Prepare now to avoid delays later!

On November 15, 2021, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada will go live on the Next Generation of CM/ECF (NextGen).

WHAT'S CHANGING

One of the benefits of NextGen is Central Sign-On. Attorneys/limited users will need to remember only one username and password to obtain access to e-filing in our Court and in all other NextGen courts (bankruptcy, district, and appellate) that have granted the user e-filing privileges. The same account will also provide access to all federal court cases and records that are available through PACER’s Case Search function.

ACTION REQUIRED BEFORE NOVEMBER 15, 2021

While filing documentation in NextGen will remain the same as with the current CM/ECF system, accessing NextGen for filing purposes will be different. Current electronic filers may start preparing for this change NOW by doing the following:

• Make sure you have an individual PACER account. A shared account that your whole firm or office uses is not sufficient.  If you do not already have an individual PACER account, you must create one before the court upgrades to NextGen. Creating an individual PACER account is free.
• Upgrade your PACER account. If your individual PACER account was created before August 11, 2014 or if your PACER username is only 6 characters long, it must be upgraded.
• Make sure you know your current CM/ECF Login and Password (you will need this to link your PACER account on or after November 15, 2021).

Detailed information regarding NextGen and instructions on how to prepare for the upgrade are available on the court’s website by accessing the following link: https://www.nvb.uscourts.gov/electronic-case-filing/nextgen/.

E-filers who fail to complete these steps will be unable to access the electronic filing system on or after November 15, 2021.

IMPLEMENTATION WEEKEND

We plan to implement NextGen during the period of November 12, 2021 through November 15, 2021. Our CM/ECF system will be unavailable for e-filing during the upgrade. Users will be able to resume e-filing on November 15, 2021 at 8:00 A.M. PST after they have linked their PACER account to CM/ECF. Prior to the NextGen implementation, we will post and email detailed instructions for logging onto NextGen for the first time.

ACTION REQUIRED ON OR AFTER NOVEMBER 15, 2021

After the court upgrades to NextGen on November 15, 2021, you must link your current CM/ECF account credentials to your upgraded individual PACER account. This is a one-time process that can be completed ONLY AFTER the court upgrades to NextGen. The court will notify you once the upgrade to NextGen has been completed so you may link your accounts.

Detailed information regarding linking instructions is available on the court’s website by accessing the following link: https://www.nvb.uscourts.gov/electronic-case-filing/nextgen/.

E-filers who fail to complete these steps will be unable to access the electronic filing system on or after November 15, 2021.

The Final Rule will become effective for all reports filed on or after June 21, 2021. Before the effective date, the USTP encourages bankruptcy professionals to engage with their local USTP offices to learn more about the Final Rule and forms and to be ready to file data embedded MORs and PCRs after June 21, 2021. Local USTP offices will make training available for bankruptcy professionals about completing, filing, and serving the new uniform MOR and PCR forms.

The uniform forms, and instructions for their use and filing, which may be periodically updated prior to the effective date, are available on the USTP's website: https://www.justice.gov/ust/chapter-11-operating-reports.

In addition to familiarizing themselves with the forms, practitioners should understand potential changes to applicable filing and service requirements. Unless otherwise provided by local rule, each report must be filed with the bankruptcy court no later than the 21st day of the month immediately following the covered reporting period.

Debtors in possession (DIP) should confer with local USTP representatives early in the case, whether at the initial debtor interview or some other initial meeting, to discuss the DIP’s reporting capabilities and the supplemental documentation that the DIP may be required to file in conjunction with the reports.

---

¹28 C.F.R. § 58.8.

² Small business and subchapter V debtors (including those covered by the temporarily expanded debt limits) file MORs on official forms promulgated by the Judicial Conference of the United States. See 11 U.S.C. §§ 308, 1187; Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2015 (a)(6); Official Bankruptcy Form 425C. Contact the U.S. Trustee in the district in which the case is pending for further instructions regarding post-confirmation reporting requirements in small business and subchapter V cases.

