Local Rule 9014.2 CONTESTED MATTERS, CONSENT TO ENTRY OF FINAL ORDER OR JUDGMENT

(a) In addition to the requirements of LR 9014, LR 9014.1, and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9014(a), the moving party in a contested matter must include a statement that the pleader does or does not consent to the entry of final orders or judgment by the bankruptcy judge.

(b) The non-moving party must submit with its response a statement that the responding party does or does not consent to the entry of final orders or judgment by the bankruptcy judge.

(c) Should any party fail to consent to the entry of final orders or judgment by the bankruptcy judge, then the bankruptcy judge may require the parties to submit pleadings in support of or in opposition to the entry of final orders or judgment by the bankruptcy judge. Unless otherwise provided, Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9014 and LR 9014 will govern this procedure. The bankruptcy court may sua sponte determine and enter an order on whether the proceeding is subject to entry of final orders or judgment by the bankruptcy court, unless the district court withdraws the reference first.
