9013-1(b)-(c):  Motions: 6 Types of DUE PROCESS and NOTICE

FRBP 9013 and FRBP 9014 are national rules for filing and serving motions.

Local Bankruptcy Rules 9013-1 and 9075-1 provide more specific rules for providing notice of the procedure being used to obtain a ruling on the motion.

In our district, there are six types of giving notice that provide due process to other parties:

1.  There will be a hearing on 21-42 days of notice -- LBR 9013-1(b)-(d)
2.  There may be a hearing and, if so, it will be on fewer than 21 days of notice -- LBR 9075-1(b) 
3.  There may be a hearing and, if so, it will be on 48 hours of notice or less -- LBR 9075-1(a) 
4.  There may be a hearing, if a party requests a hearing -- LBR 9013-1(o)
5.  There will not be a hearing; only a few parties have to be served by U.S. Mail with the motion -- LBR 9013-1(p) 
6.  There will not be a hearing; no parties have to be served by U.S. Mail with the motion -- LBR 9013-1(q) 

After you determine the due process procedure that applies to your situation, consult LBR 9013-1(c) for requirements that will assist in preparing a notice of motion.
