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


IN THE MATTER OF: JAMES MICHAEL PERKINS Debtor.

Case No. 05-10504.United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. Indiana, Fort Wayne Division.
August 2, 2005

DECISION AND ORDER
ROBERT GRANT, Bankruptcy Judge

At Fort Wayne, Indiana, on August 2, 2005.

The notice of motion and opportunity to object which Americredit Financial Services (hereinafter “Movant”) served in connection with its agreed entry modifiying the debtor’s chapter 13 plan does not comply with the requirements of N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-2002-2 because:

a. The notice does not correctly state the date upon which the agreed entry was filed. N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-2002-2(c)(2). The agreed entry was filed on May 25, 2005, while the notice refers to an agreed entry filed on May 20, 2005.
b. The notice is not accompanied by a copy of the court’s order authorizing notice to creditors and establishing deadlines for filing objections. N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-2002-2(e).
c. The notice is not “dated as of the date it was served.” N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-2002-2(c)(7).

Since this is the second time that creditors and parties in interest have not been given appropriate notice of the agreed entry and the opportunity to object thereto, confirmation of the chapter 13 plan is DENIED, without prejudice to resubmission.

SO ORDERED.
