IN MATTER OF CHAPMAN (Bankr.N.D.Ind. 2006)


IN THE MATTER OF JACQUELINE CHAPMAN Debtor.

Case No. 05-15682.United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. Indiana, Fort Wayne Division.
April 28, 2006

DECISION AND ORDER
ROBERT GRANT, Bankruptcy Judge

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

a. The certificate of service accompanying the notice indicates that additional parties were served by reference to an attached list. No such list was attached.
b. The notice does not correctly state the name of the motion. N.D. Ind. L.B.R. B-2002-2(c)(2). The request the court acts on is the motion that has been filed, see, Fed.R.Bankr.P. Rule 9013, not the order the court is asked to approve.

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.
