SUMMARY OF MODIFIED LOCAL RULES

OF THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF OKLAHOMA

RULE 1002‐1.

PETITION – GENERAL

Specific Requirements.

1. The petition shall conform to the Official Bankruptcy Form 101 Voluntary Petition for

Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy or Official Bankruptcy Form 201 Voluntary Petition for

Non‐Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy.

3. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362 (i)(1) if the landlord has obtained a judgment for possession of

the leasehold prior to the date of the filing of the petition against a debtor/tenant, the

debtor must complete and file Official Form 101A Initial Statement about an Eviction

Judgment Against You and Official Form 101B Statement of An Eviction Judgment Against

you, if applicable. In cases where 11 U.S.C. § 362 (i)(1), is applicable, the Act requires the

debtor to deposit with the Clerk of the Court any rent that would become due during the

thirty (30) day period after the filing of the bankruptcy petition.

The debtor shall file and transmit contemporaneously with the petition,

and transmit to the Court at same time as filed, a certified cashier’s check or

money order made payable to the lessor (cash is not accepted), and

A copy of the judgment for possession.

RULE 1006‐1.

FILING FEE

Provision for Payment. Payment of a filing fee shall be in accordance with Local Rules 5080‐1

and 5081‐1 and the CM/ECF Administrative Guide unless the individual petition is

accompanied by an Application for Individuals to Pay the Filing Fee in Installments, prepared as

prescribed by the appropriate Official Form 103A, and the first payment equal to no less than

25% of the filing fee for that particular chapter or if individual filing under chapter 7, an

application requesting a waiver under 28 U.S.C. §1930(f), prepared as prescribed by the

appropriate Official Form B3B 103B Application to Have the Chapter 7 Filing Fee Waived. If

debtor makes application to pay in installments, the debtor must certify that they will not

make any additional payment or transfer any additional property to an attorney or other

person for services in connection with the case until the filing fee is paid in full. An Application

for Individuals to Pay the Filing Fee in Installments submitted by a Debtor with a filing fee due

from a prior case dismissed within 180 days will result in the entry of an order requiring the

Page 1 of 9

EXHIBIT A

Debtor to pay the filing fees in both cases. Failure to do so shall result in the case being

dismissed. In a Chapter 13 case, the installment payments must be made by the Debtor or the

Debtor’s Attorney directly to the Clerk and not through the Chapter 13 Plan. If a Chapter 13

case is dismissed or converted before confirmation of a plan, any unpaid filing fee shall be paid

by the Trustee from any funds on hand in the case.

Waiver of Filing Fees. Pursuant to Title 28 U.S.C. § 1930, the Court may waive filing fees in a

case under Chapter 7. This Court will waive fees only under very limited circumstances.

The debtor may request a waiver of the filing fee by completing and filing Official Form

103B Application to Have the Chapter 7 Filing Fee Waived with the Clerk of the Court. The Judge

may waive the fee only if the debtor’s income level is less than 150 per cent of the poverty line

applicable to the family size of the debtor and the debtor is unable to pay the fee in

installments.

This Court shall not grant waivers of filing fees if an individual is represented by an

attorney that has been, or will be, compensated. Representation by an attorney acting pro

bono or a legal service attorney that does not charge the debtor will not preclude payment

waivers.

The waiver of the filing fee is subject to review, and the Court’s ruling waiving the fee

may be vacated if developments in the case or administration of the estate demonstrate that

the waiver was unwarranted.

If the filing fee of an individual Chapter 7 debtor is waived and that debtor’s case is later

converted to a case under Chapter 13, the debtor must pay the full Chapter 13 filing fee. The

conversion order will give the debtor time in which to either pay the filing fee in full or begin

making installment payments.

If an application for filing fee waiver is denied, the order will direct that the debtor

either pay the filing fee in full or pay the fee in installments as outlined in the order.

The waiver of filing fees in this case relates to the initial filing fee of a Chapter 7 case,

amended schedules and amended matrixes. It will not affect the requirement to pay filing fees

for appeals.

RULE 1007‐1.
