Subject: RE: [cdcbaa] Relief From Stay - Mandatory Forms
I think my advice would differ depending on the judge. There are certain
judges in a certain downtown courthouse who would use a non-form Motion as
an excuse to deny it without considering the merits. There are many other
judges who would not put form over substance.

David -Didn't this come up at the program on the new Local Rules and J. Donovansaid (as did J. Zurzolo's clerk) that youshould use the mandatory forms and annotate them to fit your situation. The LBR is pretty clear that they are mandatory, so I'd vote for modifying/annotating the Form. Good Luck.

Subject: [cdcbaa] Relief From Stay - Mandatory Forms
I want to file a relief from stay motion which does not fit into any of the required forms. One of my arguments is that the stay does not apply.ns are:
1. Tweak one of the forms by adding/deleting language as necessary.
2. Do an old fashion motion on pleading paper
What is the collective wisdom of the group?
