LOCAL BANKRUPTCY RULES

Rule 1002-1

FILING OF PETITION

A petition commencing a case under the Bankruptcy Code may be filed in any office of the Clerk or by electronic means established by the Court.

 

Comment

This rule is derived from Former Local Bankruptcy Rule 9(a). Local Bankruptcy Rule 5005-2 permits filing by electronic means to the extent permitted by any standing orders issued by the Court. Procedures for filing by electronic means are governed by General Order M-242 and any amendments or supplemental standing orders of the Court. Copies of General Order M-242, as well as any amendments or subsequent standing orders on this subject, may be obtained from the Clerk and are available on the Court's website at www.nysb.uscourts.gov.
