AND MEMORANDA OF LAW

A party must file with each motion a brief memorandum of fact and law entitling the movant to the relief claimed or a statement that no memorandum will be filed and that the movant will rely solely upon the motion. Ver. 25.01 (December 1, 2025) 76 RULE 9013-3 ORDERS - PROPOSED (a) In General. All requests for relief, other than those described in paragraph (b) below must be accompanied by a proposed order.

The proposed order must contain a specific title describing the nature and effect of the order, and the body of the order must specify the relief granted. The names and addresses of all attorneys, creditors, and other parties in interest who have a potential interest in, or whose rights might be affected by, the matter must be set forth in the lower left-hand corner of the final page of the proposed order or carried over to another page, provided, however, that only the name and “via CM/ECF” are required for any attorney who is receiving notices through CM/ECF in that case. The caption of the order must be in the same form as the caption of the motion. (b) Exceptions.

Paragraph (a) does not apply to motions for relief from the automatic stay, motions to dismiss or convert, Chapter 13 plans, motions to modify Chapter 13 plans, and pleadings initiating adversary proceedings under Federal Bankruptcy Rule 7001. (c) Motions for Relief from Stay. Proposed orders for motions for relief from the automatic stay must be submitted to the Court upon the earlier of: (1) A consent being reached by all parties; or (2) After the conclusion of the hearing on the motion. (d) Form Orders.

If the Court maintains a form order for the particular type of relief requested by a party, that party must submit a proposed order substantially similar to the Court’s form order. All forms are available on the Court’s website. Ver. 25.01 (December 1, 2025) 77 (a) In General.

Unless otherwise provided by the Federal Bankruptcy Rules or required by the Court, a certificate of service is required for every motion, objection, notice, or other pleading or paper filed with the Court. The certificate must be filed and served contemporaneously with the filing and service of the referenced pleading or paper. (b) Placement. The certificate must be placed at the end of the item served and endorsed by an attorney of record, the attorney’s authorized agent, or by a party if not represented by an attorney.

(c) Content. The certificate must state the date of service. (1) For each recipient who is served through CM/ECF, the certificate must also identify the name of the person served with the statement that service is via CM/ECF. The attorney or person not represented by an attorney filing the pleading or document is responsible to ensure that all persons listed as being served via CM/ECF are registered to receive CM/ECF notice in that case or must effectuate service by other appropriate means.

(2) For all other recipients, the certificate must separately identify the name, title (if applicable), and address of each person served and state the method of service. (d) Noticing Agents. Noticing agents authorized by the Court must make service in accordance with this Rule, except as otherwise provided in the order authorizing the employment of the noticing agent.
