The Southern District of Indiana and the Southern District of Ohio are revising their Local Rules effective December 1, 2009. Both jurisdictions are revising their Rules to require creditors to attach a post-petition payment history to motions for relief from stay in Chapter 13 cases.

Additionally, the Southern District of Ohio will require additional documentation to be supplied with motions for relief from stay on real estate. Creditors will be required to attach a copy of the recorded deed upon which the debtor acquired the property to the motion for relief from stay.

Please include these additional documents when referring motions for relief form stay to our office in order for us to more quickly process the motion.
