Effective October 17, 2005, Local Rules 3015-1(a) and 3015-3 [E.D. Ky. LBR 3015-1(a), E.D. Ky. LBR 3015-3] are hereby amended to read as follows:
Rule 3015-1. CHAPTER 13 — PLAN — SERVICE OF PLAN
(a) Form of Plan. A chapter 13 plan shall conform to Form No. 2 as revised 10/17/05.
Rule 3015-3. CHAPTER 13 — CONFIRMATION
(a) Objections to Confirmation. An objection to confirmation of a chapter 13 plan is governed by Rule 9014 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure. Such objection to confirmation, for any reason, including valuation, shall be filed with the court and served on the debtor, the attorney for the debtor and the chapter 13 trustee:
(1)(A) on or prior to the date first set for the meeting of creditors in all divisions except Lexington; and
(B) within ten (10) days after the date first set for the meeting of creditors in the Lexington division.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), an objection based on 11 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(8) by a creditor holding a claim for a domestic support obligation may be filed at any time prior to entry of the order confirming the plan.
(b) Hearing on Confirmation. Notice of the hearing on confirmation and of the deadline for filing objections to confirmation of a chapter 13 plan may be combined with the notice of the meeting of creditors given pursuant to Rule 2002 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure. If no objection to confirmation is timely filed, the court may, without a hearing, confirm the plan, and confirmation may occur earlier than 20 days after the date of the meeting of creditors under section 341(a).
(c) Order of Confirmation. The order of confirmation of a chapter 13 plan will be tendered by the chapter 13 trustee.
