December 1, 2017 Rules and Forms Changes

Friday, December 1, 2017

As previously announced, the revised Chapter 13 Plan (CSD 1300) is now effective. A revised set of Guidelines for Using Mandatory Chapter 13 Plan (CSD 1300a) is also available.

Also effective are the revised Chapter 13 Rights & Responsibilities - Consumer (Word and PDF versions), and the Chapter 13 Rights & Responsibilities - Business (Word and PDF versions) documents. They can be found on the Court Forms page.

The Local Bankruptcy Rules (LBRs) were amended by General Order 173-C to reflect the change to the form number for the Mandatory Chapter 13 Plan. A revised PDF file of the LBRs can be downloaded here.

We have also uploaded a revised (12/1) Voluntary Petition (101) and included the revised form in each of the Petition packages for Individuals.

Finally, a series of changes have been made the CM/ECF to reflect national rule (FRBP) changes that became effective today. Most are the result of changes to the deadlines for proof of claims.  See http://www.uscourts.gov/news/2017/12/01/new-bankruptcy-form-rules-take-effect.
