LBR 3022-1 provides the procedure for use in a chapter 11 bankruptcy case after a plan is confirmed and it is time to close the case.

  • A chapter 11 case can be closed ON AN INTERIM BASIS if the debtor needs time to continue payments made under the plan.
  • A chapter 11 case can be closed WITH A FINAL DECREE if the plan is substantially consummated and if administrative actions are completed and if all other activities in the case are completed.

The court offers one form motion and one form order that can be used in either situation.  See links below
