LBR 9075-1
TNMB Website – ECF Docketing LBR 9075-1 Motion
The Court has developed procedures to assist parties who, on rare instances, need “action on notice shorter than that fixed by the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure or by LBR 9013-1 or LBR 9014-1.” These procedures are found in LBR 9075-1, Emergency Motions and Orders, and in the CM/ECF menu options.
The local rules contemplate three scenarios for requesting expedited relief. Under the first scenario, a party may request an expedited hearing to resolve a matter by ruling and Court order. Under the second and third scenarios, the matter has been resolved by ruling or agreement, and an order is being requested that memorializes and enforces that resolution.
At one time, the Court mandated that motions for requested relief be filed separately from the motion to expedite the matter. Parties should now file a single document moving the Court for relief and asking that the matter be heard on an expedited basis. The Party should then upload a proposed Order for the Court to
set a hearing on the expedited matter and should label the order as “Expedited” when uploading to the Court.
Filing a 9013-1 matter as expedited event in CM/ECF:
