Amended Local Rule 2002-1 (h) and (i) on Returned and Undeliverable Notices

As a result of procedural changes at the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) regarding the disposition of Returned or Undeliverable Notices, the Court amended LBR 2002-1 subsections (h) and (i) to comport with current procedures. Subsection (h) was modified to change the responsibility of resolving undeliverable notices from the Clerk’s Office to pro se debtors. Subsection (i) was modified to include pro se debtors and to remove reference to the Clerk’s Instruction certification form because the BNC now provides a notice of non-mailing for undeliverable mail. Direction to provide a correct address or report an address as undeliverable has also been added to the rule. The updated local rules can be found here.
