GENERAL ORDER
In order to expedite the resolution of controversies and to avoid the filing of unnecessary documents the court is enlarging the period set forth in L.B.R. 9013(a) as applicable to these kinds of motions and placing a strict standard for further enlargements.
All motions praying for dismissal or conversion shall state with particularity the facts and the legal grounds for the request, and shall include the following notice:
NOTICE
Unless a party in interest files an objection hereto within thirty (30) days from the date of this notice, the case may be dismissed or converted without the need of further notice or hearing.
The moving party will give notice of the motion to debtor, counsel if represented by one, and to the U.S. Trustee and/or the Standing Trustee when applicable, and to all those parties in interest who have filed in the case a notice of appearance.
Requests for enlargement of time to reply or oppose the motion for dismissal or conversion will be subject to strict standard and will not be granted unless good cause is shown. An attorney and/or party found having filed a frivolous request for extension of time will be subject to sanctions.
The present general Order is effective immediately and vacates and supersedes General order 97-01 of August 31, 1997.
