General Order Regarding Bankruptcy Noticing Center Service Interruption

Friday, October 16, 2026

The Court has entered a General Order addressing the service interruption affecting the Bankruptcy Noticing Center. Please see the attached order.

1. Affected Notices. To insure that no party experiences prejudice by a failure to respond to a notice that was not served as a result of the BNC service interruption, subject to applicable law and further order of the Court, the court will continue hearings as appropriate.

2. Deadlines and Hearings. Upon request of a party in interest, or on its own initiative where permitted by law, the judge to whom a case is assigned may extend or reset deadlines or continue hearings as necessary to address the interruption. Parties may request relief by written motion or orally at a previously scheduled hearing. Parties shall confer when practicable and advise the Court whether the requested relief is agreed upon or opposed. All scheduled hearings shall proceed unless the Court orders otherwise.