A potential compromise of the confidentiality of CM/ECF systems due to discovered vulnerabilities currently is under investigation. Due to the nature of the attacks, the review of this matter and its impact is ongoing. The attack appears to impact highly sensitive, sealed documents submitted and stored on the CM/ECF electronic docket.

  The Local Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada require that sealed documents be filed in paper form over the counter pursuant to Local Rule 9018. We have preliminarily concluded that no highly sensitive documents sealed documents are currently stored on our electronic docket, and further, that no changes are required to our current CM/ECF filing procedures and protocols arising from these identified vulnerabilities. The Court continues to monitor and evaluate ongoing developments around these issues for impact on its systems and CM/ECF users. Please see the referenced article for additional information:

  PRESS RELEASE

  It is with great sadness that we share with you that the Honorable Judge Lloyd D. George passed away this morning. Judge George was ninety years old.

  Judge George devoted his life to his family and to serving his country and the rule of law. Born in Montpelier, Idaho, he was raised in Las Vegas. His passion for this city was readily apparent from his stories of his youth, which he was always willing to share. He graduated from Las Vegas High School and Brigham Young University, serving both institutions as a student body president. After earning his wings as a jet fighter pilot in the Air Force, he earned his law degree in 1961 from the University of California at Berkeley (Berkeley Law).

  After law school, he returned to Las Vegas and he built a successful private law practice. His career as a federal jurist began in 1974 with his appointment to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan appointed Judge George as a U.S. District Judge for the District of Nevada. He served as the District Court’s chief judge from 1992 to 1997, and assumed senior status in 1997.
  In 1996, Judge George was selected to represent the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit as a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States, and was also appointed by Chief Justice Rehnquist to the Conference’s Executive Committee. Prior to his appointment to the Judicial Conference, he held membership for a number of years on three Judicial Conference committees and was the chair of two.

  Judge George became a distinguished expert in the organization of the judiciary, and was eager to share his knowledge worldwide. While serving on the International Judicial Relations Committee from 1993-1997, Judge George and other judicial colleagues from various countries participated in numerous seminars in Eastern Europe and the nations of the former Soviet Union, lecturing on constitutional issues, court structure, and the critical importance of the rule of law. He continued this international service through 2015, annually hosting the educational visits to Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas of judicial colleagues from numerous countries.

  Judge George authored articles on the administration of the federal judiciary, ethics and insolvency. For his public service, he won many awards, including the Brigham Young University Alumni Distinguished Service Award, the Notre Dame Club’s John C. Mowbray Humanitarian of the Year Award, the Judge D. Lowell & Barbara Jensen Public Service Award from his alma mater, the School of Law at the University of California at Berkeley, and the Boy Scouts of America Silver Beaver Award.

  The extent of Judge George’s public service is, perhaps, best reflected in an honor bestowed upon the entire District of Nevada: the naming of the federal courthouse, situated between the Fifth Street Elementary School and Las Vegas High School Judge George attended as a youth, as the Lloyd D. George Federal Courthouse.

  Judge George will be remembered as a judges’ judge and a mentor to all of us on the federal bench. In honor of Judge George, the flags at the federal courthouses in Nevada will be flown at half-staff today and tomorrow.

Nakagawa of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada. He will begin his second 14-year term on September 1, 2020.

  Judge Nakagawa, who maintains chambers in Las Vegas, has served on the bankruptcy court for the District of Nevada since 2006. Prior to his appointment to the bench, he practiced bankruptcy and business law in Northern California for more than 20 years. Judge Nakagawa taught bankruptcy law and business reorganization at McGeorge School of Law, and also served on the Sacramento County Civil Service Commission for more than 10 years. He served as a bankruptcy resolution advocate for both the U.S. District Court and U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California. Judge Nakagawa also provided a variety of pro bono services through the voluntary Legal Services Program for Sacramento County.

  Born in Modesto, California, Judge Nakagawa received his bachelor’s degree from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, in 1977. He received his juris doctorate from the University of California, Davis, in 1980. While in law school, Judge Nakagawa was a member of the law review as well as a tutor in civil procedure. Following law school, he had an extended judicial clerkship with Chief Judge Philip C. Wilkins of the U.S. District Court for Eastern District of California from 1980 to 1984.

