FIRST AMENDED STANDING ORDER (05-1): VACATED

On October 31, 2005, this Court adopted First Amended Standing Order (05-1). This Court adopted the current version of the Local Rules on November 1, 2017. Four of the five provisions of First Amended Standing Order were substantively incorporated into the current Local Rules, Model Plan, or the Appendix to Local Rules. See Bankr. E.D. Wis. L.R. 1007.2, 2002, 4001, 4004; Official Form Plan for the Eastern District of Wisconsin; and Appendix to Local Rules. The remaining provision of First Amended Standing Order regarding the delivery of payment advices is inconsistent with the current Local Rules.

Therefore, to avoid repetition or confusion, IT IS ORDERED that First Amended Standing Order (05-1) is vacated.

AMENDED GENERAL ORDER NO. 2 (08-1): VACATED

On October 12, 2018, this Court adopted Amended General Order No. 2 (08-1) to vacate General Order No. 1 and to keep Interim Bankruptcy Rule of Procedure 5012 in effect until further order by the court.

Interim Rule 5012 was abrogated in December 2010.

Therefore, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Amended General Order No. 2 (08-1) is vacated. General Order No. 1 will remain vacated.

GENERAL ORDER NO. 3 (08-2): RESTATED

This Court’s December 8, 2008 General Order No. 3 gives effect to Interim Rule 1007-I, which implements the National Guard and Reservists Debt Relief Act of 2008—an Act that provides a temporary exclusion from the means test for certain members of the Armed Forces—as well as all amendments to Interim Rule 1007-I. The order remains in effect and Interim Rule 1007-I and all amendments to it continue to apply in this court.

GENERAL ORDER (11-1): RESTATED

General Order 11-1, dated July 18, 2011, states: “Panel trustees . . . are authorized to incur and pay any actual, necessary expenses (as contemplated by 11 U.S.C. §330) for bank fees and charges directly related to the administration of estate accounts…” This Court did not include this authorization in Local Rule 2070(a), though the failure to do so appears to have resulted from oversight, rather than design. Consequently, the panel trustees continue to be authorized to incur and pay any actual, necessary expenses (as contemplated by 11 U.S.C. §330) for bank fees and charges directly related to the administration of estate accounts, subject to the terms of Local Rule 2070.

All prior general orders of the bankruptcy court that are not restated above are vacated.
