20-3 GENERAL ORDER ADOPTING INTERIM RULES AND NOTICE OF AMENDED OFFICIAL FORMS

In General Order No. 20-1, this court adopted Interim Rules relating to the Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019 (“SBRA”), including Interim Rule 1020.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), enacted March 27, 2020, necessitates a revision to Interim Rule 1020.

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §2071, Rule 83 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and Rule 9029 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, it is hereby ORDERED as follows:

  1. The SBRA-related Interim Rules, with the revision of Interim Rule 1020 necessitated by the CARES Act, are attached hereto and are adopted in their entirety without change by the judges of this Court, effective April 23, 2020. This General Order 20-3 revises General Order No. 20-1 only to add the change, effective April 23, 2020, to Interim Rule 1020 necessitated by the CARES Act. General Order No. 20-1 remains effective as to filings made before April 23, 2020. For cases and proceedings not governed by the SBRA, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and the Local Rules of this Court, other than the SBRA Interim Rules, shall apply.
     
  2. Notice is given that the Judicial Conference’s Advisory Committee on Bankruptcy Rules has approved conforming technical changes to five bankruptcy forms to accommodate CARES Act amendments to the Bankruptcy Code. Those forms are Official Forms 101, 122A-1, 122B, 122C-1 and 201, which may be found at https://www.uscourts.gov/forms/bankruptcy-forms. The Committee Notes to the Official Forms explain the changes to these forms.

The SBRA Interim Rules attached to this order remain in effect until further order of the Court or until superseded by subsequent Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure or local rule.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 22, 2020