  The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada, which is authorized 1 temporary and 3 bankruptcy judgeships, reported 10,046 new filings in 2019, up 6.8 percent from 2018.

  Bankruptcy judges serve a 14-year renewable term and handle all bankruptcy-related matters under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit have statutory responsibility for selecting and appointing bankruptcy judges in the nine western states that comprise the Ninth Circuit. The court uses a comprehensive merit selection process for the initial appointment. For reappointments, the court conducts a performance review and considers public comment evaluations.

  ]]> Site Update https://www.nvb.uscourts.gov/news-rss/announcements/2020/0513-court-hearing-participation-video/ http://www.nvb.uscourts.gov/announcements/item762 Wed, 13 May 2020 15:00:00 GMT Preparing properly as a case participant for video conferencing will ensure all involved will have a good experience and avoid unnecessary delay.  It is important that you pay close attention to this guidance and it is strongly recommended that you familiarize yourself with this software before participating in a court hearing.

  Important Reminder: Persons participating in video proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Any recording of a court proceeding held by video or teleconference, including “screen-shots” or other visual or audio copying of a hearing, is absolutely prohibited. Violation of these prohibitions may result in sanctions, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the court. 

  Before Every Video Conferencing Court Session Using Zoom

  1. Connect your device to power.
  2. Make sure your internet connection is good:
     https://www.speedtest.net/
  3. Test your video.
  4. Test your audio.
  5. Turn off all audio disruptions (phones, messaging alerts, email alerts, etc.)
  6. Run a quick test to connect with another Zoom user, or use the Zoom test:
     https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115002262083-Joining-a-test-meeting

  Zoom Account and Software

  1. Participants: You can attend a Zoom hearing on your iPhone/Android with the Zoom App or you can attend from a computer via a browser (Chrome is highly recommended) at https://www.zoomgov.com/.
  2. It is not necessary to register with Zoom in order to participate in court hearings.  Rather, the Court will send to you an email invitation containing the meeting ID and password when you are scheduled to attend.  This information will be necessary when attending via a mobile device. Please note that meeting information should be considered sensitive and only be used by the parties involved in the hearing.  If using your computer (i.e.: desktop or laptop) you can use the meeting link provided in the invitation email.
  3. Always keep your App or browsers up to date for security purposes. 
  4. The Court strongly recommends the use of earphones with a microphone for participants to allow the audio quality of your participation to be sufficiently captured for the court record.
  5. Attendees: Zoom video viewing for non-case participants (such as the media or the public) is not available at this time.  Attendees interested in listening to a hearing via telephone should refer to the instructions found on the court’s website for telephonic hearings.
     

  Recommendations

  1. Avoid using an open microphone and speakers (such as are built-into laptops, or a webcam mic). Using a good quality headset (headphones with mic) will often help ensure you can be heard and can hear others with maximum quality.
  2. Mute your phone and mute all sounds from all other applications (email notifications, chat messaging, etc.).
  3. Avoid using a mobile device if possible. Although tablets (iPads) and smartphones can be used, they are very limited, and the performance is inferior.
  4. Avoid using battery power only (laptops, etc.). Plug into a good power source while in a Zoom meeting.
  5. Avoid noisy and echoing locations. Use of a headset will improve audio quality when this is unavoidable.
  6. Avoid distracting real or virtual backgrounds. Suitable example: ZoomGrey01.jpg
  7. Avoid poor camera positioning (if possible). Try to frame yourself so you take up most the screen, and at eye level.
  8. Avoid using Wi-Fi if possible. Connection via a hard-wire Ethernet cable will always be faster and more reliable than Wi-Fi. If you must use Wi-Fi, make sure you’re in close range.
  9. Avoid running any unnecessary applications besides Zoom, to conserve your computer’s processing power and networking.
  10. For home networks, if possible, avoid sharing your internet service with others during the session.

  Settings

  Zoom has a lot of settings, and as Zoom updates their system they may change.  Below are a few settings recommended by the Court to improve your video conference.

