Dear Associates:
There have been recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure effective December 1, 2009. These changes impact deadlines and timeframes for many actions under the Rules. The amended deadlines substitute a timeframe that is a multiple of seven days. Throughout the rules, deadlines are amended in the following manner:
5-day periods become 7-day periods
10-day periods become 14-day periods
15-day periods become 14-day periods
20-day periods become 21-day periods
25-day periods become 28-day periods
Therefore, the following new timeframes apply:
Notice of Appeal - 14 days
Stay of Order (of implementation of sale, loan, lift of stay, or confirmation of plan) - 14 days unless waived
Notice of Intent to Abandon - 14 days
Notice of Intent to Sell - 21 days
