UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY
NOTICE TO THE BAR AND PUBLIC
CONCERNING LOCAL FORM CHANGES
Please be advised that the Board of Judges of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey has approved changes to certain of the Court’s mandatory Local Forms.
The changes are effective immediately and impact the following Local Forms:
- Application for Order Shortening Time – This application has been modified to require applicants to identify the date by which the underlying motion must be heard based on the circumstances of the case.
- Order Shortening Time Period for Notice, Setting Hearing and Limiting Notice – This order has been modified to include Zoom hearing information, if applicable.
- Order Granting Application for Payment of Unclaimed Funds – This order previously required form Request for Payee Information and TIN Certification (AO213P)1 to be filed upon entry of the order. This requirement has been deleted, as form Request for Payee Information and TIN Certification (AO213P) must now accompany an Application for Payment of Unclaimed Funds.
- Mediation Report – This form has been modified to clarify what the parties must file to effectuate dismissal and closing of the case.
The above-referenced revised forms are attached for ease of reference and will also be posted on the Court’s website, www.njb.uscourts.gov.
