Case No. 03-14978.United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. Indiana, Fort Wayne Division.
September 8, 2005
DECISION AND ORDER
ROBERT GRANT, Bankruptcy Judge
The notice of motion and opportunity to object which counsel for the debtor (hereinafter “Movant”) served in connection with their application for compensation does not comply with the requirements of N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-2002-2 because:
a. The stated deadline for filing objections, September 6, 2005, is only fifteen (15) days after the date of the notice and creditors are entitled to at least twenty (20) days notice of the opportunity to file objections. N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-2002-2(b)(1).
b. The certificate of service accompanying the notice states that a copy of the attached notice was served on the parties on the attached list and no list is attached to the certificate. N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-2002-2; N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-9013-4.
Since creditors and parties in interest have not been given appropriate notice of the application and the opportunity to object thereto, the court cannot grant it at this time. Movant shall prepare and serve an Amended Notice of Motion and Opportunity to Object which complies with N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-2002-2 and file proof thereto within fourteen (14) days of this date. See, N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-9013-4(a). The failure to do so will result in the application being denied without prejudice and without further notice.
SO ORDERED.
