IN MATTER OF KRONTZ (Bankr.N.D.Ind. 2005)


IN THE MATTER OF: JOSHUA A. KRONTZ, Debtor.

Case No. 05-10768.United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. Indiana, Fort Wayne Division.
June 10, 2005

DECISION AND ORDER
ROBERT GRANT, Bankruptcy Judge

The notice of motion and opportunity to object which Union Federal Bank (hereinafter “Movant”) served in connection with its motion for relief from stay and abandonment does not comply with the requirements of N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-2002-2 because:

a. The notice does not state the date upon which the motion was filed. N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-2002-2(c)(2).
b. The notice was issued and served before the motion was filed. Can the opportunity to object to particular relief begin to run before that relief is requested?

Since creditors and parties in interest have not been given appropriate notice of the motion 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 motion being denied without prejudice and without further notice.

SO ORDERED.
