In re Hall, 51 B.R. 326 (Bankr.D.Utah)
PUBLISHED
After debtors' chapter 11 case was converted to chapter 7, the court issued an order directing creditors to file claims within 30 days of the order. As a result, claims were due only 4 days after the first meeting of creditors. Creditor that filed its claim 7 days after the meeting of creditors (3 days after the noticed cut-off date) moved for leave to file its untimely claim. The court determined that Bankruptcy Rule 3002(c) sets the cut-off date for filing claims in a chapter 7 case at 90 days after the creditors meeting (with exceptions that were not applicable), and that Bankruptcy Rule 9006(c)(2) specifically prohibits reduction of that time. Therefore, creditor's claim had been timely filed.
