News and Announcements

The adjustment of the dollar amounts in various sections of title 11, United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code), and in one section of title 28, became effective pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 104 and applies to cases filed on or after April 1, 2025. A chart showing the current and adjusted dollar amounts is below.

Also, seven Official Bankruptcy Forms (106C, 107, 122A-2, 122C-2, 201, 207, and 410) and two Director’s Forms (2000 and 2830) that incorporate the dollar amounts have been posted to uscourts.gov on the Pending or Recent Changes in the Bankruptcy Forms page.

     In order to promote efficiency and consistency in practice across our district, the court has promulgated the below confirmation orders (hyperlinks) for use in cases under Subchapter V of Chapter 11. Each of the orders deals with a different confirmation scenario: 

          (1) Individual Debtor/Consensual Confirmation; 

          (2) Individual Debtor/Non-Consensual Confirmation; 

          (3) Corporate Debtor/Consensual Confirmation; and 

          (4) Corporate Debtor/Non-Consensual Confirmation.

     There are two major points of distinction between the orders: (i) whether confirmation is consensual (11 U.S.C. § 1191(a)) or non-consensual (11 U.S.C. § 1191(b)); and (ii) discharge, the timing and scope of which depend upon whether the reorganized debtor is an individual or a corporate entity and whether plan confirmation is consensual or non-consensual.

     Please understand that these orders are a starting point. As early as practicable in any given case, we encourage you to address with your presiding judge what changes they – or you – might wish to make to these orders when the time comes. We also encourage brevity and simplicity.

     As always, we thank you for your hard work and professionalism.
