(a)   Expedited Processing in Non-Sub V Small Business Cases

If the proponent of a plan in a Non-Sub V Case requests that the Court:

(1)     determine that the plan itself provides adequate information and that a separate disclosure statement is not necessary;

(2)     approve a disclosure statement submitted on an approved official form; or

(3)     conditionally approve a disclosure statement subject to final approval at a hearing where the Court will also consider confirmation of the proposed plan,

the proponent shall file a notice along with the proposed plan or disclosure statement. The notice shall specify why the relief requested is appropriate. A sample Notice of Proposed Expedited Processing of Non-Sub V Small Business Case is available on the Court’s website.

(b)   Deadlines

At the hearing on a request under subparagraph (a) of this rule the Court may also, either on its own initiative or at the request of a party in interest, consider whether a deadline for confirming a proposed plan should be extended.
