CONSIDERATION OF DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS IN NON-SUB V

SMALL BUSINESS CASES AND CONFIRMATION DEADLINES (a) Expedited Processing in Non-Sub V Small Business Cases If the proponent of a plan in a Non-Sub V Case requests that the Court: (1) determine that the plan itself provides adequate information and that a separate disclosure statement is not necessary; (2) approve a disclosure statement submitted on an approved official form; or (3) conditionally approve a disclosure statement subject to final approval at a hearing where the Court will also consider confirmation of the proposed plan, the proponent shall file a notice along with the proposed plan or disclosure statement. The notice shall specify why the relief requested is appropriate. A sample Notice of Proposed Expedited Processing of Non-Sub V Small Business Case is available on the Court’s website. Deadlines (b) At the hearing on a request under subparagraph (a) of this rule the Court may also, either on its own initiative or at the request of a party in interest, consider whether a deadline for confirming a proposed plan should be extended.
