The Court may enter an order directing a party who commences an adversary
proceeding or contested matter to deposit with the court reporter such sums as the Judge may
determine are necessary to pay the court reporting expense. The order also may state that the
adversary proceeding or contested matter may be dismissed without prejudice if the deposit is not
made.
Comment
This rule is derived from Former Local Bankruptcy Rule 12.
Local Bankruptcy Rule 9023-1(b) governs the taxing of
costs of court reporting services.