  • General: Ask me to confirm when I leave a meeting: ON (Helps prevent unintended departures)
  • Video: Enable HD: OFF (Helps prevent poor video performance, and usually looks just as good as HD)
  • Video: Always display participant names on their video: ON
  • Video: Always show video preview dialog when joining a video meeting: ON (Final check for you to see how you will appear, before your video displays to others.)

  Learning

  The court will only be using the audio and video functionality of Zoom. Other functions like text chat, screen sharing, etc., may not be used, and will likely be disabled for your session, so you only need to learn the basics of using Zoom for audio and video. Learn how to select the correct source for both, and how to mute/unmute your audio, and Start/Stop your video:

  • Audio: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/sections/200319096-Audio

  Administrative Order 2020-10: Adoption of Interim Bankruptcy Rules Relating to SBRA Interim Rules with Revisions Necessitated by CARES Act; and Notice of Amended Official Forms
  Effective: April 22, 2020

  ]]> Site Update https://www.nvb.uscourts.gov/news-rss/announcements/2020/0415-revised-forms/ http://www.nvb.uscourts.gov/announcements/item755 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 15:00:00 GMT On March 27, 2020, Congress passed and the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") into law. Section 1113 of that legislation made several changes to the Bankruptcy Code, most of them temporary, to provide financial assistance during the coronavirus crisis. The CARES Act is effective April 2020.

  The enactment of the CARES Act requires one-year amendments to five official forms to account for a new definition of "debtor" applicable to subchapter V of chapter 11 and a new exclusion from the definitions of "current monthly income" and "disposable income." Because the Act took effect immediately upon enactment and its bankruptcy provisions are of limited duration, the Advisory Committee on Bankruptcy Rules has exercised the authority delegated to it by the Judicial Conference to make conforming technical changes to five bankruptcy forms (Official Forms 101, 122A-1, 122B, 122C-1, and 201).

  • Official Form 101 – Voluntary Petition for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy
  • Official Form 201 – Voluntary Petition for Non-Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy
  • Official Form 122A-1 – Chapter 7 Statement of Your Current Monthly Income
  • Official Form 122B – Chapter 11 Statement of Your Current Monthly Income
  • Official Form 122C-1 – Chapter 13 Statement of Your Current Monthly Income and Calculation of Commitment Period

The President of the United States recently declared a national emergency in response to the public health risk posed by exposure to COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention classified COVID-19 as a pandemic and advised the general public to take precautions necessary to reduce the possibility of exposure to the virus in order to slow the spread of the disease. The Governor of the State of Nevada has declared a public health emergency throughout the state in response to the spread of COVID-19 in Nevada. During a March 17, 2020 press conference, Governor Sisolak stated that all Nevadans should stay home to protect family and the public. Yesterday, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Chief Judge Sidney R. Thomas announced the cancellation of the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference that had been scheduled for July 27 – 30, 2020 in Portland, Oregon.

  Mindful of those developments, in consultation with Chief Judge Du, in view of the considerable health risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and with considerable regret, the Co-Chairs of the 2020 Nevada District Court Conference have decided that it is necessary to cancel that Conference, which had been scheduled for Tuesday, May 19, 2020. The cancellation decision was a difficult one, but the health and safety of all of us must remain the highest priority. We do not know with any certainty how long this outbreak will last.

  The 2020 Nevada District Court Conference Planning Committee did an outstanding job in developing what was certain to be an exceptional Conference in 2020. The tentative date for the 2021 Nevada District Court Conference is Thursday, May 20, 2021 at the Joe Crowley Student Union on the UNR Campus.

  Please mark your calendars accordingly, stay safe, and stay in good health.

  Sincerely,

  / s /

  Hon. August B. Landis, United States Bankruptcy Judge

You may be placed on hold until the courtroom deputy activates the conference call, or you may hear others speaking. Another hearing may be in progress; do not announce your presence until the courtroom deputy takes roll call or your hearing is called.

