Initial Confirmation Hearing

Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, an initial hearing on plan confirmation shall be held in every case no earlier than twenty (20) days and not later than forty-five (45) days after the date first scheduled for the meeting of creditors under Code § 341(a). Notice of the initial confirmation hearing shall be consistent with FRBP 2002(b)(3). The debtor, the trustee, and any creditor who objected timely and whose objection remains outstanding must attend the initial confirmation hearing.

Notes 2026:  Rule amended to set an initial confirmation hearing in every case. The Rule further requires the debtor, the trustee, and any creditor whose timely objection remains unresolved to attend the initial confirmation hearing.
