2026) (a) Notice Required. Notices regarding motions to compromise or settle filed under FRBP 9019 shall state the nature of the controversy and the terms of the compromise. No notice is required with respect to settlements of actions arising under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a), unless directed otherwise by the Court. Motions to compromise or settle that include dismissal of a complaint objecting to discharge under 11 U.S.C. § 727 shall comply with LBR 7041-1, Dismissing Adversary Proceedings.

(b) Adversary Proceedings. If all or part of an adversary proceeding has been compromised or settled, a motion to compromise shall be filed in the bankruptcy case, and not in the adversary proceeding.
