As set forth within Amended General Order 25-0002, use of the new Official Forms  related to the recent Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 3002.1 (“Forms”) amendments is mandatory.  However, the Court’s ability to perform its customary degree of review of those pleadings designated as a “doc” within ECF (Notice of Mortgage Payment Change and Response to Trustee’s Notice of Disbursements Made) is limited.  The Court also anticipates that parties may tailor the language of other Forms (Motion Under Rule 3002.1(f)(1) to Determine the Status of the Mortgage Claim, Motion Under Rule 3002.1(g)(4) to Determine Final Cure and Payment of the Mortgage Claim, and responses thereto) to address their specific circumstances.  Accordingly, the Clerk’s Office shall relax its standard level of scrutiny as to these documents only.  Specifically, the Clerk’s Office will not issue a Notice of Deficient Filing (“NDF”) if the filer fails to use the most recent version of the Forms.  Parties will be responsible for bringing to the Court’s attention, by way of a motion, response, or other appropriate pleading, any issues that arise from the use of a document that does not substantially conform to the Form in question.  As to those Forms filed on the docket, NDFs will still be issued if the Form is filed without an appropriate Certificate of Service.  

The Court retains the right to review, and upon further notice to the bar and public, revise this process as circumstances warrant.
