VZ Chapter 13 - no more earlier consent calendar
Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2018 11:11 am
Just happened to me. After I satisfy some minor trustee issues I am filing a motion to set an earlier confirmation hearing date. There is no reason for creditors not to start getting paid until 18 months after the case is filed. The judges rules on the website still refer to only the court or the trustee setting an initial or a continued confirmation hearing, by self calendaring. Seems logical that debtor can move for a new hearing date then serve that order with an amended hearing notice stating the 14 day objection period. That avoids any extra work for the trustee and flushes out any objections earlier in the case. But its probably better to wait out the 70 days claim deadline first.

In many of my cases, we complied with the trustees requirements and the cases were put on the first available consent calendar. I just found out that with the new LBRs on Chapter 13, there will be no more earlier consent calendar.