  TELEPHONE HEARING REQUIREMENTS

  1. The Procedure

     2. Five minutes before your hearing time, you must call in on the applicable hearing line.
  2. Minimize Outside Noise and Distractions
     1. Telephone hearings are amplified throughout the courtroom so you may be asked to call again if your connection is weak, creates static or disruptive noise.
     2. Minimize background noise by not using a “speaker” option or headset. Do not use a keyboard or talk with others in the room.
     3. Mute your phone when you are not speaking. If you do not have a mute function on your phone, press *6 to mute and *6 again to unmute to speak. Do not put the court on hold. If available, set the phone to "Do Not Disturb" so it will not ring during the hearing
  3. What to Do When You Are on the Conference Line
     1. Do not announce your presence until the court calls your case.
     2. Stay on the line, even if there is only silence, until the judge starts the hearings, and then continue to listen quietly until your case is called.
  4. What to Do When your Case is Called
     1. Unless otherwise directed by the Court, when your case is called, the moving party will speak first. Identify yourself every time you speak.
     2. The Court will control who will speak and how the hearing will be held.
     3. When the court calls your case, it is helpful if the moving party speaks first to avoid multiple parties speaking at the same time.
  5. Don’t be Late to a Hearing

  If you are late, then the Court, at its discretion, may trail your hearing and/or deny or grant the applicable motion.

  6. Civility
     1. Be civil on the phone with the Court and other counsel.
     2. Do not interrupt others.
     3. Do not yell into the phone.

The adjustments will apply to cases filed on or after April 1, 2019.

  The Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 104(a), provides the Judicial Conference make automatic adjustments of certain dollar amounts at three-year intervals. The adjustment reflects changes in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers for the most recent three-year period ending immediately before the year in which the adjustment is made and rounded to the nearest $25. The Conference has delegated that authority to the Administrative Office. The revised dollar amounts were published on February 12, 2019 in volume 84, number 29, of the Federal Register at pages 3,488-89. The adjusted dollar amounts will affect, among other matters:

  • the eligibility of a debtor to file under chapters 12 and 13 of the Bankruptcy Code;
  • the definition of a small business debtor;
  • certain maximum values of property that a debtor may claim as exempt;
  • the maximum amount of certain claims entitled to priority;
  • the calculation of the “means test” for chapter 7 debtors;
  • the duration of a chapter 13 plan;
  • the minimum aggregate value of claims needed to commence an involuntary bankruptcy case;
  • the minimum value for trustee avoidance actions; and
  • the value of “luxury goods and services” deemed to be nondischargeable where the trustee may commence certain proceedings to recover a money judgment or property.

  The Official Forms and Director's Forms impacted with dollar amount adjustments include:

  • Official Form 106C, The Property You Claim as Exempt
  • Official Form 107, Your Statement of Financial Affairs for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy
  • Official Form 122A-2, Chapter 7 Means Test Calculation
  • Official Form 122C-2, Chapter 13 Calculation of Your Disposable Income
  • Official Form 201, Voluntary Petition for Non-Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy
  • Official Form 207, Statement of Your Financial Affairs for Non-Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy
  • Official Form 410, Proof of Claim
  • Director's Form 2000, Required Lists, Schedules, Statements, and Fees
  • Director's Form 2830, Chapter 13 Debtor's Certifications Regarding Domestic Support Obligations and Section 522(q)

  The revised forms have been posted to the Pending Changes in the Bankruptcy Forms page. Once effective, the revised forms will be available on the Bankruptcy Forms page.

  The Annual Report of the Director highlights the agency’s efforts to increase efficiencies, contain costs, and adopt innovative approaches in its mission of serving the federal Judiciary and the dedicated people who work for the Third Branch of government.

  The second report, the 2016 Judicial Business of the United States Courts, provides statistical tables about federal cases filed by circuit, district, and offense or nature of suit, among many other topics. A multi-year comparison of judicial caseload indicators is included.

  The reports fulfill the statutory requirement for the AO to report annually on its activities and the state of business of the U.S. courts.

