Overview:                                         

A Motion to Approve Compromise/Settlement/Stipulation may be filed by a party in interest, trustee or the US Trustee. Such motions may be filed in the main case as a separate motion, or in any contested matter or adversary proceeding when the parties have mutually agreed to resolve the dispute and no longer require the court to make a determination in the matter.

This filing should be accompanied by the Motion, Notice of Motion, and a Proposed Order.  When required by Local Bankruptcy Rule 9013-3, a Certificate of Service must also be filed. 

LF 9019-1 should also accompany the motion if the matter was previously set for a hearing.

For order format, please see Proposed Orders
