III. Orders
- Submission of Orders. The procedure for entry of an order in a contested matter or adversary proceeding is set forth in L.B.R. 9021-1. The mechanism to submit an order electronically is contained in ECF Procedure 7. If an order is submitted electronically but does not conform to L.B.R. 9021-1 and ECF Procedure 7, the Court will not enter it, but will instead send an email response to the person who submitted the proposed order, explaining why it was not entered.
- Orders to show cause. Orders to show cause are issued by the Court. Orders to show cause will not be issued upon motion by a party, as there is no provision in the Bankruptcy Rules authorizing a party to request an order to show cause.
- Inquiries to chambers regarding status or orders. Telephone calls to chambers concerning the status of orders that have been submitted for entry are strongly discouraged unless the order pertains to (1) a request for expedited hearing or shortening of time to file a pleading or take other action; (2) a time sensitive matter; or (3) an order that has been submitted for entry for more than seven days. In the event that an inquiry must be made, it shall be directed to Cheryl London.
