3015-1(b)(2): Chapter 13: FILING BANKRUPTCY: Deadlines: Extension
FRBP 1007 provides deadlines for filing nearly all documents needed to begin and continue a bankruptcy case.
- Some forms must be filed the same day as the petition is filed.
- Other forms must be filed within 72 hours of filing a bankruptcy petition.
- Remaining forms must be filed within 14-days of filing a bankruptcy petition.
LBR 3015-1(b)(2) indicates that a debtor must comply with LBR 1007-1 in order to apply for an extension of the filing deadline.
- If a debtor requests more time to file these documents, the court has a form motion. See link below. An extension of time is not guaranteed, and it is the discretion of the bankruptcy judge to extend a deadline.
See also section 1-07 of The Central Guide for more information about deadlines, orders to comply, and notices of deficiency.
