CONVERSION

(a) CONVERSIONS UPON DEBTOR’S FIRST REQUEST

Unless the case has previously been converted, a debtor’s motion to convert a case under 11 U.S.C. §§ 706(a) or 1112(a) does not require notice and a hearing. Such motions shall comply with subparagraph (b) below and shall be served on the United States trustee in accordance with Local Bankruptcy Rule 2002-2(a). Notice of an order, if any, converting a case to another chapter shall be given by the clerk to all creditors and interested parties and to the United States trustee.

(b) ADDITIONAL FEES ON CONVERSION OF A CASE

Any notice or motion for conversion of a case shall be accompanied by payment of the additional filing fee, if any, required for cases under the chapter to which the moving party seeks conversion. If a conversion to chapter 11 is denied, the conversion fee will be reimbursed to the payor upon written request to the Fiscal Department of the clerk’s office. A conformed copy of the order denying the conversion to chapter 11 shall be attached to the request for reimbursement. If a conversion to chapter 7 is denied, there will be no refund of the filing fee paid when the motion was filed.