  ]]> Site Update http://www.nvb.uscourts.gov/news-rss/announcements/2017/0309-email/ http://www.nvb.uscourts.gov/announcements/item501 Thu, 09 Mar 2017 14:00:00 GMT Beginning Tuesday, March 7, e-filers who have their domains hosted by GoDaddy may not have received all their e-mailed Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) sent by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court’s CM/ECF system.

  On that day, GoDaddy began “rate-limiting” e-mails which originated from CM/ECF. Rate-limiting restricts the number of messages that are allowed to reach the intended recipient and subsequently rejects those that exceed the threshold. Those rejected notices were returned to the originating court with the message “This IP has sent too many messages this hour.” It is unclear at this time the number of emails GoDaddy was allowing through their gateway per hour per recipient.

  The court has attempted to re-send the email, but GoDaddy’s newly implemented policy continues to prohibit delivery. A representative of the U.S. Courts is in contact with GoDaddy and is attempting to resolve the issue.

  If your domain is hosted by GoDaddy, you should log in to CM/ECF, review your cases for activity and download those NEF’s and associated pdf’s that you did not receive. Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Clerk's office is unable to re-send the electronic notices and you will need to go through PACER.

Ross ("Herb"), 82, passed away on February 16, 2017, in Anchorage, Alaska, with his devoted, loving wife, Donna Ross, at his side. The cause of death was amyloidosis, a rare and fatal heart disease.

  Judge Ross was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He received his B.A. from Western Reserve University in 1958, where he majored in psychology, and his J.D. from the University of San Francisco in 1964. He was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1964, and the Alaska bar in 1966. In 1967, he became a partner in the law firm of Ross & Tunley with offices in Anchorage and Seward, Alaska. He opened his own office in Anchorage in 1974, where he specialized in commercial and bankruptcy law. In 1986, he was appointed as a bankruptcy judge for the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Alaska. He proudly held this position for more than 30 years, once writing that he considered it "serendipity to have been appointed to the best job he could have ever hoped to have." He presided over some of Alaska’s most significant and infamous bankruptcy cases, including the Peter Zamarello, MarkAir, Inc., and RaeJean Bonham cases. After his retirement in 2000, Judge Ross was recalled to serve in Alaska, and later in the District of Nevada as well.

  Judge Ross was a remarkably effective mediator. He received a degree from the Straus Institute for Conflict Resolution at Pepperdine School of Law, and served as a mediator for various courts throughout the Ninth Circuit during his judicial career, including the last nine years as a settlement judge in Las Vegas, Nevada. He continued to work up to his illness, successfully mediating one of the largest and most complicated cases to come before him while on his last trip to Las Vegas.

  Many know Judge Ross as a voracious reader, always eager to discuss new ideas involving law and society. In his early years in Alaska, he had also been a pilot and marathon runner. Judge Ross was a very kind, warm, gentle, witty human being who will be deeply missed by his wife Donna, his family, and his friends, including his court families in both Anchorage and Las Vegas.

  The National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys issued a warning that "Under no circumstances would a bankruptcy attorney or staff member telephone a client and ask for a wire transfer immediately to satisfy a debt. Nor would the bankruptcy attorney and staff ever threaten arrest if a debt isn't paid."

  Bankruptcy filers in Vermont and Virginia reportedly have received calls. Vermont's Attorney General says scammers use software to "spoof" the Caller ID system so the call appears to be originating from the phone line of the consumer's bankruptcy attorney. Typically the calls come late in the evening or during non-business hours to make it difficult for intended victims to verify the call by contacting their attorney.

  Consumers receiving this kind of call are advised to hang up and contact their bankruptcy attorney as soon as possible. Do not give any personal or financial account information to the caller.

  Bankruptcy Forms Changes

  Most of the Official Bankruptcy Forms are scheduled to be replaced with substantially revised, reformatted and renumbered versions if approved by the Judicial Conference at its September 2015 meeting.

  The new forms are part of the Advisory Committee’s ongoing forms modernization project that began in 2008. The new forms introduce different versions of case opening forms for individual debtors and non-individual debtors. The forms are also easier for debtors to understand and complete, and are designed to work with scheduled enhancements to the federal courts’ case opening and electronic case management system. All but six of the existing official forms and virtually all the director’s bankruptcy forms will be replaced.

