Among the time-computation amendments to the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that will take effect on December 1, 2009, are changes to 12 rules that will result in a reduction by one day (from 15 to 14 days) of the time to take action. The affected rules are Bankruptcy Rules 1007, 1019, 1020, 2015, 2015.1, 2016, 3015, 4001, 4002, 6004, 6007, and 8009. Please take note of these changes and particularly of the new 14-day deadline for filing schedules, statements, and other documents under Rule 1007(c); for filing a chapter 13 plan under Rule 3015(b); and for filing appellate briefs under Rule 8009(a).

Recently, we upgraded CM/ECF to version 3.3.3.   The biggest change is the login screen which will require you to check a box saying that you are complying with the redaction rules.   Click "READ MORE" button for an illustration.

You may also need to update your Bankruptcy preparation software to accommodate the upgrade.  

The court has adopted three new Standing Orders to implement Interim Federal and Local Rules.  Each of these Standing Orders becomes effective December 1, 2009 to accommodate Federal Rule deadline changes.
