This rule is new and its application is limited to the noted

Bankruptcy Code Provision set forth therein. In promulgating this rule, the Court is exercising its discretion to extend time, as governed by FRBP 9006, thereby eliminating the need to file a “bridge order” in such an instance. [New Rule effective 08/01/17.] RULE 9010-1 REPRESENTATION AND APPEARANCES; POWERS OF ATTORNEY Requirement for Counsel: Except for filing or withdrawing a proof of claim, notice of mortgage payment change, notice of postpetition mortgage fees, expenses, and charges, response to a notice of final cure payment, request for notices or notice/service, notice of appearance, reaffirmation agreement, creditor change of address, transfer of claim or a transcript of court proceedings, no party or entity other than a natural person acting in his or her own behalf or, to the extent permitted by §304(g) of Pub. L. 103-394, a child support enforcement agency, may appear in a bankruptcy case or proceeding, sign pleadings, or perform any act constituting the practice of law except by counsel permitted to appear under LBR 2090-1. This Local Bankruptcy Rule applies to corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, associations, and trusts, as well as to individuals acting in a representative capacity (such as under a power of attorney) for another.

Any pleading or paper, other than those set forth in this Local Bankruptcy Rule, filed on behalf of an entity that is not a natural person acting in his or her own behalf and not signed by counsel permitted to appear under LBR 2090-1 shall be stricken by the Clerk unless the deficiency is cured within 14 days of the mailing or delivery of a notice of deficiency. In the case of a petition, the Clerk shall issue a notice that the debtor either must (A) cure the deficiency within 14 days of the mailing or delivery of such notice; or (B) attend a hearing to explain why the case should not be dismissed, unless excused by the Court or the Court deems the deficiency cured and cancels the hearing. 95 RULE 9013-1 MOTIONS PRACTICE 9010-1 [New rule effective 2/1/00.] Comments
