EXTENSION OF TIME TO PLEAD OR FILE MOTION

The deadline to plead or respond to a pleading (as the term pleading is defined by Federal Bankruptcy Rule 7007) in an adversary proceeding may be extended for a period of up to thirty (30) days by stipulation of the parties docketed with the Court or, for a longer period of time, by order of the Court. Any deadline extended pursuant to this Rule does not affect any other deadlines set forth in any scheduling order entered by the Court. Ver. 25.01 (December 1, 2025) 56 RULE 7012-3 MOTION TO DISMISS AN ADVERSARY PROCEEDING AGAINST A PARTY NOT REPRESENTED BY AN ATTORNEY Any motion seeking dismissal of an adversary proceeding in which the non-moving party is not represented by an attorney must attach as a cover sheet to such motion a separate notice in substantially the following form: NOTICE Your rights may be affected.

You should read these papers carefully and may wish to discuss them with an attorney. A motion to dismiss is a request that one or more claims in a case be decided without holding a trial. A motion to dismiss is governed by Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Your complaint, or the portions of your complaint that the motion seeks to dismiss, may be dismissed if the Court finds that the complaint does not contain sufficient factual allegations to grant the relief you have requested.

If you want to oppose the motion to dismiss, you must file with the Court and serve on the other party a written response opposing the motion to dismiss and stating the reasons for your opposition. Your opposition must be filed and served within fourteen (14) days after the service date of the motion, plus three (3) additional days if the motion was served on you by mail, unless otherwise ordered by the Court. If you file a written response, the Court may hold a hearing at a location and time set forth in a notice from the Clerk of Court. If you fail to file a timely written response to the motion, the Court may grant the motion, in whole or in part, without holding a hearing.

This will result in the termination of the proceeding, or some part of the proceeding, in favor of the moving party.
