PREFACE

These Local Rules are promulgated to assist counsel and the participants of the

bankruptcy system by announcing procedures for our local practice which are not covered

by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

These Local Rules were modified as part of the process by which this Court has

implemented its electronic Case Filing procedures. It should be noted that Part X contains

special provisions for pro se filers.

Certain provisions of the Local Rules of the U.S. District Court, Western District of

Missouri, have been incorporated in the Bankruptcy Local Rules. Additional District Court

Local Rules may be applied in particular cases at the discretion of the judge.

Unless otherwise specified, all statutory references are to Title 11, United States

Code.
