14. Chapter 13 Plan and Procedures

The court requires use of the district’s form Chapter 13 Plan implemented on January 1, 2023, for cases filed or after that date.

Parties are expected to comply with the Order re Joint Pre-Hearing Conference Statements on Objections to Confirmation of Chapter 13 Plans.

For cases pending as of January 1, 2023, and in which a plan has been confirmed, the court requires any proposed modified plan to use the form plan in effect as of the date of the filing of the case.

The court requires debtors to file only annual declarations attesting to Direct Secured Debt Obligations, as described in section 9.1 of the January 1, 2023, form plan.  Such declarations need not introduce or authenticate documentary proof of the payments to which the declaration attests, but debtors should understand that declarations lacking such proof might not be sufficient if a factual dispute arises.