  Copies of the pending official bankruptcy forms and committee notes are available for your review from the U.S. Courts website at:
  http://www.uscourts.gov/rules-policies/pending-rules-amendments/pending-changes-bankruptcy-forms.

  The following PDFs provide more detailed information about the forms impacted.

  • Instructions for Non-Individual Debtors (pdf)

  For Pro Se (Self-Represented) Filers Filing on or After December 1, 2015

  If you are considering filing a bankruptcy case, you should know that the Bankruptcy Rules contain a set of official bankruptcy forms, and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9009 provides that the Official Forms “shall be observed and used” in cases and proceedings under the Code. Unless the Court has its own local form, use of the revised Official Forms will be mandatory beginning on December 1, 2015, if the forms are approved.

  If you intend to file for bankruptcy PRIOR TO December 1, 2015, the forms currently posted on our web site are the Official Forms prescribed by the Judicial Conference and may be used to file your bankruptcy case prior to December 1, 2015.

  WARNING: If you intend to file for bankruptcy ON or AFTER December 1, 2015, you are urged to use the revised Official Forms, starting December 1, 2015.

  The Official Forms effective December 1, 2015 will be available by from the court web site shortly after approval by the Judicial Conference at its September 2015 meeting.

  According to the Security Operations Center of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, the emails are instructing recipients to report to a hearing on a specified day and time. The emails also instruct recipients to review an attached document for detailed case information. When the attachments or links in the email are opened, a malicious program is launched that infects the recipient's computer. Several state courts have reported similar schemes, and also are warning the public about potential viruses.

  Unless you are actively involved in a case in federal court and have consented to receive court notifications electronically, you generally will not be served with court documents electronically.

  If you receive an email regarding a federal court case or matter of which you are unaware, you should contact the federal court in your jurisdiction before opening any attachments or links. Use the court locator to find your court's contact information.

Landis to serve as a judge of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada.

  Mr. Landis, 50, is currently the acting U.S. trustee for Region 17, which encompasses the District of Nevada and the Eastern and Northern districts of California.

  “We are very pleased to welcome Mr. Landis to the bankruptcy bench in Nevada. He brings considerable knowledge and experience, both as a trustee and practitioner, to his new position,” Judge Kozinski said.

  Mr. Landis will fill a judgeship left vacant by the retirement of Judge Linda B. Riegle, who continues to serve the court as a recalled judge. Scheduled to take the oath of office on November 27, 2013, he will maintain chambers in Las Vegas.

  Mr. Landis has served in the U.S. Trustee Program of the U.S. Department of Justice since 2005 and has been the acting U.S. trustee for Region 17 since 2010. He is responsible for the management, operational performance, and legal positions advanced by the regional office located in San Francisco and six field offices located in Las Vegas, Reno, Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento and Fresno.

  Prior to his government service, Mr. Landis engaged in private practice as an associate attorney at Whitfield & Eddy, P.L.C., in Des Moines, Iowa, from 1990 to 1995, and as a member attorney from 1996 to 2005. He handled commercial and bankruptcy litigation from case inception through resolution by arbitration, mediation, settlement or trial. Mr. Landis also worked as an associate at Neiman, Neiman, Stone & Spellman, P.C., in Des Moines, from 1987 to 1989, representing debtors, creditors, and as a Chapter 7 panel trustee in contested matters and adversary proceedings.

  A native of Springfield, Illinois, Mr. Landis received his B.S. degree in business administration from Drake University in 1984 and his J.D. in 1987 from Drake Law School, where he served as a staff member of the Drake Law Review. While in law school, he received American Jurisprudence awards for excellence in torts in 1984 and conflicts of law in 1987.

  The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada received 14,483 filings in fiscal year 2013. The court is authorized four bankruptcy judges.

  Judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit have statutory responsibility for selecting and appointing bankruptcy judges in the nine western states that comprise the Ninth Circuit. The court uses a comprehensive merit selection process for the initial appointment and for reappointments. Bankruptcy judges serve a 14-year, renewable term, at a salary of $160,080, and handle all bankruptcy-related matters under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

  Judge Davis will maintain chambers in Las Vegas. She fills a judgeship vacated by Judge Bruce A. Markell, who departed July 10, 2013. Judge Davis was sworn in as a Nevada Bankruptcy Judge on July 12, 2013 by Judge Linda B. Riegle, who will retire on July 31, 2013, but will remain with the bankruptcy court on recall status through December 31, 2014. 

  "Ms. Davis is an experienced practitioner who is well regarded by the bench and bar. She will be an asset to the bankruptcy court in Nevada," Judge Kozinski said in announcing the appointment.

  Judge Davis practiced law for 26 years in Nevada and Arizona. Since 2007, she has been a shareholder of Fennemore Craig, P.C., doing business in Nevada as Fennemore Craig Jones Vargas, where she was also a member of the firm’s management committee. Judge Davis worked previously at the Las Vegas law firm of Lionel Sawyer & Collins, as a partner from 1994 to 2007, and as an associate from 1987 to 1993. 

  For 20 years, Judge Davis held a business bankruptcy certification from the American Board of Certification, which is accredited by the American Bar Association. Her practice focused on chapter 11 business bankruptcy, workouts and restructuring, representing debtors, creditors, committees, equity holders, trustees and parties seeking to buy assets or businesses out of bankruptcy. She also served as a chapter 11 trustee.

  In 2012 and 2013, Judge Davis was recognized by Benchmark Litigation as one of the Top 250 Women in Litigation in the Nation. Judge Davis was a Ninth Circuit Lawyer Representative to the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference from 2001 to 2004, and as co-chair of the Nevada Delegation and member of the Lawyer Representative Coordinating Committee in 2004. Judge Davis is a Master of the Howard D. McKibben Inn of Court, served two years as Chair of the Nevada State Bar Bankruptcy Section, served as a Nevada State Bar Transitioning Into Practice Mentor, and served on numerous bench/bar committees benefitting the U.S. district and bankruptcy courts for the District of Nevada

  Judge Davis is active in professional, public and community service organizations. She is also a graduate of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Las Vegas, Class of 1999, and was selected as a finalist for two community service awards.

  A native of Milford, Utah, Judge Davis received her B.S. in Hotel Administration from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 1983, and her JD, magna cum laude, from the University of San Diego School of Law in 1987.

  Effective: May 1, 2013

  • Chapter 9 Reopening – $1,167.00
  • Chapter 15 Reopening – $1,167.00
  • New Transfer of Claim Fee – $25.00
    

  About the Transfer of Claim Fee

  The Transfer of Claim fee was approved by the Judicial Conference of the United States at its September 2012 session.

  In considering this fee, the Judicial Conference Committees with jurisdiction over bankruptcy fees recognized the impact a transfer of a claim has on the workload of the bankruptcy courts, including impact on court time and resources. Bankruptcy Rule 3001(e) requires the clerk of court to notice a transferred claim, and provides additional notice and hearing requirements if an objection to a transfer is made.

  The fee will be assessed by bankruptcy courts upon the filing of the claim transfer, whether filed by a transferee or transferor. It will apply to partial claims transfers as well. In the event multiple claims transfers are filed at one time by one entity (claims upload or batch filing), the $25 fee will be charged for each individual claim transferred.

  The fee must be paid by credit card upon the filing of the claims transfer in CM/ECF using Pay.gov or by whatever means is designated by the court if the claim transfer is not filed electronically. An entity that electronically handles claims transfers must ensure that the individual filing a transfer is authorized to pay this fee by credit card.

  Entities that transfer claims should be aware that courts may be reviewing user accounts, account access, and the number of accounts authorized for a particular entity in anticipation of this fee.

  The Transfer of Claim fee is listed on our Fee Schedule web site page under Miscellaneous Fees.

  For questions regarding this fee, please call the Help Desk at (866) 232-1266.
