December 1, 2024, Rule and Form Changes

Monday, November 25, 2024

Information on the Federal Rule and Form changes that go into effect December 1, 2024, is available on the U.S. Courts website:

Filers should be aware that Official Form 423 is abrogated.  Previously, Form 423 was used as evidence that the debtor had completed a course in personal financial management.  A change to Rule 1007(b)(7) will instead require submission of the certificate of course completion issued by an approved course provider.

 

The Clerk’s Office has updated NM LF 4004-1 Certification in Support of Entry of Chapter 13 Discharge. The updated local form can be found on the Court’s website:
