Case No. 05-18373.United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. Indiana, Fort Wayne Division.
March 16, 2006
DECISION AND ORDER
ROBERT GRANT, Bankruptcy Judge
The notice of motion and opportunity to object which Hicksville Building, Loan and Savings 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 “contain a brief summary of the ground for the motion or have a copy of the motion attached to it.” N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-2002-2(c)(4). Although the notice states that a copy of the motion is attached to it, there is no attachment to the notice filed with the court.
b. The stated deadline for filing objections, December 26, 2005, is prior to the date of the notice and creditors are entitled to at least fifteen (15) days notice of the opportunity to file objections. N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-2002-2(b)(1).
c. There is no certificate of service accompanying the notice indicating to whom it may have been sent. 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 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.
